Forums-fan
FB, etc -FOE.
I love forums. Specifically the archives. I have had numerous old cars. Mustangs, T-Birds, Impalas etc. I can always find the answer to a question I have about whatever current build I am doing. Anything you want to know about an old car can be found, usually on a forum dedicated to a particular car, in a post that's 10 years old.
Like previously mentioned, the down side of many forums is the cranky old men that seem to inhabit many of them. Most are long time members that grump and whine about noobs, insult newcomers, brag about their bottomless "knowledge" and eventually destroy the very forum that they love so much.
Since the late 90s, I've seen at least 3 or 4 classic car forums rise to huge numbers and then die off to the point that the only posters are the very guys ya'll are talking about...18000 posts, "Lifetime Gold Members" etc etc. Generally retired old farts that do nothing all day but drink coffee and browse forums.
Noob: "Is it possible to swap an LS engine into my ________?"
Old Timer: "Do a search you dimwit! That question has been asked a thousand times!! Back in my day you had to go out and read a book, you lazy *****. You people !! "
Old Timer 2 years later: "How come nobody posts here anymore?" "what happened to everybody?"
I do have a FB account under an alias. Only because many businesses skip the web page now in favor of a FB page. I will never understand the fascination folks have with snap chat, Twitter et al.
They only seem to be inhabited by narcissists who think everyone else is VERY interested in them.
