I would like to use a custom image as my avatar but it´s not working.
Alas, avatars are not offered to non-paying site visitors. Ready for the long version? Here you go!
We have basically three "classes" of members here:
Enthusiast (no Viper and not a VCA member);
Viper Owner (owns a Viper but not a VCA member); and
VCA Member (top honors). We also have VCA officers, site sponsors, moderators, admins, web committee members, Comp Coupe owners, and more. Oh yeah, and Banned, but they don't post much.
Now we
manually check every VIN or VCA membership number submitted with a profile before we can change the titles. We do it when new users register on the site but previously registered users that were moved to this new software back in April may have lost their "designation".
All you need to do is send me (Y2K5SRT) or Lee (Lee00blacksilverGTS) a PM and we will get you verified accordingly. What are the differences between these various titles? Lots:

As a Viper owner your benefits are no more than an "Enthusiast" - not bad, but not NEARLY as much as a VCA Member:
Viper Owner (unpaid guests)
- Posting privileges in general Viper forums only
- Unable to view or post in VCA Member forum
- Unable to post in the VCA Regional forums
- Unable to post in VCA Viper Events and Gatherings forum
- Unable to have an avatar
- Unable to post a signature
- Gallery privileges up to 3 MB of uploads
- Up to 100 Private Messages allowed
- Classified ad posting of $30 per ad
And if you are a Viper Owner and on the fence about VCA membership, don't be: Besides getting a VIPER magazine subscription, VCA Notes, invitations to all VCA events, $1,000,000 worth of liability insurance at those same Viper events, eligibility for all VCA raffles, etc. And here is what you get on this very website:
VCA Member (paid members)
- Posting privileges in all general Viper Forums
- Posting & viewing privileges in VCA Members forum

- Posting privileges in VCA Viper Events and Gatherings forum

- Ability to write and use personal signature for all posts

As a Viper owner you are eligible to join the VCA with a VERIFIABLE Dodge Viper VIN. If you wish to join the VCA simply call VCA headquarters at 800-998-1110 with your credit card and VIN in hand. Just $100 for renewals and only $80 (second quarter promotion) for new members. As demonstrated above, if you are currently listed as an
Enthusiast and want your status upgraded to
Viper Owner, drop a PM to either Lee (Lee00blacksilverGTS) or Chris (Y2K5SRT) with your Viper VIN and we will get you set up as quickly as possible. Just remember that if you really want to get the very most from this site,
VCA Membership is the King of the Hill - take your Viper ownership to the next level!
Thanks for visiting,
Chris
