Other Cars

I've brought this up before, but it hasn't really gotten any interest. A few forums I'm on have a sub-forum for misc. cars or other cars. It takes a lot of clutter out of war stories and OT. Instead of bench racing in the war stories section people can say, "how about _____ . What kind of numbers and track times do they put down..." or even just asking about a new car they may want to buy. I think it would keep a lot of flame wars from happening in the war stories section too. thoughts?

these sub-forums are popular in local general car forums but not so popular in specific, non-local car forums. not a fan of the idea.

well evolutionm has a sub-forum labeled "other cars" and so does my350z. They work quite well for filtering out bickering in racing threads and are good for referring people to when asking about certain cars.

i was thinking you meant other sections labled ford, mazda, dodge, honda, etc. if it's just one more section it's not so bad.

Not enough traffic on this board to warrant it IMO

nah, just a section labeled, "other cars."

I know we're not supposed to link to other forums, but here-

http://forums.evolutionm.net/other-cars-33/

It has worked out really well on EvoM. It takes pretty much all of the automotive related threads out of OT and seperates them from the real OT.
