Vehicle related forums are very much alive. It’s the best place you can go to get help with your car. I hang around on a couple different ones and it’s far better than anything I’ve seen on Reddit.
Yep. Whenever I get a new vehicle or motorcycle, I always search for a forum for it and get way more info on common problems (and usually great ways to deal with them), hacks for the software, cool mods and accessories (usually ending up costing me thousands of dollars in parts I wouldn't have known I "needed" if I stayed away, but...) tips and tricks for maintenance, and lots of useful info in general
just want to fully second this based on experience.. information i got from forums really helped me with my most recent purchase.. both with making the decision in the first place, and with finding aftermarket parts that my specific run of that model really needed.. helped a ton..
Have you got any links to some?
They are vehicle specific. I own a Toyota tundra and a Mazda Miata so I hang out on tundras.com and miata.net
if you look for Honda Accord forums for example, you would eventually be able to find nearly all the info you need to build one from scrap..
