Question Do people still ride around with "car clubs"?

I remember like 6-7 years ago it seemed like every car on the road had "Seductive Stylez", "Kaotik Dreamz", "Cruel Intentions" or something of that sort on the back windshield. I remember I wanted to hang out with this one car club when I had my '90 Integra RS I was really close to getting the rear banner, but I'm really glad I didn't because then I would really have to slap some sense into myself. The other members included a '94 Escort wagon, '92 camry and '90 Civic sedan.

Does this still go on? I dunno I'm out of the loop.

I was in a car club for almost two years....I loved it and we had some really nice cars. But like every other car club around me, people became dicks, there were fights, and it broke up.

Car clubs: Because without the name you are just a bunch of idiots driving around in a dozen nasty riced out cars.

I'm in a car club right now, it's nice. We get discounts at an import shop and many people with good connections in the club.

I'm not trying to rag on car clubs or anything. I think it's cool that young people have something to do rather than blowing up mailboxes or something. I just haven't seen any around or hear of any in my area.

Any known clubs more than likey won't be seen cruisin down to the local burger king drive thru... clubs like Severed Ties, Pebble Pushers, everIVlow, etc... only bring their rides out to shows. most of the clubs you'll see are just a buncha kids from the area that want a name for themselves... i think most of em are awesome, although some of them take it a little too far

i think car clubs are cool, well atleast some are, well i dunno how u guys do it, but the clubs over here in LA its to hang out and fix up ur car, what we'll do each week is put in money, and at the end of the month, we raffle, and that money goes to ur car! STRICLY for ur car, so once u get picked ur done, and the nex one goes, so its kinda cool, but i know what u mean by having a camry, and so on in clubs, plus ur name should be decided really carefully, cuz u atleast gotta live up to it, like their was a team called "S.O.S" which was Shifting Outta Sight, and one of the guys went to irwindale speedways, and couldnt even launch on first, so yea, w/e

There all here!!

back in the day (3 years ago), car clubs were the thing if you tuned your car in Tulsa. it was usually a bunch of us high schoolers and the other grown-up gearheads hanging out in a parking lot somewhere on Memorial Dr. it was a lot of fun to see who would come out!!! that all kind of fizzled out though, don't get me wrong but people still go out there it is just not the same anymore. and the people in the club that i knew of got great discounts!! although i think ebay kinda killed that perk

I was in a club with my truck but not with the vic... even got the name tatted on my arm... i like the page btw, a couple of the rules seem a lil dumb but other than that... can't really see the cars too well

I was looking at a local (GA/SC) import club because I thought that it would be fun to hang out and work on people's cars. Turns out you have to be a "trial" member for a month, you are voted on, and you have to attend like 4/5 "club" shows a year to stay a member. I was like, I'm married and I go to school. These people are retarded. They also put on their website that they are all about show. Don't take yourselved too seriously people!
