Many “car” forums have died
The diyelectriccar forum has suffered even more
Also a reflection that many zoomers hate forums in general and just want to watch as created 15 second videos instead and make comments that disappear after a few minutes
Different world

That is kind of true for most of my generation indeed.
However there is also a huge cultural gap between zoomers and boomers.
Forums like this often also are near unsearchable, links are often dead and if you ask something you often get told to just use the search function.
And info from 10+ years is often outdated.
Car ownership has also gotten more expensive while wages where outpaced by inflation for decades and then we got covid.
We zoomers are basicly ****ed big time at the moment, and it doesn't seem to get better anytime soon.
And since people are often working from home now, buying a car is often a bad idea for them.
Cars have also become harder and harder to fix, everything is controlled by computers that can't be acecssed while mechanical complexity has increased as well.
Laws also became more and more strict in most places.
Cars aren't as appealing as a hobby anymore for all these reasons.
