Unlocking Unlimited Joy: The Thriving No-Boundaries Car Community Enthusiasts Join

The Power of Community: How One Man is Bringing Diversity to the Car World

In the world of cars, it’s not uncommon to feel like an outsider. But what if you could find a community that understood you, where you could share your passion for cars with people who looked like you? For Rashod Bacon, that community didn’t exist – until he created it.

Breaking Down Barriers

Bacon, a passionate car collector, started Motoring While Black to connect people of color within the car community. What he found surprised him. Instead of a lack of interest in cars, he discovered that many people of color were already enthusiasts, but they were separated into different groups that rarely overlapped or networked.

A Platform for Inclusion

Bacon’s platform is about more than just cars – it’s about community, culture, and chasing dreams. He believes that by sharing his own experiences, he can inspire others to pursue their passions, regardless of their background.

A Personal Journey

Born in South Central Los Angeles, Bacon’s love for cars ebbed and flowed throughout his life. From his childhood fascination with ’64 Impalas to his current interest in vintage BMWs, his tastes have evolved over the years. His personal collection includes a Volkswagen GTI, a Porsche 911, and a Ford Mustang Shelby GT350.

A Vintage BMW 1600

Bacon’s latest acquisition is a 1969 BMW 1600, which he purchased despite its rough condition. After an engine swap and various underbelly updates, the car is now a daily driver in Los Angeles. Bacon shares his experience to inspire others, saying, "If you want it, you can get it."

The Hope is to Inspire

For Bacon, Motoring While Black is about breaking down barriers and showing that anyone can pursue their passion for cars, regardless of their background. He hopes to inspire others to do the same, saying, "There’s not that much mystique around it. If you want it, you can get it."
