What exactly is the point of getting half a dozen eclipse owners together to go for a drive around town?
Sure it might be a good way to meet people, but I can probably think of a few better ways to meet people with more similar interests than "Hey we bought the same car".

I guess you don't love your car then
Really, I believe the root of all this is the animal instinct to be part of a pack and in this day and age of social isolation and anomie, you got to group around something. Why not cars or bikes? Why form clubs are all? Heck why are we on Calgarypuck just because "Hey, we are fans of the same team?" It's called having a shared interest and enthusiasm. What are your better ways of meeting people? Throwing them all in a bar with nothing to talk about? Why do people often invariably talk about sports in a bar? Because they want something similar that they are enthusiastic about that they know they can talk about.
By your same logic, being a hockey fan is a stupid thing because this is just the same phenomenon.
I'll let my friend know about this Eclipse get together.
