A Mercedes Benz owner's group is hardly the best venue to ask about this kind of thing, but you are probably on the right track.

Art gallery receptions, wine tastings, poetry or book readings, interesting charity gtgs, a yoga class, historical society meetings, city or nature walks, adult education classes, that are not strictly pick up venues, where you could learn something no matter what, are likely the better way.

It's about shared interests.

The only thing you would have in common meeting people in bars and clubs is that you both drink.
