I feel weird making a suggestion being SO new, but what about regional forums for people in specific areas? Shop referrals, places for "locals" or semi locals to get in touch with whatever's goin on where they are (parts that are hard to get & who's got, who's working where now, finding people you lost touch with, whatever. I know that we used to have a couple of body shops & a few individuals who did SERIOUSLY GREAT work but who've gome on to do other things or just faded out of sight. Same with mechanics. What ever happened to them? kind of stuff)
