Social Networking for your Car with Boompa

There are social networks for everything else, MySpace for teens, LinkedIn for professionals, Dogster for dogs, why not for cars. Boompa has just opened its doors to focus on cars and their owners. Users can enter information on cars they own or want to buy. Like all good Web 2.0 sites, Boompa incorporates, tagging, social networking tools, and Ajax.

I know that some people love their cars. I had a ‘68 Mustang myself as a teen, so I know the feeling. However, now that the glory days are long gone, cars are a lot more about transportation than passion for me. I can relate to the guy (or gal) that uploaded the picture of his vintage Mercedes, but not with the people who took the time to upload pictures of their ‘93 Toyota Camry, the Dodge Neon, and the Datsun pickup. These people are too close to their cars.
