I put this together a few years ago when I still had my 2007 Shelby GT500.
Darwin's Garage is an automotive related blog, celebrating the enjoyment of cars, especially performance cars.

Home Town Car Culture
Anywhere you go, you will find car enthusiasts. You will spot them on the streets, easy to identify by the kind of vehicle they drive. They might not have your exact taste in the brand or style of car, but you can see they are a car enthusiast, at least in some degree.
In most communities around the country, they have some organized car clubs or owner associations, of like minded people, who enjoy a particular type of vehicle. Maybe it's Mustangs, Corvettes, old style hot rods, classic cars and trucks, new performance cars, old muscle cars, or rat rods, but they share a passion that brings them together. You may find some that only like their particular flavor of cars, but, for the most part, these are "car people" in general, and they will support other car enthusiasts, no matter what brand, or year of car, they prefer.
In my area, as in most other places, some of these car clubs will organize small, low key, local car shows on a regular bases. Some of them will welcome all enthusiast cars and trucks, no matter what brand you happen to drive. These are my favorite type of car show. You can show up, park your car, join the crowd, and rub shoulders and have great conversations, with all types of car people.
I highly recommend that you search out some of these local car shows in your community, bring your car, join in, and have a great time. Also, check out my book at; "Grab Some Gears" .
