River City Rippers

Located in Louisville, KY, River City Rippers started with a car enthusiast and his wish to be around like-minded car nuts during the pandemic. It has evolved into a club with over 1600 members locally. Connect with us on FB to get updates on the Louisville/S. Indiana car scene. The most up-to-date information will be found there for monthly meet-ups at various Cars & Coffee events around the city; Quarterly cruises down backroads, and the annual Cars in the Commons Car show benefitting local charities.
