I was on the 780 tuners bandwagon before I learned this is where the cool cats lived.

Dang no one mentioned good ole AlbertaCars.Net?
Well it actually my ex who got me into AB Cars First and then Beyond Came around a year after I think.
Crazy to think that was almost twenty years ago lol

I just moved to Calgary and started selling wheels and tires for CMS and went on a car forum search. I was active on tons of them. It is only Beyond that remains for me. It is my home...
Secret Street and the 240sx category. I miss Race City
Probably secret street.
A friend of mine told me about it back in highschool, 04/05. I remember he had a yellow foxbody mustang back then, haven't seen him around much since HS.
780tuners sent me

@iambrianspilner
now it's pissing me off that I can't remember what my first user account would have been. probably around 02, because that timeline fits. Was driving a sick '93 Excel at the time, with a million stickers on it. Had fog lights below the front bumper that I repeatedly smashed off bottoming out while doing back-alley rally. Had a lot of pent-up stress from nearly failing engineering school.
That was before camera-phones, so I don't have pics, but that car was sweet as hell. In the summers I'd take out the rear quarter windows and blasting my subs. Night at the Roxbury on constant repeat.

There was an Western Canada or Alberta section on another car forum... cardomain or something I think? Beyond was mentioned on there and the rest is history.
A buddy of mine in high school told me about it, I lurked for a while because there was just too many damn ricers, haha. I think the Power Wheelchair Lady in Traffic thread finally got me to sign up.
A coworker was one of the OG lurker’s here, tod me about it. But I was over at 88Coupe’s old mustang forum, can’t remember the name, mustangshop.ca or something and kept hearing about Beyond.

Had the same issue at ercchry, couldn't make an account because I only had Hotmail
Race City Secret Street, 18 years ago... I basically went every Friday. OGs will remember this 300+hp beast.
DTP at Race City. One of my Lancer buddies was in the show and a few people kept telling me about it because I had a bit of a done up '03 Lancer OZ.
I was doing some research before I bought my BMW and came across this site. Joined up and this is my main go-to for car forums.
I can't say for certain, but it was somewhere between '03 - '05, a buddy who lived near me showed me the Beyond marketplace when I was trying to sell some stuff and offered to let me use his account. It was such a horrible name too, Thetrousertrout. I used that for a long time, but I lost contact with him, and then one day the password just changed, so I made spikers.
It was really the perfect fit for me. I was a gear head, and it was first real introduction to a forum. Yes, I was a late bloomer.
