A Guide to Car Meets

Car meets are a staple of the automotive community, and while they're straightforward affairs for the most part, there are a few guidelines you should be aware of.

"Car enthusiasts are really just nerds who decide that buying comics and building pc's weren't expensive enough hobbies"

Step 8: Don't mow over crowds with a Mustang

another unwritten rule for car meets in public places is "if it came in with you it leaves with you" in other words don't be the douche group who leaves 80-100 coffee cups, empty McDonalds bags and other crap around after the meet is finished keep the spot clean that is the only real reason ive seen people get kicked out of spots was because of the amount of trash that was left behind

another tip, look, dont touch respect the car even if it is a hoopdie.

6. Don't forget to take out an innocent bystander if you drive a Mustang

Don't be that guy revving and doing burn outs

[MagnificentlyHighAlien]

I once simply commented on a dude's modded r32 with 'nice r32 man', and he looked at me like I was some alien and said 'uh huh' and walked off.

It is so cool you guys address this topic. I can't tell you how important info like this is to young car enthusiasts. Keep up the amazing work guys! YouTube and the car world wouldn't be the same without you.

It sucks cause I'm the only kid along with my friend at my school who is into cars. It disappoints me.

Bro, this may be a bit weird but your voice is amazing. Made this video so much easier to watch

[joedepoyster]

Don't forget that it doesn't matter if you show up in a Rocket Bunny 458, or a stock Honda Civic; If you stay humble no matter what you are driving, you'll be able to meet some cool people!

Step 6: buy a holden and then deal with the people surrounding your car asking what it is

[XBlockAcah]

But wait .... Do you need a car to go to car meet?

Step 6: Don’t end up owing Dom a 10 second car

tried to attend a meet last night at a parking garage. as i'm pulling in, i get blue lights telling me to leave. they had gotten reports of burnouts on the roof.

0/10 great car meet.

This is soo helpful. This should be called how to get into a car scene. I can honestly relate to this. I went to my first Car meet last August And it was called "Sumospeed Night Moves" And it was the best experience ever. I didn't exactly make any friends cept for one guy, but the ability to be around other fellow car enthusiasts is a warming feeling since all I am usually around is "normal" people(since I was high schooler). I will honestly say, if you're not an outgoing person, go to a meet, and take pictures cuz some people like that attention and like it when your face just light up at the appearance of their car.

Step 6: Don't have depression or anxiety

Step 6: STOP walking in front of people taking pictures. 😩😩 As someone who photographs cars, I find it annoying when someone steps in front when I'm taking a photograph.
