So the stalking begins

lol, no

I like how the web makes the world smaller and we get people from all over the world here.

I'm on both and was on PT first but lurked here for years. But I think all that has been said pretty much sums it up.

But really, it would be like going to A ford fans site and asking if a ford or a Chevy is better!! LOL!

I like the atmosphere that this site has, which I think is a result of it being a little smaller. It makes it easier to keep up with friends and such. I do go onto pro-touring for the events section, which has a lot of information. Both of the sites have good people.

Lateral-G all day! both sites are very useful for finding info about something your looking for. I hardly never log onto Pro-touring anymore. it seems like their is just so much going on on that website its hard to look at the project or whatever it is you want to look at. Lateral has some great people and some really cool projects going on it. and really easy to navigate around. Plus Jody and Scott are some pretty cool dudes! lol

Sad to see if we didn't have either and we're lucky to have both....

Facebook seems to be more immediate these days and can be very specific to a model, style or brand and it can have some pretty big communities of their own...

Don't get me wrong,,,, I do like the sense of community at both of these sites (Lat and Pro) and look forward to seeing most ;-) of you guys at the various events I've had the good fortune to attend...
In a nut shell we are all lucky.... However we might want to consider twice what we post as threads like this can sometimes polarize people/sites and cause people to move on to specific info only sites.... I'm not trying to be a kill joy,,,, I just don't see what practical benefit comes out of a thread comparing the communities,, however I do see a possible down side as expressed above....

I enjoy both sites

I guess I need to post here more I just realized I have 2000 post over there and a hundred here!

Well said Albert. You probably remember the guy who started this thread:

http://www.pro-touring.com/search.ph...id=2363915&pp=

LatG and PT both serve a purpose for thier general audiences. I think the reason we typically refer to PT as the 'other' site is for descretion (i.e. no direct slam) and not to offend anyone. Why start now? We're all car guys right?

Watch the OP. For a NewB, he'll stir a bit of knucklehead commentary. Not sayin' that's always a bad thing, though...

If it keeps raining and blowing 20 knots here - I may hit the mark this week!
