It is a toss up over what is currently my favorite automotive forum. I visit both the BMW2002FAQ and the Pelican Parts Forum on a daily basis. The first is because I have owned a 1974 2002 for close to five years, and the second is because I have lately been addicted to all things Porsche.
What I love about both forums is that they are very friendly places to visit with their incredibly supportive communities, and the wealth of knowledge is vast. I must admit that I spend most of my time in the Porsche Cars for Sale forum on Pelican and it stokes my desire more and more every day to purchase a 911. I think the only cure will be when I finally break down and buy one.

Now let’s hear from you. What is your favorite automotive forum?
[url=”http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/”]North American Motoring Forums[/url] All MINIs and Minis…all the time!
http://www.m3forum.com
also check http://ls1tech.com/ from time to time
For the E28 generation 5 series: http://www.mye28.com
For first gen 5 series: http://www.firstfives.org
Saabworld for the Saab fans. It is not the biggest or the busiest Saab forum, but has the most friendly people from all around the world, with lots of camaraderie, and lots of technical info. It is lightly moderated, and not owned by Virtual Scope or any other company that loves to buy up fan sites and turn them into cash cows. Saabworld is 100\% fan owned (thanks Frank!) and it will stay that way.
Here is the link, since I forgot it on the first post: [url=”www.saabworld.net”]www.saabworld.net[/url]
FerrariChat. The knowledge base of the community is staggering, including (maybe especially) in the vintage section, as well as in the “starter” (e.g., 360, 550) Ferrari section.
E30s galore. Best website on the internet.
http://www.e9coupe.com has a large following and is a great community as well with both knowledgeable and eager to learn new owners.
Agree – check out e9coupe.com :p
Bimmerfest.com Specifically the e36 section. My first BMW was a 95 318i and i joined for the usual “help me” stuff. But now its like family with those guys, Ive driven from NY to both the SoCal and MD Bimmerfest shows to meet and greet the people I know from that forum. Its truely an awesome group of fellas. Now thanks in large part to the love i have for the community Im on my 4th BMW and my first ’02! 🙂 That makes 02, e30, e36, and e39 since I first got the bug. Thats how good of a… Read more »
My clear favourite before Petrolicious is http://www.viaretro.com
[url=”http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/”]Mazdaspee Forums[/url] – The best, crudest forum for turbo Mazda enthusiasts.
That’s MAZDASPEED, not Mazdaspee. Where’s the ‘edit’ button?
Depends on what is your car …
http://914world.com is simply the best place for all Porsche 914 owners …
…
BMW 2002 FAQ is a daily stop for me, and the archives there are an amazingly valuable and deep resource of 2002 info.
For all my Lincoln needs (not just Continental), I visit:
http://www.thelincolnforum.net/phpbb3/
Josh, I’m on the same sites with you everyday! Good to know who my competition is on the 911 hunt. 🙂
I’m restoring a 72 BMW 2002 at the moment.
I’m also on thesamba.com nearly every day since I have a 69 Westy.
The best community keeping alive the best Impreza chassis.
[url=”http://eurostyle-tuning.com/forum/forum.php”]Euro Style Tuning[/url]
Just a friendly community of euro enthusiasts. Small enough to be friendly, big enough to feed your euro needs.
I have a love / hate relationship with car forums but I do spend a lot of time on them particularly the ones related to classic Ferrari’s. The vintage sections of Ferrarichat and Ferrarilife are obvious places for this but I also recommend Tom Yang’s site for anyone considering restoring an old Ferrari http://www.tomyang.net/cars/ferrari.html Forum is small but posters know what they’re talking about.
Isobizchat.com is also good for people interested in Iso’s and Bizzarrini’s
My 2 faves are:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/
http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/
I got into 67-72 Chevy Truck with my first vehicle,a ’69 Chevy C10. It was a horrible POS, but the forum was great. Very supportive as I learned how to work on the truck, and tons of inspiring vehicles on there.
FABO I found as a result of buying my ’68 Dart. Again, super supportive, it’s just a wealth of information for anybody interested in Mopar A-bodies.
