Forum like PS but for Classic Cars?

[CoffeeAndDiamonds]

Hi, it's been a while! Glad to see all the familiar names again!!!

In case anyone here loves both diamonds AND classic cards, is there a forum where prosumers help newbies with their classic car purchases?

I'm hoping to buy a classic VW beetle (think two tone cream and sky blue, with a teak & chrome roof rack). Unfortunately I really have no idea where to begin with, you know, assessing the actual mechanics of the car.

This forum was SO helpful when I began my diamond journey (5 years ago now - gasp!), I'd love if something similar existed for classic cars LOL. If all works out, I promise to come come back with bling/car pictures!!

You can probably find a subReddit for that. Literally every topic under the sun exists on Reddit!

Thank you! I'll take a look!

Not sure about VW, but Chevys have TriFive as an awesome forum.

Yeah but it's all men so it probably sucks. Not really joking.

My trouble-prone but fun car requires me to hop onto user forums not infrequently. I never linger and I almost never browse beyond my specific issue. Lotta chest-bumpin' hyperbole and misspellin'

But maybe the true classic car set is a little more chill and, uh, evidence-based.

Sounds like some of the meat smoking forums. Lol
OP, good luck! My husband is looking for a vintage Bronco but we are getting priced out. We had one in the late 80’s and sold it.
In the meantime, we picked up a 1968 F-100 pickup.

Turns out there is a VW specific forum called www.thesamba.com

From which I learned how much it would cost to repaint a classic Beetle. I might be better off sticking to diamonds... LOL

Discord may be a good place to look, you will find some car YouTube channels will have their own Discord and you can get some great advice from enthusiasts in the chat rooms. But I would so what @monarch64 suggests and look at Reddit first, so many good sub-reddits for so many topics!

I always forget about discord! Good idea

Try to find a forum specific to the make/model that you are looking for. Once you do, look for a buying guide thread that will tell you what to look for and look out for. Make sure to post pics of your new ride once you get it, because there’s a few gearheads on this forum

Beautiful! You both have excellent taste!

Your post made me go “ughhhhh exactly!” No jokes.
