TRUE CUSTOMIZATION......WHEN WILL IT BEGIN AGAIN?

[Elbow]

Drive a race car on the street, it's like driving with a naked blonde on your roof.

People buying knock off parts is hurting vendors and in turn hurts us as well. This is a fact.

I do drive a 3k lb fwd car... I've driven a boosted teg with about 350 to the wheels, which is honestly more than a teg ever needs....but I have also driven 350's, m3's, an m5, and a c5 vette z06, etc, and I like rwd cars better, you may like fwd cars better, good for you, but I like rwd/awd cars better. If you have such a big problem with that then....lol

ah hell how did I miss this one.

So you're comparing m3's, m5's, and Z06's to a 350hp turbo Integra? lololol! You can't even take turns in a FWD with that power, it's useless on the street in just about any gear, and with the lightest bit of rain it is useless in every gear at all RPM's.

A $18-22k MSRP car to those that are $55-85,000? Fail. Try again.

It will come when people stop being coward ass sheep and grow some nuts. I get so tired of people bagging on originality. They should just state the truth and admit they don't have the sack to stand on their own. That is why I drive cars that they can't pronounce let alone find or drive. fuck a crowd. I'm in the scene strictly for the love of cars and meeting different but cool people with cool ideas.

Without knockoffs, there would b no competition, resulting n high prices staying high, the "authentic" companies would create a monopoly and there would b nothing you can do about it. Its called Capitalism, and without it, there wouldnt b enough ppl involved to call this a scene b/c everything would b 2 expensive. Though "knockoffs" r "knockoffs", they give everyone the chance to express themselves thru their vehicles. And some "knocksoff" work just as good as the brand name...sometimes ALL u r paying for is a brand name. So "authentic" isnt always the best choice either. And the scene is becoming dull b/c ppl r afraid of being labeled as ricers.

I dont even know how to comment on this thread...true customization is not dead, its just dead on IA. Its all pretty much been stated. Just build whatever you want and dont give a fuck what anyone else things. Thats what I do...hell the Passat had $40k+ aftermarket, a car that is usually driven by soccer moms.
