***NEWSFLASH*** "Old skool" now starts from the year 2000...

This thread single handedly destroyed the term "old school" for me.

Haha, it's just like the threads that used to pop up about "VIP" (or bippu, whatever that bullshit is called). People would post some car that looks exactly like every other VIP car, but someone would tell the person that they're an idiot because no 5'4" Jap yakuza boss jackoff would drive it.

I do agree that pre-2000 is quite a late cut-off for anything nostalgic. However, the only argument that holds any ground is the antique tag. Everything else is just someone's opinion.

Note: no one in particular prompted this semi-rant, just the general sentiment towards any kind of automotive exclusivity.

Love you guys

Lolol. I understood NONE of what you posted, man.

Oh. And I'm not laughing at you, buddy. Later, QD.

Haha, sorry I just kind of had brain diarrhea in that last post. Basically, I don't like when exclusivity forms in the automotive world based on someone's arbitrary opinion.

Random year for old school cutoff = arbitrary
Car is eligible for an antique tag = not arbitrary

The ideas of Old school, JDM, VIP, Rice, etc. have all been guilty of this in their own way.

I see where you're coming from, but the "old school" classification is a bit different. It pays homage to the cars that kind of led to the cars that everyone mods today. The majority of the OS enthusiasts, fortunately, make the cut off year a little less arbitrary. It's still opinion based, but it's a more unanimous number to use 1985. That's the year a lot of the modern techniques came on the scene in cars. The looks, the performances, etc. Really it's kind of the like the History Channel of the automotive world. Later, QD.

Fair enough

Fair enough

Something else I might add, lolol:

To gather all these older cars in one location for people to look at without having to weed through all the cars that you can see 100 times a day is nice, too.

As odd as it may seem, the most popular car to mod, by far, is the Honda Civic and my Civic is the only one that ever goes to the meets, lolol. Later, QD.
