Car meets have long been a staple of GTA Online. It's about setting beef to the side and pulling up in a head-turning ride that's the envy of everyone you park next to.
Those committed to the craft can often be seen hanging out on Grove Street, outside LS Customs, down at the docks or anywhere else there's enough tarmac to tear up. As we gear up for the launch of GTA Online: Los Santos Tuners, we take a look at some of some of the most dedicated and exclusive car meet Crews in the GTA Online community. We're looking forward to seeing what these creative Crews get up to at the LS Car Meet on July 20.
GANGSTANCE is a prolific car meet Crew celebrating their fifth anniversary this year. Over those five years, they've staged countless gatherings and tricked out hundreds of cars while sharing videos, photos and recaps of their events. Keep an eye on the Crew's Twitter for a ton of scenic in-game photography from their meets and quality content curated by their members.
Beyond the obvious obsession with cars, creativity is the lifeblood of the car meet community, and Meets After Dark are no exception. This invite-only Crew challenges its members to think outside the box before driving to the spot: their meet themes range wildly, from a celebration of the vibrantly colorful at their Cuban Car Culture-themed gathering to soccer mom SUVs, and a little bit everything else in between.
The Flush Family's car meets are an institution hosted by car enthusiast and YouTuber Hella Flush, who has led a veritable army of likeminded gearheads since 2017. Highlights of the meets include a Best of Show competition, where members vote in a series of knockout stages for the finest Los Santos Customs job in the spot. Interested in joining up? Rules for joining Hella Flush's crew can be found on their website.
The VIP Social Club stands for the crème de la crème of GTA Online's car meet community. This bunch's aesthetic is informed by luxury, exclusivity and wealth, but don't get it twisted: they're known to turn up in a fleet of candy-colored low-riders too. Pulling up to the lot in a fleet of souped-up supercars is just the icing on the cake.
Led by Rasthegamer, their meets are streamed every Monday at 9pm and Wednesday at 11pm Eastern Time on Facebook, where you'll also find more photos and content from their meets.
Netherlands-based crew GTA Car Lifestyle is all about clean and realistic custom jobs, cruising around in lavish supercars, and posting up next to a certified classic sportscars on the boardwalk at Vespucci Beach. Truthfully, it's a lifestyle that we can get behind. The Crew hosts one to two car meets per week, you can find more about joining via their Instagram.
This crew is relatively new, having only been established for little over a year, but MobWorks have quickly made a name for themselves for chill meets and a fun social media presence that's caught our attention on a number of occasions.
