Thanks for the feedback. The closest local chapter to me would be southeast as there doesn’t seem to be an active local chapter in the Washington DC region.I don’t mean to speak negatively of them as I am a member, but I get nothing out of it. I am in the Pacific Northwest where there is not a local chapter so my thoughts on the matter are painted as such. There are other geographies where they probably have active and fun groups. They make an attempt to send some swag every year, and that is appreciated, but so far I’ve got nothing out of it.
I hate to mention it on this forum, but I am an active member in the Pacific Northwest region of the Ferrari club of America. I have never owned a Ferrari, but let me tell you that is a fun group to belong to and I have gotten much enjoyment from it, and many friends. That said, in those geographies where the Lamborghini club is active I can only imagine how much fun it would be. You might look into your local club and ask around.
How exactly does the parts discount work? I simply show the membership card to my local exotic or Lamborghini dealer and they offer a discount?I was a member for years. I dropped out because of what DiabloClyde said. I was paying all of that money for a couple magazines and a fancy membership card.
It has perks, but you have to be in the right places at the right times.
-I got a significant discount on parts and service when I got my engine rebuild at Evans Auto.
-My quicksilver exhaust had a healthy club member discount.
-It is a good way to learn of events and gatherings around the world.
-Without question, the biggest perks were when I went to Monterey for car week. Special events, Special guests, SWAG, discounts, club shuttle, club parking and lots of special treatment.
After a week in Monterey, the price of membership felt like a steal. Staying at home for a couple years, it felt like a waste of money..... If you want to go to events and club meets, it is well worth it.
I am not a member but, the Lambo club in Dallas is very active. I see stuff on FB and see them at various Lambo Dallas events.I wondered the same thing about the Club in Central Texas but was hesitant to join especially with this COVID stuff. If the local club only hands out fancy membership cards and some marginally useful magazines I probably will pass.
That's good to know. Though, I am hoping to find something a little closer to the Georgetown/Austin area. I will contact the president of the club and see what info/recommendations he can provide.I am not a member but, the Lambo club in Dallas is very active.
