I have pretty much been accepted into the Xplicit Impressions car club
www.xicc.net around my area, which also has chapters in Washington and Cali. But...i'm having second thoughts. I met the leader and he has quite a few requirements:
-Attend two big shows, such as NOPI or HIN in St. Louis
-Must have 3 BIG modifications to the car, wheels being one of the 3 unless your oem ones are in perfect shape. But he only counts I/H/E as 1.5 of those things!
-Your car has to be in show ready shape all the time, b/c of the club decal i'll soon be sporting.
Basically I got in b/c I have plans of wheels, CF hood, and projectors. But.....I still am in HS, and I am looking for another job, and I dont think, well I know my parents wouldnt let me go to HIN or NOPI. So yeah, idk what I am gonna do.
Anyways, the guy has a REALLY nice Eclipse (not the ricey kind), with a nice turbo and hood, then he has a civic thats modified, and Yamaha road bike and a Eagle Talon that was on jacks in pretty crumby shape. But I could tell he spends all his money on his cars....
I guess i'll probably "offically" join when I have my mods and am in college[&:].

 

Okay I'm going to play devils advocate here but what do you gain from joining? Why would you want to maintain your car in a very specific manner and wash/clean it all the time for a sticker on your car? I'm not saying don't do it I'm just playing devils advocate and asking why you would do it...

 

I agree wit Sir Nasty on this, I belong to a premire car club myself and I dont ever have to even care what my car looks like..and I have a really sweet sticker from the club...my son's club president!

However I used to belong to the FOC - UK, they did not expect anything of the sort. Just a £75/annum fee

 

I dont know. I really want to share my enthusiasm with other people about cars. No one around my school really understands the car world, so being with dudes + dudettes that do seems cool to me.

 

Plus if we were to cruise around, that seems really fun to me. And there arent any annual dues or anything.

 

Dang, so many rules! I didn't realize how many there were to join a car club. Hope it's worth it.

 

Yeah! I was surprised to find out there were that many rules as well. Oh well.

 

So does being in "show ready shape" mean your car always has to be washed and detailed? Because thats a lot of washing during the rainy season, when you car gets dirty every time you drive it lol.

 

haha I am not to sure! Oh well, even if its not, the worst is that I would get kicked out which is highly unlikely. Besides, I already have the decals on and my car is a muddy mess! hehe Plus his modified Civic was clean on the outside, but the inside was...not so much. But his Eclipse was def. show ready!

Want to know the funny thing?! I saw the guy for the second time last night......getting pulled over in his Civic! I was like, hey I know him! And he was about 8 blocks from his house.
