It would be somewhat labor intensive to keep track of.

2)do you have to "prove" you own one?
Yes, at the time you submit your LM form. Not that difficult to do.

3) if one sells or totals their car is their membership gone forever or reinstated when they buy another
Reinstated

4) does an LT-5 in another car qualify, prototypes and ex-vin cars?
ZR-1 ownership, not LT-5 ownership

5) "certain number of honorary memberships" sound a lot like favoritism and politics
It could be if not careful. These could be voted on by other LM's.

6) makes more sense to me to try to encourage more lifelong members not discourage them for the long term health of the group
Not neccesarily. There will still be a need for Annual Membership Renewals in order to keep cash flow.

7)sounds like you DO want to make it a status symbol
Not at all. But I do think that the only ones that will pony up $1000 for a LM are the ones that are absolutely committed to the lifelong endeavor of making sure this club stays together. And I think they should be recognized for that committment.

Absolutely no malice intended. Just want what's best for the club
Absolutely none taken. In the end we all only want what's best for the club. In response to #1 and #3 - While I do like the idea of a LM being available, due to the work envolved I'm second guessing the ZR-1 ownership requirement. I like the idea but it's just too much to keep track of. Ownership requirement at the time of your purchase is a good compromise but no requirement to retain ownership during the full term of your LM.
