Favorite car community? (after this one of course)

I must confess that I do look at the Porsche 914 World site. Sort of feels like cheating with my '02.

So far the 912 people have been great.

No Chevette forum? I once even saw an AMC Gremlin group online.

Yeah, that's odd. There's even a semi-active forum for Datsun 320 trucks like mine, and there's only a handful of them in the country. There are some very skilled fabricators there.

I have to admit that I was once active in the Dodge K car forum. Tough times, indeed. But, they provided the best info for keeping my $300 roof-less shadow beater running.

Just bought a hand crank bolt for my truck from the MG Experience forum the other day. After making only one post, I had a couple guys making suggestions, and one quickly sent me one for $12. Then I got a PM from a guy local to me that noticed my address, and suggested that I should come to his local sports car touring club events. Not too many around these parts, so it's hard to find members. I think I'm going to dinner with them friday night.

There's also the miata people. Pretty amazing group at times, but it's just too frickin' huge for my taste these days. It used to be that I was the only one in town with a modified miata, and now I pass a couple a day. Occasionally I sneak onto the forum to grab some maintenance tips, and then get out. They're still great cars, and mine can outhandle my 02, but I've moved on....

I used to be an A-body Mopar fan, having owned a '74 Dart, and 67', 68', 69' Barracudas. Mostly slant 6 engines. Cheap, plentiful engines/parts in a 2nd-Gen Barracuda gave me a cool looking, light muscle-car, that was easy to work on, when i didn'thave a lot of money back then. You could tinker and get some decent power, good gas mileage, and the ultimate reliability for a 60s-70s Detroit car. (Kinda sounds like the '02 mentality?)

These two sites were great for me at the time... Never really reached out to the 'slant 6' guys, but they seem like a tight-knit group...

I've been working on a concours restoration on my '64.5 Mustang going on 5 years now. It's been taking so long I felt I needed something fun to drive, picked up a '74 Sahara a year and a half ago - best "investment" in fun I've made. Biggest difference between the 2 groups, the Mustang crowd likes to show their cars and the '02 crowd likes to drive!

Mine would have to be the first fives (e12) www.firstfives.org Its a fantastic group just like this one. The only real difference is this group is larger.

I also have owned. and currently own several old land cruisers since the early 1980s. I love ih8mud.com ! The TLC community is pretty remarkable. This one is too! Also the austin healey groups are very helpful and knowledgeable, but not nearly as much information as this 02 crowd.

Early 911s Registry. Great forums, lots of very well versed folks frequent that site, show no mercy for the garbage/fake cars folks like to sometimes pawn off on the unsuspecting.

There are so many cars on this thread that I'd love to get to one day. And this will be food for thought as for which ones I try. That's good to hear about the activity and friendliness of the other groups.

You really feed off the energy of others so I try to factor that in when I consider future acquisitions.

I used to have a 74' Land Cruiser (my favorite truck ever, RIP) and the IH8MUD forum is awesome. Great community like the FAQ group! You guys should do a 'Bimmers and Cruisers' get together...ha!
