If someone asks you online: Have you "FB (corruption)" today? Don't be surprised. Because "FB (corruption)" is now a special term commonly used on the Internet, it refers to a non-governmental organization formed by car owners or car lovers collectively traveling by car. They call themselves "FB elements", and some car owners will give their organization a fashionable name, such as "Pineapple Pie", indicating that the organization is all POLO car owners, and it is also like "Lion Club" ”, indicating that the group are all owners of Peugeot vehicles. Another example is that the fans of Bora will be called "Baozhilin", the fans of Beverly will be called "Fulian", the fans of Buick will be called "The Rangers" and so on. After they joined the club, they liked to use the club's online forum to organize weekend outings, dinner parties and other "FB activities".

As the number of people buying cars increases, Cheyouhui, as a medium and platform, plays more and more roles in our lives: to meet more friends, exchange ideas; with the help of riders The understanding of the car has been further improved, and I have quickly upgraded from a novice to a veteran who knows how to maintain and maintain; by participating in various FB activities, I can adjust my mood and spare time...

Perhaps in the near future, our greetings will become: " Which Cheyouhui are you from?"

Cheyouhui: Let me meet many new friends

Xiong has been very happy recently. Because he is getting married, the wedding will be held on May 2. What made him even happier was that the Saimeng Cheers Club specially organized an event to showcase the welcoming team for his wedding.

Big Bear bought Sail in November last year, and immediately joined the Shanghai branch of Sail. The full name of Sail is the Sail Lovers League Club, which is a non-governmental organization voluntarily organized by Sail car owners.

The Big Bears had seen the Aiqi Friends Club held a caravan welcoming event before. At that time, the scene of dozens of almost identical cars lining up in a long queue still makes them envious. At that time, they secretly decided in their hearts: When they get married, they must do this again. Therefore, after deciding on the wedding date, they immediately posted a call on the forum of the Shanghai branch of Saimeng, but they did not expect to receive enthusiastic support from the riders of Saimeng.

"The TXM (students) of Saimeng are all very good and eager to help." Da Xiong said, "Everyone heard our wish and signed up enthusiastically. On the first day, 30 cars decided to participate."

p>After joining Saimeng Shanghai Branch, Daxiong participated in many FB activities organized by Saimeng. Also met many good friends. This wedding was planned and called with a few friends from Saimeng. "Through the car club, I have met many friends from all walks of life. Everyone is very young, passionate and energetic. Driving the same car has brought us a common topic, and the distance has become much closer."

Now, everyone realizes the importance of personal connections, and the Che Youhui will provide you with an opportunity to expand your personal connections, which will also provide you with some good opportunities to get rich. According to Da Xiong, through the Che Youhui, he not only met many friends, but also met business partners through daily exchanges, and negotiated several transactions. "It's not uncommon."

Cheyou Club: Let me change from a rookie to a veteran

It has been more than a year since Zhang Ping joined the Shanghai Jockey Club. The Jockey Club is the nickname of the National Mazda 6 Car Club, whose members are all Ma 6 owners. With the passing of this year in the Cheyouhui, Zhang Ping has gradually changed from a novice who knows nothing about cars to a veteran who knows everything about cars. "There are a lot of veterans in the rider club, and there are also riders in the repair shop or 4S shop. I learned a lot from them."

After the car was bought home, I often encountered various small problems during the normal driving process. , Some problems are common small problems of this model, and some problems may be trivial problems, which can be solved by DIY under the guidance of veterans. And if you open a repair shop, you will definitely not be able to get out without a few hundred yuan once you enter. If once, Zhang Ping found that her car wiper blade vibrated and made noise. On the forum, the rider told her that this was a small problem, just use pliers to adjust the gap between the joints and the rubber sheet. Another time, Zhang Ping's car was not easy to start after washing the fuel injector. As a result, the riders in the forum told her that the residual cleaning liquid might have caused the high concentration of the mixture, and it would basically return to normal after two or three days of use. As a result, she was spared the "take advantage" of running the repair shop.

"In the beginning, when there was a problem, I would post a message on the forum to ask for help, and there would be a lot of acquaintances and unfamiliar riders to answer enthusiastically. Later, because I was familiar with it, I would call online for help directly. I don't know if I felt that I had become an old hand too, and I began to point out the same problems to those who were new to the club.” For example, when the car starts shaking in the morning: it is because the individual cylinders are not working well, the valves are not tightly closed, and they are running at high speed. You can also run for a while at high revs in 3rd or 4th gear, and the effect is the same. If the hot car does not shake but the gear shift is not smooth (hand gear), it may be that the fuel injection of the fuel injector is uneven and needs to be detected and cleaned.

In addition to these, Zhang Ping also learned a lot of basic knowledge about easy maintenance. For example, after buying a car or replacing a new light bulb, wipe the light bulb with alcohol to remove fingerprints and oil stains, thus prolonging the life of the light bulb. When the car is collided or scratched, the paint should be covered with transparent glue immediately. It is best to prepare a self-finishing paint by yourself to avoid rusting on the paint.

Cheyou Club: The most trouble-free self-driving tour

The biggest benefit of joining the Cheyouhui may be the various FB activities of the Cheyouhui. Through various activities, not only can you exercise your body, adjust your work status, but also deepen your relationship with your fellow riders.

In addition to organizing self-driving tours on weekends, there are also various gatherings or sports activities. For example, the Shanghai Jockey Club has regular sports activities every week, such as badminton on Wednesday, swimming on Thursday, and football on Saturday. And their highlight is naturally the FB activities during the two golden weeks of "May Day" and "November".

Preparation for a self-driving tour is very important. Vehicle inspection, route arrangement, hotel reservation, etc. are very cumbersome. And if you participate in the self-driving tour of the riders' association, you can save these links and just register with the riders' association. It's time to get on the road. The riders will prepare road books, maintenance equipment, book hotels, and even buy insurance. For example, during the "May 1st" Golden Week, the Bora Auto Club will travel by car in Zhejiang, and a team of 20 cars will be divided into 4 groups. In addition to providing the fleet with navigation vehicles and vehicle maintenance technicians to follow the fleet, the Cheyouhui also insures each member participating in the self-driving tour with the People's Insurance Company of China, with personal accident insurance of 60,000 yuan per person. And provide a total of 5 free car GPS units for each group to use.

Cheyou Club: Save money by group buying

Another benefit of joining a Cheyouhui is group buying. Almost every car club will regularly convene various group buying activities, from complete vehicles to spare parts, from auto insurance to maintenance and modification. The Cheyouhui group purchase has a greater advantage than the general group purchase, because they are all car owners of a certain brand model, so they occupy a more favorable position when negotiating with the manufacturer.

From May this year, the Jockey Club will organize a monthly group purchase of a special item, while the "Gao Zhaoban"_Gall Car Club has launched a group purchase of child seats. In addition, many car clubs have organized car insurance group buying activities. Through the agreement with the insurance company in the form of Che Youhui, you can enjoy the "group purchase price". The insured can usually get a discount of 20% to 30% from it.

It is understood that according to the size of the group purchase, the minimum premium of PICC can be reduced to 40%. In Dadi Property & Casualty Insurance, the same group, more than 10 people can enjoy the group purchase price of Dadi Auto Insurance. Generally speaking, the discount margin for retail car insurance is up to 10%, while the average discount margin for group purchase is 30%. Depending on the quality of the customer, the discount rate is also different. If the customer does not take out insurance once a year, the discount rate will increase, up to 50%.
