Some Answers...

Recently I posted about some of the different forums, and their usefulness--or lack thereof. I'd like to explore that topic slightly further. I've spent a decent amount of time looking through different forums in an attempt to answer some of my questions, but I kept running into the problems detailed in my prior post. So, instead of repeating myself, I'm going to explore some of the other options available to a novice mechanic. Interestingly enough, Facebook is a huge boon to those attempting to diagnose and fix problems with their car. For example, I'm a member of the Toyota Supra MKIII Appreciation Club (or MKIIIAC) as well as a Georgia Supra Owners club. Both of these Facebook groups have been tremendous resources, allowing me to connect with different individuals who have some level of expertise within the field. As helpful as this is, however, it's still not enough. Facebook is really most useful for answering short questions, or posting about meets, etc, it's not very helpful when it comes to detailing out how to do a project. Thus, in my final project, I believe that a blog will be able to synthesize the quickness of Facebook along with the more detailed possibilities of a forum.
