Lifestyle or Not?

[kaotickaozpunk]

how many years you've been in this game..me personally i've been in it since 96'....so what do you guys think is this whole import racing thing a life style or is it a hobby and passion which you wish to accomplish and please your self...me personally i think its a hobby and a passion...its always been...ever since the fucked up movie "fast and the furious" came out it fucked up everything for everyone..more idiots came out with the clear lights and the euro's...thats annoying...i got to admit when i got into the sport it was like that for me...but as time went on i knew that its about how fast you can go instead of how nice you want to look...i hate this whole shit how every dumbass out there is making this a life style...people jacking shit, the neons, etc...its fucking it all up for us...before will be like california where having an intake is illegal..well i hope i made a point clear..so what do you guys think..life style or not?

I've been lowriding since 1989. It's a lifestyle for the people that make a living doing this. For the enthusiasts, this would be considered a hobby or passion. I don't really care for it too much anymore. I want to mess with an old school ride and drive it and that's it. No more racing, no more showing for me. Too many people fuccing this up for the real folks all around. Later, QD.

Definitely a lifestyle. I've always been an enthusiast since I was a little kid, was always amazed with cars but I didnt get into the import scene until a couple of years ago, before then all I read was Motor Trend and Car & Driver. I LOVE the scene but the select few of dumb asses tend to ruin it for me when it comes to car shows, meets or whatever.

A lifestyle would something that helps support your life. If you have a job at a place such as WCC or Batlground, it would be a lifestyle for you. Or if you were a professional rac car driver...that would be a lifestyle. This is just hobby for us that don't make a living off of this. Later, QD.

i agree on that...i just think this whole game is getting out of hand with all this mumble jumble stuff....making it hard on the true enthusiast

[Kathryn]

I disagree. You don't have to work in this industry in order to have it be your lifestyle. If you dream it, play in it, love it and would do anything for it. It's your life, therefore your lifestyle. I have been playing in this industry since I was 15. I could never stop loving it, I am it. It is my lifestyle.

Same here for me its a hobby, a passion, and a lifestyle, becuase i work for money to work on my car! Also i dont see why people think Fast and Furious messed it up, all those cars you saw, besides the main actors where peoples real cars, and alot of them where very nice.

to me it's a passion/style. passion b/c I really love driving in the mts going as fast as I can and huggin' the turns like a fat chick on a cold nite . style b/c I like to do things to my car just b/c I like the way it looks.
however I do hate it when som highschool kid in a civic pulls up next to me and wants to race. of cousre I feel much better whn I dust his azz :idb:

You missed it...

Lifestyle- meaning you wake up in the morning wiping the drool off your face from the exuberant amount of power the car you dreamt about made. Then you drive to work seeing a 430 modena on the rode hoping for that to be your next ride. Then you hear a song on the radio talking about shifting into 5th gear. Get the picture yet?

It's not just driving int he canyons' once a month or street racing some kid in a car you knwo you can beat. It's about dreamin it, thinking about it, making plans, DOING it, and looking to contribute to it anyway possible.

You breathe it like that's your air.
You would die without it.


Get it now?

Maybe that's just how I feel.

I didn't mean "life style" just part of my Style. like if someone likes to dress a certian way. I roll a certian way.
I get it allright, when I pop in the GT2 sound track it's on! :idb:

Ok take the Fast and The Furious out of your DVD player... Let's try reality.

you guys just watch, racing will die out slowly...it will not be as hot as it is of right now...just like break dancing...it died out too...only the real guys kept up with it..as of right now even the mags...sport compact magazine seems to get thiner and thiner..while gay mags like super street and import tuner seems to get thicker thicker and thicker and those mags has some of the most stupid articles ever..it does not even contain hard core articles about tuning rides ..

Racing will die out? Hmmm Let's go back to the first American car race...
November 28th 1895- Wow it's really dying out? Do you even own speed channel?

why cause people makes it a life style or i say a trend and the what does its polotics want..to keep they gay fans happy.....all they want is a riced out car and a model to stare at all day..i just cant wait til b16's drop down like how like it once was 600 hundred or so for a whole swap....well thats something i have to say..hope its understandable..:jerkit:

WTF is that? TRANSLATION PLEASE?

[PSINXS]

i actually agree with every one of Kathryn's post in this thread. I got started in 94 when i frst seen a Supra. I was only about 9 years old didnt know jack shit about cars. but it always stuck with me. and when i hit 15 all i could talk aout was cars. I have been iinto imports since 15 and i do feel without my cars in my life i would die. U should see how depressedi get when my car goes in the shop and i dont s ee it for a long time. I feel a part of me is missing. This isnt jsut for fun or because its the"in" thing. This is my life, my personality. I dont see myself ever stopping becauseits something i enjoy. i doubt imports will die out and even if they do i will continue on with it because its what i like. Cars are not a fad IMO

[turbosx©]

the things that are a fad are exterior stuff example:wings,extreme body kits,neons,tint,anything that makes ur car look or seem or sound fast.thats the fad imo
