The automotive enthusiasm landscape is evolving beyond traditional car shows, embracing diverse forms of entertainment and community engagement. From prestigious concours events to innovative YouTube content and exclusive car storage solutions, the automotive culture continues to find new ways to celebrate the passion for vehicles while building stronger connections among enthusiasts.

The automotive lifestyle is expanding beyond traditional events, with the car condo concept gaining significant traction among enthusiasts. These facilities offer more than just vehicle storage, providing clubhouse memberships, man caves, track day access, and a sense of community for automotive aficionados [5]. The intersection of car culture and entertainment continues to evolve, as exemplified by Grammy-nominated country group Old Dominion's integration of automotive themes into their music [6].
Safety remains a crucial consideration at automotive events, with recent incidents highlighting the importance of proper precautions during car shows and gatherings [7]. This has led to increased awareness and enhanced safety measures at events across the country.
