New group idea: Automobile enthusiasts group

[LTR]

The purpose of the Automobile Enthusiasts Group is for members to discuss automobiles, driving, maintenance and modifications. Everyone is invited to discuss cars in general, ask questions, seek help, and provide advice and answers.

The first ten donors giving the thumbs up on this group may get the chance to see it happen. So whad'ya think?

And if anyone has a better suggestion for a name or mission statement, post it here.

You got my support.

I'm a car dummy, but I love driving.

5. Think the timing on that one may have been

hurt by the Gannon story breaking.

[Book Lover]

11. Yep, it was

I'm in, obviously!

[msgadget]

17. I agree,

otherwise, I'm sure there'd have been much more interest. I really would like some information on detailing because the stuff on the internet is so...well, detailed!

8. Oooh. I'd join that one.

I drove a Hemi Orange '73 Cuda for a couple years -- until I needed a reliable car and couldn't afford to own 2 cars. I'd love to talk with other enthusiasts.

That must have hurt!

First muscle car (in high school) - '62 Chevy w/Holley double pumpers, Keith Black balanced/blueprinted small block, etc.

Last old-time muscle car (early 90's) - '65 Vette coupe - 396/425 w/side pipes, teak wheel, real knock-offs (trust me - one came off while driving!), etc.

Current -'04 Audi A6 2.7T Turbo.

Oh, I am definitely in... :)

14. Love the idea

My car is the one thing the Bush adm. hasnt taken from me yet.

15. Looks like you almost have enough support

but you still need a mission statement...

Something similar to what Book Lover stated in the GD thread...

"a group to discuss all facets of automobiles in our daily lives: modded vehicles, how to live car-free, make and model discussion, best racetracks, car care, etc."

Otherwise it sounds like a great idea! :hi:

[LTR]

16. I like your mission statement better

Didn't even know it had been suggested a few days earlier.

Well, I'm off to ATA.

[countingbluecars]

18. Count me in.
