    The people who are different or don't care what others think get royally bashed.

    There are very few really unique cars on this site. Every Honda on here to me looks the same, is boring, and for some unknown reason Honda owners think they are the shit. That's the stereotype I get from it.

    Shit I paint half my cars with a roller just to make it decent, and worry about performance. I track my cars, and spending time and money to make a pretty little car is useless to me, it's made to track, if I crash, oh well, it cost me $30 to paint and a $5 Lowes lip that WORKS.

    This is one of the best written threads I've seen in a while. I fix up my car to my liking. Not anyone elses. If they don't like it I don't care. If they bash me, I don't care. Look at the well done show type cars that everyone bashes. When one of them pulls in to a meet or a show, where does everyone flock to? They immediately circle around that car. Why? Because it is bad ass. They may talk shit about it later but while they are graced with it's presence they admire it. Most of the time it is jealosy. If they had the money they would do it, but they dont. If they were to try, they would have a half assed car with shoddy cheap parts, crappy body work, primer cause the paint job is expensive,then guess what, then they fall into the category of TRUE RICER. Therefore it has became much easier to bash it and say how rice it is, to make their car look better.

    PS: Also a lot of the "kids" have never seen a real true nicely done up all out car in real life. It is always more impressive to see it in person than on a forum or magazine where you can't truly see the quality, and appreciate the time and effort put into a car like that.

    I understand it's function, but ppl like you who do not go out and buy parts from retailers who support the scene are a big reason the scene is dragging!

    When you buy a lip from home depot the company that makes lips for miatas isn't seeing any money. So you're buying products from a company that isn't helping the import scene, not advertising in mags, nor forums, nor setting up vendor booths. So you're leaving the company that makes quality parts for your car out to dry and they're suffering, and since they're suffering they haev no money to advertise or to setup vendor booths at local events which perpetuates the cycle.
