Car Web Sites

Can car web sites do justice to the throaty growl of a Monte Carlo SS, the capaciousness of a Ford F-350 Harley Davidson, or the almost sinfully luxurious feel of a Lexus LS-430? The technology of the Internet is pretty damned stunning, and though we don’t yet have a scratch-and-sniff equivalent (and many web-heads say we don’t need to), we do have visual, auditory, and 3-D presentation techniques that almost simulate the real thing—the experience of the test-drive.

In the same respect, some of the coolest car web sites are those which are informational, interactive, and entertaining. These sites give plenty of pictorial representation, offer forums and other exchange boards and rooms, and provide resources for studying and learning about car parts, tools, and accessories, auto make and model history, and comparison value data and statistics.

One of the best new car web sites is bestnewcarprice.com. First, the site provides safety information regarding buying cars online. Next, here you can avail yourself of your new car wish list, using the search engine to get makes and models and using the facilities that allow you to switch out colors, mix and match options, and even place an order online.

One of the greatest car web sites for classic cars is, appropriately, classiccars.com. From the moment you arrive on site, you are transported by and to the classic car experience—with Classic Cars baby teal and powder whites and crèmes that replicate the 57 T-Bird (or the pastels of early advertising); with classic car fanatics’ chat rooms, where you can learn, study, understand, and exchange ideas for remodeling, restoring, and repairing your hot rod; and with, most importantly to many, a thorough, user-friendly classifieds search engine—categorized by year, make, and/or model.

Vintage car web sites are abundant, exciting, and exacting, and offer nationwide models, information, and deals at such supreme sites as oldcar.com (a.k.a. myoldcar.com). You can also chat, search, research, and as well, can find dealers and private owners who rent out the vintage cars of your dreams.

Specialty car web sites, where you don’t need the whole car but need that elusive super-winch, want to read more in a specific book or replace a missing owner’s manual, or want to embellish your almost complete restoration project with an emblem or license plate or the like. Such no frills car web sites include those high performance and hard-to-find parts (at Tracy Performance--TracyPerf.com and SpeedPart.net); trailers, ramps, tie-downs, and dollies (at, respectively, CarTrailers.biz, VehicleRamps.com, TieDowns.com, and TwoDollie.com); and such essentials as vehicle bags and car covers (at VehicleBag.com and AutoCovers.biz).

This, though you can’t smell or touch, should keep you busy—or in Dream Land—for a few hours, eh?
