LOL! Good man.

ahhhh what a trip it was.... we have to do a trip like that for CAMM!!!

Well, Vic and I (and I think Brian and Deb?) are planning on going to Carlisle this summer. Maybe that could be our trip. Pennsylvania here we come!

If we do want to do that we could enter as a club since they let clubs register if I'm remembering correctly.

PA might be back on for me.......

Due to the recent turn of events.

sweet!!!!

Will catch you up on Saturday.

Good events.

Nothing about the job thing we were talking about.







BTW OG donks we need to find those donkey ears and get everyone their membership pictures........

Just being a bit nostalgic today while I'm waiting for the season to start. Plus with so many new members lately I think they would enjoy learning about how we came to be.....

So, start at the first post, ENJOY!

ahhhhhh $80 fill ups at the pump....that sucked!

Yeah it did. But its kinda starting to head that way again. D'oh....

Lucky!

Ive never really thought of us as a car club....

we definetly arent a typical one then...

I dont think I will ever consider CAMM just a car club...

I feel we are above and beyond a car club,more like family,or at least damn good friends,looking for more to join us...

so I guess from now ON,if someone asks if we are...

I will state ... "some think we are...but I think we are more than that!"

We are for sure not just a car club, more then that.

A car club or automotive enthusiast community is a group of people who share a common interest in motor vehicles. Car clubs are typically organized by enthusiasts around type of vehicle (e.g. Corvette, Mustang), brand (e.g. Jeep), or similar interest (e.g. off-roading). Traditional car clubs were off-line organizations, but automotive on-line communities have flourished on the internet.

Traditional Car Clubs
Historically, car clubs refer to off-line entities, typically organized as non-profits and run by volunteers (who were most often elected). Some clubs were large enough to be run as a paid business with salaried employees; in the 1960s, some were sponsored by car dealers.

Many car clubs charge membership fees in exchange for benefits, such as publications and events. The publications typically contain photographs, messages from other members, service and parts advice, items and vehicles wanted and/or for sale, and historical material of interest to the membership. Car clubs often host gatherings (called "meets") which often also welcome interested non-members. Car clubs also may engage in other activities of various types, including races, cruising, shows, "mod" days when garage equipment and service tools are available for members to perform and assist each other with DIY work, or community service activities. Meets are basically a time for the club to hang out with one another and to talk about cars and do normal stuff, such as bowling, eating, movies, etc.

Many (if not most) traditional car clubs have now added online presences, although most of the content typically resides in a walled garden for members only. Most clubs have an online presence mainly through their car forums relevant to their car of interest. Some clubs also have their own website. They usually use the forums or their site to organize their meets and gatherings. For instance, before a big event, they would organize to see how many people are going, where to meet up, and how to caravan to their destination. Many car club members consider what they do, more than just a hobby, it is a lifestyle that they live by.


Internet Communities
The internet accelerated the growth of participation as online communities attracted large numbers of members. The internet encouraged and fostered the development of many clubs centered around specific vehicles, including niche makes and models.

Unlike traditional clubs, the content of most online communities are open to all for free. This has facilitated their growth, and made them a resource for potential owners or newbies. Larger online communities report registered members in the hundreds of thousands.

Internet communities typically provide features such as forums, content databases (which include vehicle specifications, driving characteristics, repair information, and car tuning advice), Instant messaging services, photo-sharing, and commercial services (such as for sale by owner listings, part supplier directories, and referrals to mechanics and car dealers).

Most automotive communities were founded by individual enthusiats/entrepreneurs. In 2006, Internet Brands began acquiring these types of websites and the company has become the largest operator of automotive communities in the world.

As with traditional car clubs, some internet automotive communities sponsor or operate off-line meets. For example, CorvetteForum.com has been a sponsor and partner of the annual Corvette Cruise-in each year in Bowling Green, Kentucky, home of the Corvette manufacturing plant. Many of the leading internet communities feature active directories of regional meets.


International
In some countries, notably in Japan, some car clubs are run as a way of regulating street races and to race against people they know, therefore reducing the possibility of an accident; the best known being the Mid Night Club. Also clubs are used to enter team drifting contests.
