I think there's quite a few of us in there that only frequent the Car Lounge areas and are either not interested in brand specific GTG's or looking to join up with others. It would also provide a place to discuss regional topics, and events. Online Poll » Results
Yes, I favor regional sub-sections in The Car Lounge (80%, 153 votes)
No, I am against regional sub-sections in The Car Lounge (19%, 36 votes)
The PNW regional forum I go to is not brand-specific. Although there are many VWs there...
It's not all about VWs, alot is, as you said, talking about other cars or regional issues. The reason you won't find many non-VAG cars is due to the fact it's located on the VWvortex server.
I had to post a regional thread in TCL itself, because it was TCL-specific, not Vortex related... and got a bunch of "YOU GONNA GET RAPED" pics from people NOT in that region.
Vote on this ish damnit!! I need to be up to date on trackdays and other happenings in my area!! And I cant be visiting 10 different forums for their nor cal sections!!
Now that I think about it, RSS could accomplish my complaints.
i voted yes. I think it would be a great idea. Right now I log in through the motive mag section and cant access the VW regional forums. The car lounge being its own entity should have its own regional section since there are alot for us who only come here for the carlounge.
I know for a fact that here in Mexico City there are at least 5 different TCL'ers that have wanted to get together. I would hate to make a thread and get it locked. .
i'm curious, is the car lounge independent of vwvortex? i see so many non-vw owners on a vw website asking for non-vw stuff.... (not saying this request is non-vw), but.... i'm either missing something, or..... i think i'm missing something.
Any update on this? I'm all for a non-brand specific regional/chat forum. It would save TCL from being clogged up by discussions of events that are completely irrelevant to users that live far away. What do I care about people going to a show in LA? What do California users care if we're getting people together to go to Lime Rock?
Well, It's gotta get 200 votes according to the rules, and it's stalled out at 73.
I would post it as a topic in the car-lounge, but it's not appropriate for that area, and doesn't get enough views over here. So I guess if you want it, promote it in your signature, and tell others to do the same.
Thanks for the support!
Vote for regional Sub-Sections in The Car Lounge 7:58AM CST 01/14/2010: 138 out of 200 "Yes" votes needed to add Regional Sub-Sections! (Correction, it appears the rules changed in Sept. 09 and the goal went from 200 to 400 votes needed. )
I'm all for it. The VWVortex regional forums are packed full of VW specific meets (obviously), and I'd love to see more general/non-brand specific GTGs.

how about a carlounge OT too? lol there would be far less thread jacking an stupidity in the carlounge if we got an OT forum.
They tried that a long time ago (before I even got here) and it was total chaos from what everyone says, so it was closed. Any mod that I've ever seen talk about it says there's no chance it'll happen again.
Personally, I'd like to see an OT forum too, though...
It's interesting -- I used to live in Phoenix and would frequent the SW regional forum and found that it included a lot of general regional/automotive content. Now that I've moved to Southern CA I find that the SoCal forum is pretty much just for discussing the numerous weekly (yes, weekly) VW GTGs.
While I don't have a problem with that (even if 20 weekly GTGs in a single region seems a bit much...), I'd be interested in a regional general automotive forum for all the cool car stuff that I'm sure is going on around here but I just don't know about yet.
Which is all a really long way of saying that I've seen the light and I've added my vote for the cause
For the most part. If memory serves, it's also the cucumber capital of Japan. Hence the home-market ads for the FT-86 featuring Takeichi-kun, the cartoon cucumber whose meteoric rise through the underground drift world has shamed him in the eyes of his school-master.
