IMO, it isn't worth reg, Q.
The words mean nothing when put together.
It's probably worth as much as TruckGravel.com, BoatMustard.com or BicycleBathrobe.com

Shouts development :kickass:

Maybe a site for guys and gals that love cars, trains, boats etc

Or those that re-vamp older vehicles

Banger cars??

One thing too many people fail to consider- particularly beginning domainers when appraising the viability of deeply abstract names with a 'distant' connection to a particular niche- is existing competition.

Given the weight that G gives to age and 'trust', it's very, very, very difficult to break into a highly competitive niche to begin with, even more so when using a 'brandable' name that isn't a natural search term. Auto forums are one of the most competitive forum types there is, with every conceivable make, model and brand represented by some sort of 'standard' forum that is well aged, well trusted and well used. Trying to develop some catch-all 'general' forum for autos is way too broad, given the state of things.

In forums, traffic begets traffic which begets traffic, thus, any upstart trying to unseat an existing forum must bring something to the table- development wise- that is extremely innovative (and believe me... As far as forums go, there isn't a whole lot left to innovate using casual development)

Anyone who wants to break into this field is facing an uphill battle to say the least, but if they're trying to do so using a name like this, it's an uphill journey wearing a pack loaded with stones. Even *GOOD* forum names are a rough go.

For example, AnthropologyForums.com dropped recently. That's about as good a name as you can get in that niche. Unfortunately, the search volume isn't that high and there are already a couple forums that are considered to be standard-bearers in the niche. In spite of the fact that they're developed on inferior name platforms, everything else they DO have going for them negates the quality of the name... AnthropologyForums is a great name for the niche, but with extremely difficult dev potential. Car forums are probably 100X more competitive.

If op wanted to dev LoveAutos into a static content site for ppc, he/she would have to be extremely knowledgeable about an array of vehicles (perhaps, he/she is a mechanic), equally knowledgeable about SEO and again, given the competition involved in that field, put in a ton of work for what would amount to very little gain, relative to other opportunities that are out there.

Unfortunately, names like this are non-starters in every way. When you see them developed and succeeding, it's usually a case of someone who sucked at understanding what constituted a 'good domain name' long ago, developed it because they had a passion for a particular topic and it's been soaking and gaining trust for years. Whatever success it enjoys isn't a result of the domain platform, but rather, the emphasis SE algos place on time.

There is a college in Toronto that uses the site LoveCars.. I suggest you contact a couple of mechanic training schools and see if they would be interested.. Theres only value in the name if it is developed.. i'd say low $xxx

Although I don't disagree with your points I do think that future developers should not be put off with a challenge. The internet will still grow and giving a member of this community some *ideas* is not such a bad thing should they decide to go the development way.

I personally do not think it's wise to buy any name with no idea of what you are going to do with it at purchase point. I think one of the key points to domaining is knowing (or at least thinking you know) what plans you have for a name before you hit the buy button.
