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

[VooDooXII]

If I can't get an antique plate for it, it isn't "old school."

^^^The largest classic Japanese car show in America says pre 1985 and the exceptions are car models that ran over the 1985 cutoff. So if your cars body style started in 1984 then it's still classed as a 1984 bodystyle even if it is a 1989. By state law, you are correct. ^^^

^^^well by that.........then my car is old school since it started in 1982

but i dont think its OS

[lovitt0607]

you can get an antique plate at 20 years old so i would consider any car 20 years or older olds chool

old school*

[NAMNORI]

"old school"- (v,n,adj.) the true definition of old school is that if your shit gets some bodydamage you immediatly look for someone who can cut and weld new body panels not bondo and fill shit in cheaply. Youre fucked royaly shits expensive to fix because it's impossible to find. If you have fuel injection consider yourself lucky, if you are carbed hopefully you know someone who can tune it right.(two screw drivers is all you need!) I love my old skool. Almost left the scene behind but found it's twin so it looks like the motto is right. Once you go old you never go back

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

[quickdodge®]

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.
