**SAVE THE FORUMS!**

Once upon a time, there were places gearheads like us could go online to find other gearheads, learn to maintain, modify, and fix our own vehicles—and make lasting friendships that border on family. These places were called “forums”, and they were the original social media.

Sadly, Facebook has all but killed the forum.

Our collective attention has shrunk to the point of being almost non-existent. We used to strictly direct no0bies to the forum’s search. Now we repeatedly answer the same stupid, lazy questions in Facebook groups over and over and over again. (In between political propaganda, of course.)

My guest this week is Chris “Ludacris” Raymond, who started—and still runs—DSMtuners.

Are you ready to get the real low-down on what’s happening with car forums today?

Welcome to The Gearhead Project.
