When 3 Mercedes Benz enthusiasts met at a Gapplebee's event in 2018, the idea of a Sarasota Mercedes Benz car club was conceived.  A Facebook page was created and along with some good old fashioned networking, the Sarasota Benz Crew was born. Years later we realized many of our members also drove a BMW, Porsche or Audi. In 2023 the SBC evolved into the Sarasota German Car Club.
