Has anyone thought of setting up an automobile group
Would you want to discuss the love/hat/caring of our four wheel friends?

1. I had wondered why
one hasn't been started. Not that I'd be an active participant, but it just seems like a no-brainer.

Maybe it should be a Motor Vehicle thread, so motorcycles are covered, too.

3. Motor Vehicles/personal Transportation would be a good way
to frame the discussions. That would be anything from skates to an F-89

2. Because the majority of DUers don't obsess over material items?
Just a guess I'm throwing out there.

5. Yeah, but they need a way to get their kids to Judo class
or to LaCrosse practice.

10. If it was a car advice type of group, that would be cool
But when I think car groups, I think of a bunch of guys who have nothing better to do with their time and money than collect cars and some them off to other people.

12. It could be advice, recommendations, venting, or anything you want
to talk about. It doesn't have to be just about cars, it can be about bicycles, trucks, motorcycles, or any other form or transportation. Us Dems have a different opinion on cars. Most Dems I know see them as tools, not an extension or amplification of their persona.

So titling the group is important. Any ideas of a good all inclusive, but simple name would be appreciated.
