    barrett can be really really lame at times, but no matter what happens. some ppl will always think that what they do to their cars are cool, even if it is the most ugly body kit you can get. you cant get rid of it. plus everyone has diff opinions of what is clean and what is not. but i agree with blank cd, there are a few cool ppl at barrett, you being one of them, but most ppl there fly up and down walmart and ****. i dont even go there anymore. just go to starbucks, and avoid all that ****.

    This just in, I am out to change the Barrett Pkwy scene. Those few of us out there who are cool and dont do ricer FWD drifts (or RWD drifts for that matter)and blare your music out of your stock systems w/ just tweeters deserve to have a spot to chill and observe and talk shop without your life being at risk of some dumbass integra coming around a corner at 90mph understeering into your torso. Those of you will be hearing from me. and you shall spread the word and together we can leave the ricers at walmart.

    The "Old days in the costco parking lot?"

    The Old days are when we used to hang out BEFORE there was a Costco on Barrett. Or US Play. Or D!cks Sporting Goods. And when it wasn't called the "Starbucks" Parking lot because there was no such thing but there was a Baskin Robbins in that parking lot.

    blah.

    I just remember coming up here in 2002-03 to visit Allen and hanging out on Barrett. On any given Friday or Saturday it was a circus with cars everywhere. Lots of fast LS1 cars. Half a dozen supras. Lots of racing.

    now its just junk everywhere I look.

    The REAL old days were the 99-00 years when the Big Chicken was the meet up. Barrett from the late 90s til the present has always just been a haven for suck. Later, QD.

    Barrett was the inspiration, but im just talking about the half-assed-ness in build quality and the idiots that come with them in general. A lot of folks buy junked up cars, throw a motor in it in their basement and say they're done. Though it still looks and performs, in some cases, worse than original.

    And most people these days over use the word "Clean" when it doesn't even apply to the vehicle so most people who think they aren't ricers still don't know what "clean" truly means.

    dude this argument has been repeated over and over for like 4-5 years now. to many people building their cars to try and impress other people rather than doing what they want for themselves, people being stupid and mostly uncreative.

    most of us will never be race car drivers, so by your argument why bother building a car?

    The problem lies there. When everyone is buying the same car that everyone else has, it's hard as hail to be creative. Later, QD.

    race cars are one thing, the stuff that people drive on the weekends and daily drive is another. Sure if you have a race team and a bare shell of an EG. by all means build it to race. And sure, do whatever you wanna do with the car, but be tasteful, and do it right, and dont half-ass what you do, and finish what you do.

    Do you think people set out to make their car intentionally ugly though? No, they build then how they like.

    Of course not, but like i said, people do what they do and say "done" and its half assed and some stuff just doesnt make sense!

    Case in point: Theres a 2004 Pontiac Vibe out here in Kennesaw, rattlecan black paint job. stop right there. im not even gonna go on to the other tasteless mods on this car. more than likely the thing isnt even out of warranty yet, and most likely not even paid for!!! what was the point? to make it worse, it looks like he did it in 30 minutes. Imagine if you will a WHITE 2004 Pontiac Vibe rattlecanned black w/ walmart spray cans in 30 min. Can you imagine what that looks like? So maybe he likes the flat black color. Save up some coin, take it to your local body shop and have it done professionaly so that when it rains, it doesnt bleed off. See what i mean?

    And that is just one example of many cars ive seen with the lack of creativity, and the lack of common sense when it comes to this
