The Auto Social: Guest Guide
1. The Heart of the Social:
While the vehicles display the work, the chairs host the neighborhood. Every ride has a story, and every story belongs here — and you’re the one who brings it to life.
2. The Open Seat:
An empty chair is never just a seat — it’s an invitation. If you’ve got an extra, set it out. You never know who might take a moment to sit and share their journey.
3. The Welcome Sign:
Hoods up, doors open — it’s the sign of welcome. If you’re comfortable, open things up and let people peek into the heart of your ride.
4. Shared Space:
Coolers, snacks, and tailgate vibes are part of the culture. If you brought something extra, share it. Community grows quickest when people break bread — or crack open a cold drink — together. (NO ALCOHOL)(NO COOKING)
5. The Respectful Return:
We’re guests here, and good guests leave a place better than they found it. Pack out what you pack in so this neighborhood of wheels and stories can keep coming back.
6. The Friendly Wanderer:
Your chair won’t get lonely — go explore. Half the magic of a social is wandering the loop.
7. The Respectful Look:
Look with appreciation, not with hands.
8. Show up as-is:
Whether it’s a daily driver to a six-figure exotic, you have a place at our show. We expect all participants to treat one another with respect, regardless of the year, make, model, or condition of their vehicle.
9. The For‑Sale Friendly Zone:
Got a ride you’re ready to pass on to its next chapter? This is the place to do it. Whether it’s a project you’ve outgrown, a dream car you’re making room for, or a daily that deserves a new driveway, you’re welcome to display it here.
This is a social gathering meant for connecting, and enjoying the cars and the people behind them.
Thank you for helping create a welcoming, community‑focused vibe for all attendees. Looking forward to a great time together.
The Auto Social:
Every car has a story — and every story is welcome. Come tell yours.
