Seeking Active Car Club

[scooper]

Hi guys and gals, my name's Cooper and I saw that this little spot of the forum was for people around the Columbus GA area. I have been looking for a car club around the area just so I can meet up with and hang out with fellow import enthusiasts like myself. I 30 years old and married. I manage the new O'reilly auto parts store on Wynnton roads commercial department and have been working for the company about a year. I have been around cars all my life and have had just about every type of sports car I ever wanted. From an 86' 383 stroked Camaro to an 87' Mustang GT with a boosted 347 stroker and I even owned a 1990 300z twin turbo at one point. I just recent got into the Honda scene and have been reading and studying and reading and studying.. I even dream of parts and swaps for my car in my sleep now. Oh, and for those who just have to know, my current ride is a 1990 EF. It's a stock DX for now but I have a LS block for it, with a B16 head and GSR Valvetrain under construction now. I still need to find a Si Tranny and some other parts but, hey, it's a project car.

Anywho, im seeking a mature and active car club or group of guys to hang out with and just BS about BS'ing... I dunno. I visit the Phenix Drag strip alot, and even venture out to Reynolds from time to time as well.

Good luck finding a good car club most ppl in here just meet up whenever they feel like it... but you can hook up with lowline you don't really even half to have a car to be in that car club

[scooper]

lowline.. not quite what I was looking for. I'll keep looking or even try to start up my own I guess.

I'm with lowline custom justin, it's the best ever.

i used to be in lowline a while ago. its a good club to start in. im with team deja vu now. but i think the "club" scene is slowly dying.

[justnprsh07]

Plenty of clubs just none worth messing with if there was a club that actually had standards it would be alright I like hanging out with ppl that have similar cars... got to look good or be fast not old saturns and trucks that just have wheels

[egsn-95]

^^ i know what your talking about. my new crew is a show crew. we actually have some standards unlike some others.(not trying to sound like a dick)

[scooper]

That's what I was looking for. I know the "club" scene is dying. But I was hoping that there were still some around. And to me a club MUST have standards, events, rides, active members.

I have been wanting to start up a car club that upholds such standards, I wonder if anyone be interested. I can get the hookup on decals, shirts, hats, and even build websites. I had tossed the idea around a few years back and had come up with a few names for the club, but the one that really stood out was

C - Columbus
I - Import
A - Alliance

or

C - Columbus
I - Import
C - Crew (Reverse the "c")

Each person would have a nickname on their team/crew shirt and on their car, up under the logo like.

C.I.A
Columbus Import Alliance
"Flyboy"

There would also be a "rank" on the logo as well, see below.

The C.I.A would be open to all types of IMPORT cars, It does not have to be just a Honda or a DSM. If you spend the time and money on your car, and you live and love them like we all do ours, you are equal in my book. That's what it's about, an alliance of all types of tuners who love to laugh and hang out and become close friends.

Members would gain "rank" similar to a military based ranking system on how active and outgoing they were. As well as helped promote the club and attending regular car meets. I would like to have a meet at least once a week, and possibly a club ride at least every 2 weeks during the summer.


If anyone is interested let me know, im open for suggestions and ideas. If I can get at least 5 more people interested, we can probably get this thing going up and off the ground and make a name in the C-Town area for tuners and import lovers to have a chance to join a car club that would be a one of a kind family.

[egsn-95]

sounds cool. but if it doesnt work out lmk and you can prob join TDV. its a mix of imports/domestics from 68 mustangs to r32 v-dubs. to stay in you must keep modding you car weather its for the track or the show. check out www.teamdejavu.org---sry for site construction---

Street evil, but one of the rules is must run a 12.9 on streets and factory turbo cars 12.2 on street tires. There's alot of rules but its worth looking into, alot of event going and drag racing and trips and such. I use to be in it before work got busy.

Thats because you tried to go biker boyz on them, they weren't having that.

I did an incognito mulit-honk on you the other day when I was driving my mom's "built" civic.

[LIKEG6]

[kte324]

[Bridged]

Havent you been like 30 twice?

Active car clubs are going to be hard to find. Most clubs are full of people who already know each other and just happen to share the same interests. I'm 24 and I know a couple guys a little older that drive some pretty decent rides. Push from these forums is one of they guys I hang out with on a regular basis. Other then that, I dont really know anybody here.

It would probably be wise to just go out and meet people. The older folks are, the farther they will be from a computer.
