You're missing the mark dude, you're trying to lay down a blanket statement that you have ZERO support to back it up with. I'm not saying young kids don't do dumb shit. I am saying you are wrong by targeting a specific age demographic and pulling figures out of your ass. How about we say blacks, mexicans, and all other minorities aren't allowed to attend because they drive these "$500 rice rockets"? Same concept, you can't make assumptions like that, it makes YOU look like the moron. And since you like to name call, you're the moron who used "your" instead of "you're".
You really must be part of that demographic as your defending it so hard. In all the years I have been to shows its always the kids under age that do the most dumb shit. I agree there is morons north of that age...but the vast majority is below. I think you really are just blind to it.
To the last sentence...did not realize this was GrammarCheckAtlanta.
Hell, I can think of a perfect example. Years back after a really old and fun meet was closed down in Buford back in 2006, some high schoolers tried restarting it in 2008. Well Doppelganger and myself went to watch this get shut down. One of the most funny and proven meets ever. Almost everyone that showed were high schoolers...after numerous burn outs and "honda sliding" a rich kid decided to park his WRX in a ditch...while we stood at the top of the hill and laughed. Go to more events and pay attention. You will see most of the dumbshit is done by kids and ricers.
Meehicans fight at gatherings damn who knew....
LOL at all of the age comments, Im 18 and i dont try to burnout in my JDM front integra and its not a $500 rice rocket. I had alot of people come up to me and tell me that they really liked my car just saying.![]()
GOT VTEC?
Hell I wish mommy and daddy bought me tires to roast and gas to burn. I simply cant afford to drive like a dick.

I remember doing a burnout at a meet when I was 17 In my POS Camaro and a cop gave me my very first Ticket. If they ever invent a time machine i plan on going back and kicking my self in the balls....
haha I take that back I've done one

I've done a few burnouts at car events before............................................ ..in the waterbox before I lined up at the tree.
i dont know if id say 21, but definetly sub 25 for sure. THat doesnt mean ALL kids under 25 are morons, just that the majority are lol.
That last video is exactly the crowd im talking about. I watch a video like that and im like, WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT TO BE AROUND THAT?
I dont need it, i have much more fun going to hawks/falcons/braves games than car shows.

I actually didn't have a problem with the guys lighting it up getting on the highway. I've done that sometimes by myself without the cameras
And its kinda what people from C&O do and they aren't young for the most part.
LOL at the few cars that almost lost control and the peg leg burnouts and fails.
Lol @ this thread.. This video is funny, i only watched 2 minutes, and all the cars doing dumb shit for the most parts were the hondas... Lmao...
I have more important things to do with my life.. I enjoy cars..but will not waste my time anymore.. The new breed today are hands down worst then before..
I called this back in 2007...
There are responsible and mature car enthusiasts out there.....they just aren't at Import Alliance. This is one of the reasons Caffeine and Octane is at 8am, these ricer kids are up all night drinking fourloko's and smoking "the pot" so they don't get up at 7am to attend a car meet, which is awesome.
Yeah I miss my Civics but mostly just the gas mileage and dependability not modifying hell Civics have been driven into the ground. Only reason i see people still modifying civics is for the older ones its rare for me to see a New one fixed up. Honda went to Chick car looking with style and ended those days IMO
I miss my civic. It wasn't a hacked up piece of crap. My son wants one and I promised him we'd build a decent one with a K motor. I don't think there is anything wrong with them.

I truly do miss my old CRX (circa mid to late 90's). Nowadays it would be considered a total rice mobile... I had an Aerogear "Predator" hood, Z3 fenders, Monster Autometer tach on the dash and Motegi MR7 wheels (if you haven't owned a set, you ain't down).
(The Wings West bumper was painted to match the rest of the car after this pic was taken)
I also had a two stage Nitrous system and put 386 to the wheels from a built B16. I was the king shit for a while. Now those power levels are laughed at, but it's easy for kids these days to follow in the footsteps of others and improve. Hell, I remember making my own "cold air intake" because no made one for a '87 Acura Integra. Import aftermarket only existed if you had a VW Bug.
lol.. dont get me wrong.. i often had thoughts of finding my old EK and buying it back.. but then what.. lol
Right there w/ you Echo.. Wings west back in 1998.. Rice Rice baby !
99/2000 or so.. at the Big chicken..
2003.. Big time car show days..
I said to myself much time wasted being a ricer..and stripped it and sold it.. 04
while trying to sell the Ek.. i found a good deal on a salvage EG, bought it.. $300.. rebuilt it, LS swap.. Spent about 1700 bucks to rebuild.. EG's had so much demand, I sold for $5100.. talk about a nice profit.. Both civics sold in the same week.
I do miss the red EK.. however times have changed.. back then we had idiots, but today I see worst idiots out there. Not worth me going out.. I may go out here and there and check some cars out... incognito though..
We were all big time ricers.. I rather stack my $$$ and spend on other things..I have a few more payments to finish paying off my Vette, once that's payed.. and if everything works out, going back to the dealer and picking up a S2000 or a C6-Z06. Im leaning more towards the s2k.. not sure if I want to have 2 vettes.. but I don't know.. what I do know is, I doubt I will modding anything any time soon..
Very Well Said Sir. People are FUCKING IDIOTS these days. and the most of them have their nose so far in the air and their thumb up their ass that i cant stand them. I could not have said anything about this better. And I Absolutely Love the End Statement. Great Callout
Seriously... I would still rock it in that final trim today. Still looks better than 98% of new cars.
I'm looking for another beater right now. Seriously, a truck I could give two shits about. Because I really don't need four cars, but the cars you don't care about always end up being the best.
I mean, my Miata isn't the greatest. But I don't owe a penny to anyone for anything except monthly bills. Freedom is indeed a wonderful thing. Sure there are days when I think to myself "myself, a super/turbo charger would be the bee's knees". But then I think about all the pain in the ass it is to upkeep and why would I want to make my car unreliable blah,blah,blah.
Most Miata owners hate me because of the teeth, and glow in the dark wheels. Because Miatas R serious bidness don't you know. I just want the scene to be like it was, everybody helping everybody. Seems to me that vibe is only with the old-schoolers now. But I digest...
Lol my 02 civic had white MR7s. White on white baby!

I wanna jacket!
We should make our own club. Kinda like the BloodMasters, but more awesome.
We could make stickers 'n shit. And If your not cool you don't get in. So far everyone that has owned up to MR7's is cool as hell.
As would be expected.
Naturally.
I had 18s...blue underbody neons...and about 1200' of blue wire loom under the hood.
When i sold it 5 yrs later, i took all the loom off and it looked like a brand new motor. Bonus!

Im confused. Is it MANDATORY to take up multiple parking spots if you have shitty enkei wheels? If so, I need to stay away from those because my wife would kick my ass for taking up more than one parking spot. She red headed and pregnant. And a little looney sometimes. (keep this on the DL for the love of god)
