| Sep 11, 2012 at 22:26 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | Somebody should be out at the enthusiast events handing out trinkets (stickers/decals, tire pressure gauges, mouse pads, whatever). | |

| May 25, 2012 at 0:27 | comment | added | purpleACR | Another challenge is - who are the experts? Yes there are a lot of mechanics out there but in a lot of cases the expert is just somebody who has owned the car for a while and learned things the hard way. So how do you find those people and get them to participate? | |
| May 17, 2012 at 2:31 | comment | added | Bob Cross Mod | We could also try the easy thing that I just did: post a link to your personal best question or answer on your wall/google+/twitter and ask for feedback from the larger community. I tried it with my effective compression answer and had an immediate comment. Admittedly, that's ONE new view but still: a few moments with my phone and a new reader materialized. | |
| May 17, 2012 at 2:22 | comment | added | Bob Cross Mod | A sponsored car show might be a little much. On the other hand, sponsoring an entry into the 2012 Grassroots Challenge might be entirely different: grassrootsmotorsports.com/events/2012challenge Maybe if there were a college or engineering department looking for a sponsor: $2012 isn't a lot of funds for Stackexchange to kick in.... | |
| May 17, 2012 at 0:10 | comment | added | jmort253 | Agreed, I think that's what's tough about this industry is the fact that you're not as close to a computer. However, mobile is more and more accessible, and it's becoming so much easier to tweet from anywhere :) So, Bob do you think sponsoring a Car show or some similar event would be outside the scope of mechanics? Would that draw the wrong crowd or would that draw in like-minded people who would have motor vehicle repair questions? | |
| May 16, 2012 at 14:33 | comment | added | Bob Cross Mod | A couple of other important quotes from that post: "We Will Match Effort With Funds" and "don’t try to take on the world." They also remind us that we could easily share links to our favorite questions and answers on facebook, twitter, etc. That's very low effort with at least some payoff for us. Sadly, when I'm at work, my access to such things is ... inconvenient. | |
