I made a thread in 03 where I talked about how the "show scene" was going to ROT and fall a part. I decided that Nopi 2003 was my last SHOW ever.. which it was.

I showed my car for 5 years..who knows how many shows up and down the east coast.. and When I quit showing, stripped my car, went to Mahdavi and they did my swap.. I only had the car for one more year after that.. Shit, Honestly I had never enjoyed that car like that one year alone.

Even though, After I made that thread on IA about how the show scene had it days and years numbered it stayed strong for 2 more years after that.. But by 05 we knew where it was going..

Now is dead and not the same.
There was a lot of competition back then, but at the end of the day, we will all "for the most" part, be cool..and still friends.

I look back and think, damn we were some idiots spending all that money on those lame ass cars.. damn, what a waste.. But you know what, Who Am I to judge.. I really couldn't, I was part of it.

Waking up at 6am to have a the car clean for a show at 9am that morning.. But mind you, we had spent the whole day before cleaning and waxing for the event.. crazy times indeed.

Back then it was more about the car and not the person.. Now you go to a meet and you see girls 1/2 naked and dudes trying to show off there gear or new phone or camera more then there car....

They drive in shitty ass Civic or 240's, literally with no paint, but have $200 pair of jordans, a $800 camera and $500 phone... and there $25 Green A-town hat to the side.. Is more of a fashion show now a days..

If they see me at a meet with slipper or flip flops I may get laughed at.. or made fun in one of the individual groups...

Is not the same.. why? Time is not the same.. Thats why I enjoy going to these Hot rods shows lately , because to most of them guys and gals out at those shows, is about the car, not them..

I also, enjoy going to the drag strip as well.

I never enjoyed drifting, cause I knew it was a fad.. there was a lot of hype when it starting blowing up in the states.. But where is it a now? Not as big any more.... hnmm...

I don't think it will never be the same, I honestly don't care if it does.. I know personally I'm not the same, so... it wont for me no matter what...

Even back then there was a difference : there were properly built cars and those that were not built right.... Of course for show..

What I like about all those crazy days and nights cleaning cars, shows and meets is, I meet a lot of cool people and some that till this days are still friends...and when we see each other is always a good 5 to 10 minutes conversation just catching up.. because I understand life is not what It was years ago... We grew up..Some got married with families now..

And in the middle of all that "controlled chaos " Importatlanta was born.

Honestly I'm not involved any more as I used to with events eh, sometimes, and if it wasn't for IA I would probably not be around any more.

So with that said, When if, IA ever vanishes of my hands.. I wont be around.. move on.. I got phone numbers to close friends and some of them do to..

So really, Life changes, Not the actual passion for cars.. The passion will be there for some... Is just some of us just have no other choice but to move on...

The new guys today will be feeling the same way in 5 to 10 years from now,
" all the good old days " at the point, some of us today may not even be around, shit, we may be driving shitty cars or better cars.. Life is like a Spin top.. You spin and spin and spin, but you will never land in the same place...

To me, is not even about cars anymore.. Is other things now that make more sense..

Anyways, enough of me rambling.. just thought I share what i thought about all this yiba yaba..

Couldn't have said it better myself...

ya'll were before my time. Its funny cause when i was in AZ no one was into body kits, at least most werent. it was all go, no show. Scene was totally different, prob cause i was closer to the west coast which always had a strong "street racing" cred.

WHen i came out here in like late 02 early 03 it was weird seeing all the body kitted cars, but thats when F&F blew up and it started to take over.

My first CRX was all bodykitted out, thank god most people never saw it from here. It was nasty.

**yogi08** · 01-20-2009, 01:34 AM

vteckidd, post up the crx you speak of.

if i was older, i wouldve probably had a honda civic with r34 front bumper and wild paint. hell i remember when i was 13 thats all i wanted and i told my parents many times i dont want a new car i just wanted a honda civic LOL. luckly for me, i had my own money and my mind changed

Holy shit!! Good pics DP.
I remember that trip. Almost everyone was already in Pigeon Forge before Jimmy and Kathryn even left Atlanta. They had to wait on UAB to finish stuff up. (and her taillights still didnt work right), then Justins car messed up so he couldnt bring his. And Shawn (Silver Integra) almost hydrolocked his shit on the way up in the pouring rain. The parking lot was cramped for the show. We, Xrated, won like 5 or 6 trophies if I remember right.

I spent a lot of time in Pheonix skreet racing (First time I met Juggernaut was after I walked his ass). But I doubt is was that car. After I sold the 17yr old kids wrecked it the first week he owned. Then took off my custom painted taillights and put on altezza'a.

Then parked it around a telephone pole. I heard he was planning on fixing it, but I dunno. Guess he couldn't handle the NNAAWWWSSSS

Edit: Also before I sold it the "Z3" fiberglass was gone and back to factory panels and had Canadian Si rims...

**OG-Skinny** · 01-21-2009, 07:26 AM

damn i need to go get all my pics scanned. I have stuff from Crica 1996!

Terrible paint, terrible interior, terrible mods and engine bays with more color than the rainbow. They induced vomitting in 2002 and they will continue to do that.

Even this forum has gone to the more 'clean' look. There are many a Honda Civic on this forum that I would drive to and from work. It wouldn't suit me as a track car but I certainly would not turn my nose up on driving it. The 'rice' has mostly died off. I see one a week right now.

The 'show scene' is not really all that dead though. There are still owners that are dumb enough to bolt, screw, glue and weld on as much point stuff as they possible can. Even on bimmerforums there are a couple of guys that have 'show cars' as they call them and they are absolutely terrible. The idea of 'Let's tack on as MUCH stuff as possible' is still alive and well.

Not one of those cars every looked the way it did before sale date ever again. Later, QD.

Maybe all of them except Jeff...last I talked to him, his was sitting in his garage in pieces
