What is Cars and Chai about?

Cars and Chai is a family-friendly, Islamic-oriented car community built on respect, connection, and inclusivity. We create welcoming spaces where enthusiasts of all backgrounds can come together, enjoy their passion for cars, and build meaningful relationships—rooted in values, community, and meaningful connection.

About a year and a half ago, I (Yasin) ran into my down-the-street neighbor, Mansoor, at a local restaurant in Tracy. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into a shared vision—to bring youth and people from all walks of life together around a common purpose rooted in cars and Islam. Since then, we’ve intentionally built and nurtured a community that is welcoming, inclusive, and reflective of the values we strive to live by every day.

Our goal is to foster a community through recurring events that highlight the positive values of Islam, celebrate our shared passion for cars, and uplift the communities we’re a part of. We proudly welcome everyone—regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or background—to come together, share in this passion, and learn more about who we are and what we stand for.
