CarLink is for drivers. Find car shows happening this weekend, plot drives worth the gas, and connect with the local crews who actually show up. SHOWS A live map of cars-and-coffees, cruise-ins, and concours within driving distance. Filter by category — JDM, exotics, European, hot rods, muscle, classics, trucks and 4x4, lowriders. Tap a show to RSVP, see who else is going, and get directions in Apple or Google Maps. ROUTES Build your own drive — pick the start, the waypoints, the end. Save it, share it with the group, and schedule a meet-up. Other drivers can RSVP to your route the same way they RSVP to a show. No more group-chat coordination. GROUPS Local car clubs that meet, drive, and post together. Find one near you, join the conversation, get pinged when the club schedules a cruise. Owners can post updates, send invites, and run the chat from inside the app. COMMUNITY Photos from the meet you went to last night. Stories that disappear in 24 hours. Posts from people you follow. Tag a friend in your shot, credit the photographer, mention the show. No algorithm picking winners. GARAGE A built-in spec sheet for every car you own — make, model, modifications, photos. Show off your build. See what other people are working on. WHY WE BUILT IT We got tired of showing up to cancelled meets. Tired of Facebook groups with five new posts and forty new ads. Tired of finding out about the best cars-and-coffee in town three weeks too late. So we made the thing we wished existed. The shows are real. The drives are real. The people are real. CarLink is built and maintained by CarLink HQ LLC out of Atlanta, GA. We're a small team and we use the app ourselves every weekend. Questions, ideas, bug reports: support@carlinkhq.com.
