I was debating joining a local Mustang car club or the Mustang car club of America.... is anyone else a member of any club?

 

I am a member of my local (Pierce County Washington) Mustang club and am still a member of the S2000 Club of America, even though I have sold my S2000. In fact our chapter is hosting the annual gathering next year and I will be organizing the group drives and leading drives each day in my Mustang. Car clubs are, after all, about people who share a common interest in a particular car. The car may go, but the friendships endure.

 

That's awesome, I just went from an S2000 to a Mustang, too! I'm not a member of my local Mustang club, but I would be interested to know how other people like theirs. Down south, there are a lot of negative stigmas about Mustang owners . . . .

 

Those S2000 b otches can freaking run a bit. They got some *****!

 

Just TMS.

 

MCA

It gets me a discount on my classic car insurance

 

Yeah, on a track it was as fast as anything out there. Straight line or on the highway . . . not so much

 

I used to be a part of the SVT Club of North Texas back in high school.
Since college is over though, I tried to join Houston's West Side Mustangs but our schedules never really mesh.
The hardest part about getting in with a new club is really getting involved with people you don't know... hoping they're welcoming. A lot of clubs already have their own clicks.

I went to a track day at Eagle Canyon Raceway up north of Fort Worth and met a lot of cool mustang owners there. I kinda wish those guys were down in Houston. Cool, very welcoming, guys.

 

That's interesting--how so?

 

Here in Fort Worth, I belong to DFW5.0s.com.

zbrewha863, what do you mean when you say 'down south'?

 

I went on a road trip with my S2000 friends and they were surprised at how well my V6 automatic Mustang could hang with them.

 

I joined BMW Car Club of America. I've never owned a Bimer, and likely never will. But they throw very well organized track days around where I live, and being a member you save nearly $100 on their events. Well worth it.

Plus it's fun outrunning ~$50k Bimers with my ~$30k Mustang

 

Well I'm in Florida, but in the deep south part of it. Here, in the car club scene (before I had a Mustang) people would kind of make fun of the Mustang guys as being rednecks or thinking that their cars were way faster than they were.

There were a lot of "Slowbra" jokes and such, especially with the 2002 and older Mustang owners. But every Mustang owner I've met has been cool, redneck or not.

 

I lived in Port Charlotte for a while. Nothing but rice burners with big spoilers and fart cannons. Nice Mustangs were rare. I'm so glad to be back in the Motor City..Mustangs everywhere!

 

Why does that surprise you?
