Before the Algorithm: the Golden Age of Car Forums 💀

Remember when car enthusiasts lived on message boards, not Instagram? In this episode, we take a nostalgic ride back to the era of Internet forums — the OG hub for gearheads to share knowledge, source parts, document builds, and argue over engine swaps.

We talk about the charm and chaos of those early digital garages — from deciphering thread hierarchies and sketchy photobucket links to the legendary DIY write-ups and community drama that made forums more than just websites.

Now replaced by fast-scrolling feeds and short-form content, we ask: what did we lose when we traded forum culture for social media? And what, if anything, can modern car culture learn from the past?

🚗 Whether you were deep in the Honda-Tech trenches or lurking on NASIOC, this one’s for the old-school enthusiasts.
