Wouldn’t it be sweet if you could have the perfect toy shop, a “Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory,” if you will, filled only with the rides that matter to you? What if you could take your bad-ass collection of rod and muscle, and make it public? Not only would you be able to scope-out each others’ vehicles, but also network with fellow enthusiasts, while building upon your own cars to make them even better. Well believe us when we tell you that car publicity is not just for Jay Leno anymore!

After all, why should he have all the fun? And apparently eBay Motors agrees, as eBay Garage has become the web’s premiere social network and customization platform, webcasting photo galleries and other tidbits from the world’s most diehard motoring enthusiasts.

Our favorite feature of eBay Garage is that it’s search-based, allowing you to not only look at specific projects but follow them. The beauty of it is that everyone who is a part of the online community has the opportunity to build a fan base, and eBay Garage makes it possible to follow the rod and muscle builds that catch your interest.

Also, because eBay’s ground-breaking platform does feature an integrated search engine, it’s a system that does far more than just allow you to access profiles and check out your favorite wheels; eBay Garage is a web platform that basically customizes itself for you.

If you’re a turbo Regal fan, or just a fan of GM A-bodies and Mopars, with eBay Garage you can check-out Road Runners and Malibus all day long if that’s what tickles your fancy. If T-Types and Grand Nationals are your thing, then you can follow those too.

Here’s the thing: each and every one of us who calls his or herself a “gearhead” knows exactly what kind of car or truck makes us salivate. It’s not hard to figure out; some enthusiasts are just more attracted to Chrysler and Ford muscle than they are GM or any other make. eBay Motors gets that, and believe us when we say that nobody’s hatin’!

What must be said, however, is that there are so many different variations out there on just a single vehicle; sure, “everybody” in club Mopar has a Road Runner, but what if your Plum Crazy is just a little crazier than someone else’s Lime Green? The solution is simple: with eBay Garage, it’s easier now than ever to share ideas and swap stories.

Or say you’re running an old-school 440 in an early-’70s ‘Cuda, but after a few raw fuel scenarios, decide to go with the efficiency of a late-model HEMI. With eBay Garage, search terms like ” ‘Cuda” and “HEMI” can be punched-in to narrow your search for parts, accessories, and perhaps even an entire running gear.

Who knows, with this unique network and database from eBay, you may even find that “dream ride” you’ve been waiting for! That’s because eBay Garage currently has more than 100 thousand public profiles on tap, and with a following that’s this massive, the platform doesn’t look like it’ll be going anywhere for a while.

An eBay spokesperson says that the innovative network is not only user-friendly, but it’s one that proves itself successful, some user profiles have been viewed nearly 2,000 times by other car fanatics. Each profile is designed for a specific genre, ranging from what may be described as, “Ridiculous hot rods” to “classy classics and bad ass bikes.”

Oh yeah, even the two-wheeled folks are represented on eBay Garage, but again when you’re ready to trade in your Harley for a Caddy, eBay Garage’s unique platform will be there to fulfill your every motoring need. It can be summed up by saying that eBay Garage is the Internet’s “ultimate virtual dream garage and social hangout for auto fans everywhere.”

Put it this way: the most you can lose by creating a profile is a few minutes for setup, but otherwise why would you not want to be able to connect with thousands of like-minded gearheads, and simultaneously?! Take a moment when you can and check out eBay Garage for yourself; it may be the best few minutes you’ll lose for the entire week!
