Why You Should Join a Car Club

I was always skeptical of car clubs, but I wound up loving the one I found at my university. It was filled with enthusiasts and people were real nice to each other, even though the first few meet-ups were so filled with BMWs and Mitsubishi Evos that we nicknamed ourselves BMWs, Evos and Friends.

Last week, I asked you guys for the car clubs you’re part of. Did you start it? How often do you meet? What do you do together?

I didn’t expect much out of my own BMWs, Evos and Friends experience, but after a little while I started to appreciate that spending time with cars took me out of my own garage, my normal circle, and into the company of people I’d never have met otherwise. That’s what makes the car community great: You’ll always have other people with similar interests to hang out with. That’s why we form clubs.

Oh, and we met Jay Leno once when we were out for a cruise on Mulholland. He had his F1 with him. It was neat.
