About MOTOR Austin
Mission
The mission of MOTOR Austin is to inform, celebrate and promote
the auto enthusiast culture and related businesses in the greater Austin area.
How do we manifest the mission? We list your events, businesses,
car nights and carclubs.
We also dig, scour and scrounge for local history, because what
can be found is scattered all over kingdom come.
We're also zealous for American history and American iron,
so we tend to favor American made, old and new, red, white and blue.
Our History
MOTOR Austin was created in October 2005 as a personal project
to centralize and organize the many interesting Austin area
car shows, hot rod events, car clubs and businesses that
directly or indirectly support the culture of hot rods,
street rods, muscle cars, classic cars, customs, and american
sports cars.
In early 2008 the site was rebranded as we shifted efforts from other
projects to focus on MOTOR Austin. We caught the vision, and
created our mission.
MOTOR Austin is Growing!
MOTOR Austin is growing! Below are graphs of our unique visitor stats for 2010
and 2009. MOTOR Austin went from peak monthly high of 2100 unique visits
in 2009 to a peak of 6200 in 2010!
The positive monthly and yearly growth is great news for us because it means that our
improvements in informative local listings and social connections are continuing to pay off.
If you are a business that is listed on our Austin business page, our growth is
especially good news for you too! If you are not listed on our business
page, then we ask you, why not?
Note: The first three months in 2009 are missing due to moving servers.
Join Us
We hope you catch the vision of MOTOR Austin! We believe Austin
is a hot spot for growth in hot rodding and related industries and artists.
We also think Austin has a culture of creativity and openness that
we enjoy and we seek to preserve and promote it!
You are invited to join the movement! If you know of a car club, business,
car night, event, artist, builder, etc, that is not listed here, then send us

We also, want to celebrate Austin's past! If you have been around Austin
for a while and have any pictures from your hot rodding youth days, then
please email us the pics and descriptions and we will post them
in a special Austin Hot Rodding Past section.
