A Houston Mustang Club Leader Explains Why They Cruise So Much

A car club is only as fun as the miles you actually drive, and Richard Jones proves it. We talk with the president of the Mustang Club of Houston about how an 80-member group keeps the calendar full, from casual Saturday cruises to bigger road trips and national Mustang gatherings. He shares what it’s like leading a club when “nobody else wants the job,” plus the simple systems that keep things moving without bogging everyone down.Richard also gets specific about his own ride: a 2020 Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L that’s been lightly modified for extra punch. We dig into why a four-cylinder Mustang can still deliver real performance, why fuel economy matters when you rack up serious annual mileage, and how club cruises like their drive toward Blessing, Texas turn a normal weekend into something you look forward to.Then we shift gears into Houston driving destinations built for date night, including Captain Foxheart’s Bad News Bar & Spirit Lounge, Beetlejuice Betelgeuse, La Carafe, Axelrad Beer Garden, and Little Dipper Bar. Jeff follows with a Texas cruise-in and events calendar, and we close out with auto history and headlines, including AI tools in car buying and why hybrids are getting harder to find on dealer lots.If you like real car people, local events, and smarter ways to enjoy the drive, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave us a review.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
