Be it siblings,cousins or nephews; start a groupchat with them. The platform dosent matter as long as youre all active and comfortable with it.

Young car enthusiasts get most of their information through videogames or second-hand sources online (YT,Tiktok etc…) A first hand source from you about buying, driving, maintaining and just the general car ownership experience would help set more realistic views and expectations in general.

Personally, I made an IG group with my younger cousins which I called " Cars&Memes.com", The display pic is Doug doing a pog face while driving. We send mostly used car ads and memes, some of them car related, some not. Just having fun and communicating with each other.

I also see it as a way to give back to the car community in general by transferring experiences, knowledge and stories. Not everything is on the internet.
