    As you will see in this video, Dustin Troyan - President of SuperCar Sunday Car meets, Motor4Toys Car Shows, Connected Media Group, and Driven World magazine is pretty passionate about getting the word out to participants of car events. All of us that have organized a car event know there's always someone that won't respect the rules and eventually someone will get hurt.

    Each year, during the holidays Car Clubs and organizations reach out to GearHeads across America to help those in need during the holidays. Charity car events are quite common throughout the year; however, the holidays are cold and lonely for so many. There's no doubt that GearHeads know how to rev-it-up for those in need.

    An important charity event that we recently attended was the Ventura County Coachmen's 3rd Annual Food Drive and Cruise at Islands Restaurant in Newbury Park held Nov 19, 2011 from 4:00 - 6:00pm. The Coachmen hold charity events throughout the year including two holiday events - this Food Drive benefiting MANNA and a Toy Drive, which will be held on Dec 10th. The Coachmen events are normally held during daylight, but since this was a special event, they brought some lights and lit-up the parking lot so we could see all the cool cars on display. A large-sized MANNA delivery truck was onsite to collect non-perishable food for MANNA recipients.
