    I believe based on our Event rules that because it was sponsored and at commercial location it isn't allowed unless a FCA event, Sponsor, or they work out marketing agreement with us. FerrariChat would get overrun with people just spamming us with commercial events although they don't participate otherwise.

    Houston is really lacking in car meets, so it sucks to see them removed from public view....

    Shawn is a friend and actually use to work for FerrariChat, I explained it to him. He works for the host and it is a commercial event with sponsors that aren't FerrariChat sponsors, so spam. Shawn also doesn't participate on FerrariChat otherwise lately. I talked to him about it, there are options that don't cost anything.

    Hmm, seems like there are meets every weekend? Granted, a lot of them aren't super interesting.

    Do you have a list? I went looking after my post and there wasn't much of anything I could see for the exotic car fan. They have that one show occasionally in the Woodlands, would be a 90 min drive each way.

    Not really, sorry. I just sort of find them on Facebook and via friends. It may be we're looking for different types of shows, too. I love Catalina Coffee on Sundays. But if you're looking for exotics, that's probably not the place to be. Personally, I'm not real into exotics, I prefer classics and unique stuff.

    Here's one group to look into: https://www.thecarculture.org/

    Fca San Antonio has great drives and events every weekend.


    Does fca Houston hold/sponsor drives events meets?
    im finding a serious lack of f car community here in Houston. Perhaps it’s super secret here.

    FCA events don’t help us slugs that can’t afford Ferraris :(

    Cue the sad violin music....

    I used to live in SA and you are right, they are very active. Probably because of the hill country and great roads just a few miles away.

    ….unlike other car clubs, you do not have to own a Ferrari to be a member, you just need to be in enthusiast and brand ambassador!

    You should join, there are more events now than ever happening all over Texas, even in Houston!
