I feel like the site needs a clearer section of the site as it relates to actually using the cars we've all put so much time and energy into.

The build thread sections of the site is amazing and gets a lot of attention and the reasons are probably as limitless as they are obvious. But once people complete a build their interaction with the site, as far as sharing is concerned, tends to plummet.

There is currently a kills section but there are obviously negative connotations associated with that title and I don't even think that many people get excited about that these days. I feel the site is in need of an outlet where people feel welcome and invited to share their stories and/or media related to how the enjoy using their car. Whether it's stories, photos, or videos of canyon carving, new engine map testing, car show caravaning, track day driving, sanctioned racing, etc..

I think this section should be called "Driven" and each generation of vehicle should have one.

 

While I can see the obvious benefit of having a section like that, even simply as a motivator for those of us working on cars but not at the epic scale of some of the build threads, I'm not seeing having one subforum in each generation section. Stories of survivors being found, tuned up and put back on the road would be fun. Stories of thrashed cars being put back into service and some kind of financial layout with no "down the rabbit hole" details would be great motivational stories for anyone dealing with these rotary powered beasts. Everyone should be able to find "Driven" easy and get some inspiration. It'd be easy enough to build but let's have this thread run a bit first.
