Check out the Larry Watson thread.

That is a single example. There are a ton more, but this one shows history and fantastic paint.

There are also threads on all black cars, some of the recent AMBR contenders, old school lowriders and many others that are all about shiny.

I will also mention that there was a thread recently that stated that membership had reached over 200,000 members total (not active). That means a lot of overlap, where they all may have different tastes, backgrounds and interests, but can come together for the (proudly) narrow focus of the site. It also means that there are always guys pushing for the site to spread in all sorts of different directions. So it also happens that some will complain about any perceived O/T post.
There are even a couple early van (EEEK!) threads!
