When people talk about the "scene" and "trends" and "leaders" it just makes me cringe. You guys make it sounds like high school.

People don't do anything different? I think the import scene is finally evolving to be like other car groups. Motorcycles for example. If i'm on a 2007 CBR RR and i pass a 1980 harley davidson, chances are he will wave and i'll wave back. When i had my 99 GSX-R i would pull up to a light next to people on any bike, and they would say "a damn fine day for riding inst it?" I think alot of the car people in "the scene" are WAY too competitive. they have to be prettier, more original, faster, better, cooler. more everything than the next guy. Don't get me wrong, its good to a point. You need some competition to make people push themselves. but there's just no positive atmosphere i guess is what i'm trying to say.

I guess what I'm getting that is the scene is the people, not the cars. and when you have a bunch of super-competitive DICKS, your gonna have a shit group of people who are dicks and what-not.

Thats why the only car people i tend to hang out with is other Starion/Conquests. We have an understanding that we are more of a family and we stick up for each other. Sure we have arguments and what not, it can't be hugs and kisses all the time. But, over all there just seems to be a sense in camaraderie that i don't see throughout the rest of the import scene. I guess the same goes for alot of the old school fellas. We, the old school guys, know that if we need something for our cars we have to make something work or make a complete one-off part! we can't call a company and order a motor swap or body kit or suspension package.

I'm sorry if this came off as ramblings but i do hope i got my point across. thank you to whoever actualy reads and understands this.
