what does CLUB mean to you?

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by nvr53my club means everything to me .there isnt a person in my club that knows in a time of need there is help just a phone call away . we kind got off on a tangent though,i think couto was more interisted in what it is to be in a club .what makes it special what is it that keeps you together .is it freindship ,building trucks ,shows ,family.what makes you keep coming back .for me its 100% the freindships .---------------------------------------------

you said it friendship thats exactly it

For the most part within the scene there's a bond between us all due to our vehicles. As this is the way in most all automotive culture. In *NO REGRETS* our bond relies on trust, respect and friendship. It's our way of life. The way we want to live.

Im not in any mainstream clubs but I have friends close or closer than I could ever ask for in a club. I can remember numerous times these friends have helped me out in unfortunate situations. I can remember one time I blew a bag at the pavillions in Scottsdale and a good friend of mine drove all the way from Queen creek (about an hour+ each way) just to bring me a bag. Among this, my friends from Another Dimension and Ground Dwellers stuck around up until my truck was back on the ground and aired up till they left. These people are more than just a friend or a club member to me. They are like family and I'd do anything for them, and I also try to carry on their example and help out my fellow mini truckers anyway I can.

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by lilrob 63thanks corey i would try to help every one that is just how i am... this post is not to bash on any one it is just to say how are trip went and what went down... as for my club they are awesome cause when i burned a hole in my air line while dragging they all came over to help and also thanks to all the othere that asked and offered to help...

--------------------------------------------- I would hope someone came over from our camp to offer assistance. By the time I got back to camp you had already had the car all the way up in the air (bitchen airbag jack by the way!!) I know as soon as I got to WCN on Friday Mouses truck from Phoenix was up on jackstands.. I was like wtf? I guess someone from another club got a flat so Mouse let him use his wheels to go get the truck to safety and repair it... cool way to start off a great weekend! I would hope everyone would stop for each other... Thats one major thing that sets this sport apart from other car enthusiasts sports, is the brotherhoods and bonds we ALL share with each other...

the reason i didnt mention any name when i started this post is because i didnt know the whole story of the other sitiuations they were just examples and parts of the exuses i heard so it wasnt to blast any club so by putting your name you blasted yourself i was just wondering how people felt and what their club means to them

mates

friendship, comradery, respect, dedication and as a whole making what we do, just that much better for the next generation just getting started.  drove to a show about an hour from home with a few friends, weather forcast was clear, I have no wipers. Rain suddenly comes from no where as show is ending. Guy I just met takes a wiper off his truck and gives it to me so i can make it home. Also, don't be a big pile of crap when somebody, who obviously is very curious about how you built this or that comes up and wants to ask you questions because, well they are looking for ideas and advice. I wouldn't have the know-how and the ability to continually learn if my peers hadnt taken the time to explain things to me. 

first off, i would like to apologize in advance to the OP and anyone in this thread representing their club, this is not a bash, or meant to be "internet gangstering" this is me taking up for my club, my friends, my family.   ---------------------------------------------Originally posted by Bagd_Civic93I was in a club called relentless and my compressor cracked a head and all my air was leaving the tank and the car was already riding low then it pancaked and the president had a car trailer and a few extra compressors and he didnt help at all. Fairwell asshole we will see who helps you when you need it. (Relentless prez) --------------------------------------------- i am the president and founder of relentless minds. i never received a call or text or anything. EVER. so, you must be referring to the vice president. the vice president who, 20 minutes after you called, came down to shelby farms, let you borrow his compressor (his one and only, off of his mini) to hook up and get you home. but let me ask you this: whose driveway did you drop your civic in? whose fittings and switches are in this civic? who opened up their house for you or your brother to sleep in whenever you were too tired or too drunk to drive home? since he didnt help you at all. let me ask you this? how did the car get home? did you not decide to scrape your logo in the 20 minutes it took chris to get where you were? that means, that instead of worrying about getting your vehicle home, you were worried about scraping a logo and leaving a club. but, guess what, chris stil let you borrow his compressor to get home, even after you scraped the logo. and that aint being a club, that's being a true minitrucker.  dont EVER badmouth relentless again. we were nothing but hospitable and accepting of you. find some class, and quit spreading negativity anywhere you can hide behind a computer screen.  

club means:

sitting in a parking lot in the rain for three hours BS'ing about upcoming shows and whats going on with who evers truck and when you can show up to help

driving out to the middle of freakin no where to help build your boys truck every night for three months straight

lving in fear of being shot with a bb gun while your under the rear of a civic trying to figure out how to get the trailing arm to allow that 20 to suck in the fender

not getting paid for either of those and going just for the love of building sick rides

late night beer cans covered in metal dust

grab bag closets full of old air parts

telling your neighbor hood association to go fuck them selves when they send you a letter saying they are gonna put a lien on your house for your boys bd nissan thats been sitting in the drive way in pieces for 6 months because he couldnt keep it at his house

filling up the parking lot of your apartment complex with bagged rides and partying on a thursday night before a show and all your neighbors have finals in the morning

getting frisked on the hood of your boys car while the cops are all lined up to try out the massage seats in the backseat

not realizing that you and your best friends have randomly built 30 bagged vehicles

late nights drunk at waffle house

hungover mornings at bojangles

loaning your boys four valves off your truck and re plumbing your ride just so they can go to the show with a bagged truck as well

loaning the wheels and tires off your daily to your boy for an hpde event since his hadnt shown up yet from UPS

driving your boy's truck to the show with him in the passenger seat because he spent he whole morning throwing up in the shower

blowing a bag and driving 45minutes back into town to pick up a spare being followed by more bagged rides and getting stopped in a checkpoint

driving twelve hours to florida packed in a tahoe for blood drag, waking up in SC at a fireworks depot and spending the weekend at the Scottish inn

waking up in your hotel room with a midget walking past the end of the bed and yourr club member next to you swearing he didnt do anything with her

50cc pit bike races in the cul de sac

building a truck in what could only be described as the mosquito breeding ground of the united states

convincing your club members WD-40 works better than OFF and watching them freak out when the burn sets in

the number 7 and shin kicks

driving two and a half hours to help some one in another club lay out the front of there truck because you had nothing better to do that day



this may not be what club means to other people but its what it means to me

CLUBS ARE FOR SEALS.... just sayin.
