At Driving While Awesome!, we believe the best part of car culture is getting out and enjoying it with like-minded enthusiasts. From our multi-day driving rallies on some of the best roads around to our monthly Morning Motors gatherings in Santa Cruz, our events are all about great cars, great roads, and even better people.
Whether you're joining us for a weekend adventure, grabbing coffee at a local car meet, or hanging out with fellow enthusiasts, there's always something awesome happening in the DWA! community.
