I love cars and all things vehicular, and I've had a wild hair to start a general car forum, so I did.

Had a beefy server, business grade internet line, PTR record, blah blah blah.

Put all the work into it myself. It just needs people.

The link is:

http://www.laspeedgarage.com

The forum does not compete in any way with Polk Forum, so I am hoping I am not breaking any rules here.

Mention Polk Forum if you come by and register!

Thanks for your time.

    Cool, I will authorize ya.

    There is a bunch of stuff already going over there, but we only have 15 users, and 3 of those are regular posters, one of those three is me. LOL.

    It's a laid back atmosphere like here.

    Figured some of the guys and gals over here would want to take a look.

    :D

    I signed up. Looks good!

    I'm a long way from southern California, though. Heck, I'm a long way from anywhere.

    Why not, since it's CP related. Otherwise, there are way too many car forums, and they are just a bunch of kids with their neon lights and spoilers. :)

    Registered with the same SN as here...

    Thanks! I activated you!

    I was on a bunch of Mustang boards and I was just tired of the heavy handed moderation and "dog piling" that goes on so I started a general purpose car board that I hope will cater to all motorcycle and car lovers.

    Hopefully it will take off.

    I like how this place is run and want to mirror that feeling at LA Speed Garage.

    Looking forward to awarding that Polk PSW10 to someone! :)

    If you like what you see on my forum, please let others know. Make sure you read about the contest so that you get credit for referrals!

    This could be cool. I generally just stick around celica forums, as my local car forum is lame. Hopefully this ends up being a bit more mature, and less uptight at the same time. :)
