I don,t know how your experiences might have gone, in the past but,
Ive been a member of several car clubs
the over all experience has its good and less than memorable moments.
many members of many clubs seem to assume that other members with skills and experience should be willing to help work on their cars,
but they are harder to find than an honest politician if you suggest they help work on your car,
even if you just spent weeks helping them on their car project.
This is mostly due to the fact theres various types of people,
theres frequently a small core of knowledgable and skilled people,
who rapidly learn there's,
a slightly larger group of people who are very willing to have other skilled people,
work on their cars for free or much lower cost than local dealer charge,
theres also the even larger group that like car shows road trips and regular meeting,s
at some local hot spot for dinner and drinks,
or sitting on lawn chairs drinking beer and talking about the cars they own or used too own.
these guys may have a nice car, but they seldom if ever drive it from what I see, these cars tend to get waxed and put back in the home garage, far more often than driven.
then theres both male and female MRS CRAVITS CLONES
who feel its mandated they keep track of what everyone in the club is doing,
so they can comment on it , but not get involved in any other way.
then there are the advantages you may be looking for ..
theres the few skilled and knowledgable guys with contacts with vendors and machine shops.
these few guys make putting up with the majority of members,
who might be otherwise best avoided.
many of these guys have good info and contacts with machine shops and other members,
who have hundreds of hard to locate parts or donor cars,
this factor alone can at times be a huge help,
and your only way to get help or find difficult to locate parts or donor cars.
what have your experiences been??
