Okay so i know im stupid and will get treated like the lil brother at the high school party. But i want to join a car club and there are no clubs around here.(except for some that start with X and end with TREME, and we all know about those kind of cars) Is there a way i can be a member of an existing club in anothe city or state?
Why do you want to be in a club so bad? Start your own. Even if you're the only one in it. Hell, especially if you are the only one in it! Be careful whet you wish for..... RASHY
Just start your own. You got friends, right? Get a couple together and call yourself a club. That's what they did in the old days, and by "old days" I mean today.
design your own shirt and/or jacket, and wear the shit out of it! somebody's gonna ask about it, if you like the guy, sell him one. then he'll tell two friends, and he'll tell two friends, etc, etc...eventually you'll get kicked out of your own club, and you just start over!
west virginia, huh? you can call yourselves The Inbreeders or The Hootin' Hollerers or The Blue Boys (based on the alleged existence of families so inbred, their skin has a blue tint) or The Black Lungers or Hillbilly Crackers or...i could go on and on and on.... i have family in charleston and nitro, but they're in-laws
Hey im in st albans... just two miles from nitro. Ive never heard this blue skinned theory. I thought everyone looked like that.
IM not trying to offend anyone here. There is a neon sign the size of wal mart on the side of the race track that says "slots"... but it looks like it says...."sluts" HAd to clarify.. now back to the subject at hand.
I started my own car gang. We are the "Master Racers" We're the members of the master race Got no tact, and we got no taste First you put your sneakers on Going outside to have some fun Dont forget to wipe your ass! Send application for prospect to my PM with pictures of your sister and/or moms.
The other posts are right. If you join an established "club" with a bunh of guys who have been in it forever you will always be the "grunt". Start a new club with guys who are ALREADY your FRIENDS. If you don't happen to have any friends who are also int hotrods, and that can happen since your friends are probably neighborhood or school friends and the arent all necessarily into the same hobbys you are. Just start hanging out where other hotrodders are. Make some new "real" friends It'll happen, or maybe it won't. Sorta like geting married, only without the sex. (hopefully, unless West Virginia is like West Hollywood!) Also, keep in mind stuff like; If you don't drink or smoke, getting in a club with a bunch of rowdy party animals won't work, you'll either stay on the fringes or leave or they'll get you in trouble along with them. (read, "accomplice") Or if you are the wild party animal, don't bother with a "family oriented" kind of oldster's club. Get my drift? And if you have a special talent, like you're a good engine builder or do body work or paint, watch out for guys who want you in their club and immediately want you to "paint a club brother's car for free because that's what club members do" but have no services to give back to you in return. That is what a good club would do, but the reciprocal services rarely happen these days. There's just too many guys out there who pretend to be hotrodders but don't even know how to do something as simple as set the idle on their carburetors. That should be a prerequisite to being in "Our Hobby"!
I was once in the Radio Shack Battery of the Month Club. No jackets or plaques... but they did have a membership card.
West Virginia is the most back asswards screwed up state in the union. Most of the people there have a backwards attitude. Its really weird. Its not funny, and its really damn sad....whole damn state full of idiots. Yes, I grew up there....2 hours north of you. I doubt you will find a traditional car club around there, at least not for the next 10 years. WV is always approximately 10 to 15 years behind the rest of the united states. ......there are girls in my hometown who still wear that "POOF" on their foreheads. You know, that teased hair look from the mid 80's. DAMN, I hate West Virginia.
our club was supposed to be starting a chapter in VW..our vice prez. of the columbus chapter was originally from there creepy
Nope, but I did get calculator shaped like an owl. It was one of edumacational things were you would have to guess the answer and if you were right it's eyes would light up. Never did see those eyes light up?
well, it can't be all bad if you came from there...of course you left when you had the chance. if they're that far behind, i've got some bitchin' mini truck shit i can't get rid of... NOTE-i do NOT have mini truck stuff for sale (any more)
we started a club 5 years ago got upto 36 members. Now only 15 in it and 4 to 5 that attend meeting and go cruisin. The 4-5 includes myself and son (metalflaked60). just my .02 cents....Jimmy
Our most excellent club is made up of 41 members. We would consider you but you would have to make an offering of at least 20 goats and move to India. BTW: You newer car clubs with you dancing girls have nothing on our thousand year old tradition of dancers. Our women also do not look like they come from your "Sea World" with thier extra barge fishing net stockings. Only start your most honorable car club with friends that have a common interest. Friends being the most important part. Don't sweat it if you does not happen, sometimes the lone wolf gets the herd all to himself. Car clubs can generate good Karma or bad Karma, especially is they do not follow full kustom dharma. May the blessing of Kali be upon your endevor.
HA! there used to be a stripper club with that name locally. The nastiest cottage cheese assed women you ever seen. $5 blow jobs in the bathroom. Those were the days.
I belong to a club here called "Road Ratz." It was started by a friend. We were tired of the "politics" a larger club had. Ours is run a little more loosely. No dues, no newsletters, no membershipcards, etc... And wherever two or three members are gathered and are talking 'bout cars is an official meeting. Three is only one requirement: You have to own an old car/truck. Membership is by invitation only. Then it has to be approved by the rest of the members.
I've been in a car club about ten years now. Its not all its cracked up to be. Politics, personality clashes, and egos at times make it less than fun. Guess I'm still there just for the charity car shows we do, and the force of habit. One day I will finaly have had enough and drop out. It starts out great having like minded foks around but as time goes by you may find they aren't really as like minded as you thought. The club just sort of drifts apart or sometimes explodes. Do yourself a favor and forget the club thing. Its way more hassle than its worth. If I do quit my present club I'm not saying I would never be in a club again but, I'm not sure I want to be in a club that would want me as a member. LOL
