There are those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.
What a great quote! I never heard that one before.

Funny you mention yacht clubs. I'm a Past Commodore of one. I rose through the flags and spent a year as Commodore. It was a ton of work and responsibility . The only benefit was a reserved parking space. I even signed for a half-million dollar loan as Commodore. It was a serious committment to keep everything running smooth. Truthfully, I'm glad I did it but would not want to do it again.

Back to the car club concept... I attend a few cruise nights during the weekday summer nights. I see many old buddies there and we talk about the "old days". We had some great times. It's usually the same people that attend and not that many of them are members of a specific "car club". They show up on their own because they love to view all the classic cars and possibly show their own machine.

Last year I was involved with a charity raffle/classic car show where we raffled off 5 Harleys and 2 Shelby Cobra Mustangs. We already have one Shelby ready for this year's raffle and I'm trying to convince the person in charge to purchase the SRT8 Challenger as the second vehicle. What a great prize that would be to see in your driveway.

Should we skip the club designation and just wing it? I imagine they must still offer "Lone Wolf No Club" plates for cars. How many of you remember those?
