All the little kids would just be having fun and happy to be around cars. What I really thought was cool was the fact the amount of people this events would bring together. People of all ages just hanging out. After joining this group feel like I became more involved with the community. Which I think is good because I made a lot of friends. I think this group has helped me in a lot of good ways. A lot of members told me a career out my love for cars and I did. Now I’m going to be graduating this year as a master technician for general motor. In fact my social network increase thanks to this group and now I have a job because one of the members recommend me and I hired. So joining this group has done nothing but good to
