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:
“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)
“The true reformer does not want time, nor money, nor coöperation, nor advice. What is time but the stuff delay is made of? And depend upon it, our virtue will not live on the interest of our money. He expects no income, but outgoes; so soon as we begin to count the cost, the cost begins. And as for advice, the information floating in the atmosphere of society is as evanescent and unserviceable to him as gossamer for clubs of Hercules.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
