# What’s Your Favorite Car Group on Facebook?

![](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/images-by-url-td/content/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-17-at-5.05.40-PM.jpeg>)

There's far more content on social media than one could ever hope to consume, much less *want* to. Hunting down stuff worth reading or watching takes time, and when you find someone whose content is all worthwhile, [like Garage 54](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36410/shop-builds-a-surprisingly-convincing-wire-wheel-out-of-nails-without-popping-any-tires.md>), their name is worth shouting from the rooftops.

So, on the proverbial rooftop that is our comments section, why don't you holler the following: What's your favorite car group on Facebook?

If I had to pick one group to share with the world that isn't one of my [24 Hours of Lemons](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/28476/the-top-10-wonderfully-horrible-race-cars-of-the-2019-24-hours-of-lemons-b-f-e-gp.md>) groups, it'd have to be the wondrous place that is [Junkyard Racecars](<https://www.facebook.com/groups/242026370542818/?multi_permalinks=381777906567663>). They say one man's trash is another man's treasure, but when it comes to rusty shells dragged from the scrap heap, that transformation isn't as simple as a change in perspective. It requires the alchemy of ingenuity; of figuring out something for oneself.

There are no kits out that include all the parts to fit a Chinese-turbocharged LS V8 to an Avanti rustier than *R.M.S. Titanic*; there are no Ikea-simple instruction booklets that tell you how to lift a [Nash Metropolitan](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31682/1961-nash-metropolitan-with-8-8-liter-big-block-v-8-is-more-engine-than-car.md>) five inches, and cram a Buick V8 into it. It doesn't matter if the end result is barely worthy of a plate and tags, and would cause allergic reactions at a Concours d'Elegance. As long as it was built with one's hands and wits on the budget of a family road trip, it's as good as gold.

Your turn.
