🚘 Spring Fling Car Thing at Wild Things Collective

Join the Great Northern Region for our Spring Fling Car Thing — a favorite early-season tradition and one of the few times we get something that feels a lot like our own private car show. We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Wild Things (our third year running!) for another day of classic cars, community, and vintage style.

This event gives our members a special chance to gather in one place, show their cars, welcome guests, and enjoy a setting that feels both club-centered and open to the public. Whether you’re showing a vehicle or just coming to take it all in, it’s one of the most distinctly GNR days of the season.
