About

The Junky Car Club is an official car club whose members are learning to live with less so they can give more. We're a bunch of happy drivers who are politely rebelling against consumerism by driving junky cars. We encourage our members to use their dough to support social justice causes instead of making fat car payments. Junky Car Club members sponsor kids through Compassion International and help other great organizations. We believe in environmental stewardship and hanging onto things a little longer.

We live in a culture that often teaches our self worth and value is in our possessions. The world tells us that spending, buying, and financing things we can't afford is the path to happiness. The Junky Car Club believes that an individual's value comes in helping and serving others and it champions the not-so-radical concept of living within your means. Members of the club are encouraged to drive older vehicles that are paid for, so that they can give their money to those who are in need.

History

The Junky Car Club was established in the spring of 2006 when Mike Foster decided to sell his fully loaded Infiniti G35 sports car to drive a junky 1993 Toyota Camry. As an act of rebellion against consumerism and with the desire to give more to worthy causes, Mike began to enlist his friends and associates to join him in this experiment of driving with less and giving more. The Junky Car Club has signed up members in the US, Australia, Russia, England, New Zealand, Scotland and Singapore. So if you're passionate about social justice causes and are committed to living a generous life, the Junky Car Club wants you. Membership is free and open to everyone.
