East Coast RX7 Owners Facebook

I'd consider joining but I absolutely HATE Facebook. I'm also an older dude, and at 51, eons older than RedR1

Maybe that's why I hate Facebook so much.

Anyway, have you guys heard of Meetup.com? I was thinking of starting up a Rotary owner's & driver's club on there. I'm on a couple of local car clubs on there that are non-marque specific. These are basically folks with sports cars that get together for local spirited drives, road trips and other auto related get togethers.

Nice thing about Meetup is you get all the good features of a social networking site without having to throw away your privacy or get inundated with "friend requests" from people you don't know or want to know like you do on FB. Down side is whoever creates a meetup group has to pay a yearly fee for the site, but it's cheap, and costs are easily recovered by charging group members a few bucks each per year, assuming you have at least a dozen or so members or more. Otherwise, meetup.com is free to use.
