In its simplest form, "car meets" can be described as gatherings by car
enthusiasts and street racers alike with the sole purpose of taking
their passions into the public eye. This can often mean something like a
large abandoned parking lot, a sizeable location they specifically asked
for permission to use, or other locations that are known to be car
enthusiast-friendly where they are welcomed. While some car meets may
involve street racing, many meets may recommend not to race at all
during the meets.
