Eternal Rollerz club shirt at all car club functions. Some shows such as
fund raiser shows or at non competitive shows your chapter leadership may
ask that the members dress in casual clothing. A car club function is something
like a car show or other car related event involving other club members
and cars. If there is confusion on what is considered a "Official"
club function please ask your chapter leadership. Your
shirts should not be worn at any other times. A club shirt is for club members

can and take your membership oath very seriously.

plaque. If you leave the club you will be expected to return the plaque
in good undamaged condition exchange for your security deposit. We take our club seriously and we are not
a club for plaque collectors or club flip floppers.

the Internet and in the real world. This doesn't mean try to recruit anybody
and everybody. We want dedicated active new members with positive attitudes
who will add to our club.
8.
Direct recruitment of active members of other lowrider clubs is expressly prohibited.
It's not classy and it only causes drama.

due. "The Golden Rule" is a fundamental moral principle which
simply means " Treat others as you would like to be treated. "

All members will keep things LEGAL! No illicit
drugs, illegal weapons or anything that would bring the club a bad name
in the community. Remember that you are a positive role model for younger
generations that may someday build their own lowriders. We don't want to
add to the bad stereotype or image given to the lowriding hobby. Driving
under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicating substances is strictly
prohibited regardless of the legality of the substance in your state.

All members have knowledge and skills to share with fellow members. It helps
keep things cheaper and improve the speed of our automotive projects. For
example, trading a paint job for a hydraulics install.

person who goes ABOVE and BEYOND
