Clubs
A big part of car modifications are car clubs or groups. These car clubs are composed of many different types of car enthusiast, making up the culture of the car "scene." Usually these car clubs will meet weekly at a specific location and at a specific time. These meets are usually pretty friendly and open to any car enthusiast. Sometimes these meets attract the attention of the local police force but as long as the people at the meet do not do anything they are not supposed to the police will leave everyone alone. Most of these car clubs are composed of just a few friends who have modified their cars to the way they like them and some clubs go out and beyond to try and get sponsorships from large aftermarket companies to support their car tuning. Clubs often attend national shows throughout the country. There are thought to be over 100 car clubs in the UK and probably more than double that amount in the United States where the popular film "The Fast and the Furious" have impacted the car "scene" the most.

Famous quotes containing the word clubs:
“Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
“Neighboring farmers and visitors at White Sulphur drove out occasionally to watch ‘those funny Scotchmen’ with amused superiority; when one member imported clubs from Scotland, they were held for three weeks by customs officials who could not believe that any game could be played with ‘such elongated blackjacks or implements of murder.’”
—For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“We shall exchange our material thinking for something quite different, and we shall all be kin. We shall all be enfranchised, prohibition will prevail, many wrongs will be righted, vampires and grafters and slackers will be relegated to a class by themselves, stiff necks will limber up, hearts of stone will be changed to hearts of flesh, and little by little we shall begin to understand each other.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
