Welcome to our Great Autos community.
Here is the scoop; To be a member you don’t have to be LGBT. Believe it or not, you don’t even have to own a car!! You don’t have to live in So Cal. Domestic, foreign, all makes, all years, classes, and genres. Whatever turns you on. We welcome ALL. Here’s the catch to being a member….You must be car crazy or a car nut. You must be totally obsessed or just plain addicted to cars. If you happen to be a secret or a shy car admirer, Great Autos will make you come out of the garage….and into the streets!
Steven Aaron Schwartz, President 2022.
A whole new era of Great Autos is coming in just about 3 weeks!!! At that time, we will introduce our new website and membership management system based on ClubExpress. Please read about it in the Solenoid this month. It will have many new features and allow you to manage your membership and profile directly, including photos of yourself and your cars!
Because we are moving all the data from both this current website and our membership database (which has been PC-based for decades), it will take some time to get the data converted and migrated over to the new system. For this reason, we will be unable to process Online Renewals between November 5 and November 18. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. It WILL be worth the wait!
More information will be communicated via email and this bulletin area over the next 3 weeks. Please stay tined as we approach this exciting event!
