Everything you guys are saying here rings true. From my perspective, the moment a bunch of people with the same hobby try to turn it into an Association with a hierarchy and administration is often when it stops being as much fun and becomes more like work. It's also where some of the biggest benefits can come as well. You get nice publications, well-organized events, knowledge sharing and so on.

I guess what it boils down to is what each of us want from the hobby. Many of us just want to enjoy our cars and are happy to share the experience with strangers and fellow owners in a casual way. I joined PI in part because there were no formal meetings and yet there was/is a great magazine and great camaraderie between members on the forum. I have made some great friends here in both a virtual and real sense. No bureaucracy, no executive to vote for and all worth the price of membership.
