Car buffs, what are your favorite websites? I’ve never found exactly what I’m looking for – a well designed website with an easily searchable database showing me each year of whatever model I’m interested in at the moment. My google-fu is weak so I’m sure I’m missing some great sites that are out there. ---

For the Willys CJ2A, [The CJ2A Page](http://www.thecj2apage.com/). I’m biased, of course, since I started it. (I gave it up a couple of years ago when I was going through a rather rough period in my life.) For the Willys CJ3B, there’s [The CJ3B Page](http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Default.html). ---

The Awful Forums have a car forum called Automotive Insanity that seems very well informed if you have car related questions. Though those forums can be very unplesant compared to here.
