2010 predictions...

[OnURleft]

I predict software for twin turbo SUV's will gain popularity and people will be enamored when software only X5's and Cayenne's turbo's are trapping 120 as they are doing 112 stock
I also predict cheap BMW's will continue to grow in the street seen as the amount of Turbo E36's has been getting absurd in the last year. I can think of 5 more that are now roaming around in the last 3-4 months
-I also predict track popularity will grow as people are learning how to actually get to a road course
-Honda's will still fart like there's no tomorrow, and cleaner, faster one's will also be showing up more and more
-Classic cars will become MUCH more trendy as cash for clunkers killed lots of them, making harder to find older cars way cooler to have.
Alabama's inconsistency will make the Texas AB game very interesting to watch (is this in 10' haha??)

Cash for clunkers did not kill anything that could be referred to as "classic". The cutoff year was 1982, they didn't take anything made before that. Maybe they got some '80's Monte Carlos, Caprices, and Crown Vics off the roads... but those vehicles are like cockroaches anyway. For every one you see theres 40 more you don't and they also carry disease.

My predictions for 2010:

1.) More "hellaflush" poke and stretch. The coolest thing on the street will be putting a 165 tire onto a 10" wide wheel.

2.) More crappy boat trailer wheels (Diamond Racing). More fake rat rod primer/flat black/rust paint jobs. More cars looking like they were built from parts found in the dumpster behind Tractor Supply.

3.) Probably another F&F movie. Brian and Dom go undercover in Atlanta to investigate the violence at the Pleasant Hill BP and Riverside Sonic meets. Expect to see lots of Civics, 240's and hard parking.

I am sick of seeing rusted out 72 El Camino's being dubbed "rat rods".

Just rattle-canning your POS black and putting red steelies on it DOES NOT MAKE IT VINTAGE!!!!

I agree with this 100%. Also with the rusted hoods. You can't fake patina.

Which doesn't mean you can't have nostalgia with the 80's/90's cars. I don't see why there aren't more "period correct" projects. "JDM" wasn't cool when the '89 Civic was new. You guys know how people modded these cars back then?
