    Default What's the next big "trend"?

    Seems lately a lot of threads I look in, there umpteengagillion haters making fun of others peoples shit. So if rice is rice, and JDM is the new rice. Stock bodied cars slammed on painted OEM rims were never "clean". VIP is played out as well TE37 & CCW wheels. Just curious...

    What are all you young, hip trend-setting ballers doing? I don't want to be left out.

    honestly newest trend i've seen is influx of HS kids in their parents rides showing up at meets... one advantage to this is HS boys girlfriends

    seriously though last sonic meet i went too had probably 5 miatas in a row and kids look like there were 16 wearing pink polos and shit.

    Yeah, but you didn't really have a choice back then... Your choices were what??? Eagle Alloy 5 star rims, or the God awful 3 spoke Pantera(sp??) rims. OEM's just looked better.

    You missed a set, homeless. Remember there was also the Prime 5 star wheel. But yeah, it was about painting the hubcap too then. Later, QD.

    I just watched one of my old 360 videos (you young kids won't understand) from '99 maybe it was 2000... Battle of the Imports, Import Showdown, the beginning of HIN (before it sucked). LJ Garcia with his H22 wide-bodied hatch on hydraulics...


    I miss those days.

    bigger wheels coming back..
    Chrome still making its way back
    Proper Vip will never be played out ... certain cars maybe..but vip itself it aint goin nowhere! But it will start to stray away from black only cars, and subtle lip kits. And start getting wild.
    Civics are loosing the fight pretty hard
    S2000's/G35's/350 and any other car that used to be 30k, that is now almost 10-15k will be seen alot!

    evidently the trend is going to continue being "i have a stock car and i'm broke, so since i'm angry about my suck-fest life i will tell you about everything i DON'T like about your car"

    the people who criticize the most tend to drive the biggest piles of shit. hopefully the trend will turn back into positive support for fellow enthusiasts.


    sorry about the serious moment, but i really do get sick of kids telling the people who are actually DOING something, how to do it or why not to do it or whatever their useless opinion happens to be.
    Who knows?

    I have the answer to this.



    Mainstream people will have completely OEM bodys, With just modified engines and probably a set of rims. Eventually it will get to the point where only the top sports cars will be modified, this is happening; Only cars on magazine covers: 350z, s2000, Evo, Sti, Mustang, civic.

    This can be speculated from looking at the muscle car era. What muscle cars do you always see? Mustang, Camero, Nova, Charger. All the other cars from their time being filtered out.


    Hell I dont know..
    Got a MINI? Don't talk to me.

    To be honest peoples tastes and cars have gotten so bad, I have pretty much ran out of things to SMH about......

    Now, I just smile and if they like it, so be it.

    I have a coworker that has been out for a couple of days because he decided to get a vasectomy after just having his 3rd kid. Lately since he has been out, I have been his backup and have covering his work. Today he came into the office walking like he has been saddled up on a pony across the dry desert lands of Arizona on a cattle run or something. Legs all bowed out, he can hardly even sit down. And im like...

    "man what the fuck is wrong with you?"

    and he says "man, after that surgery my nuts have swelled up SERIOUSLY into the size of a fucking orange!"

    "well I have been doing all your fucking work for like 4 days, so im calling shenanagans....pics or it didnt happen!"

    and lo and behold this little fucker pulls out his cellphone and says "I KNEW you were going to say that so my girlfriend took some pictures last night" and let me say this bastard was not lying!

    his nutsack literally looked like someone shoved a garden hose into his bag and just filled his sack up with water like big overfull cow utter. The shit was horrendous! and he wasn't kidding...his balls looked JUST like a flesh colored orange.

    needless to say I feel a little gayer today than I did yesterday.


    And somehow that has something to do with the newest "trendz" big swelled up ballsacks is all I got.

And im like...

    "man what the fuck is wrong with you?"

    and he says "man, after that surgery my nuts have swelled up SERIOUSLY into the size of a fucking orange!"

    "well I have been doing all your fucking work for like 4 days, so im calling shenanagans....pics or it didnt happen!"

    and lo and behold this little fucker pulls out his cellphone and says "I KNEW you were going to say that so my girlfriend took some pictures last night" and let me say this bastard was not lying!

    his nutsack literally looked like someone shoved a garden hose into his bag and just filled his sack up with water like big overfull cow utter. The shit was horrendous! and he wasn't kidding...his balls looked JUST like a flesh colored orange.

    needless to say I feel a little gayer today than I did yesterday.


    And somehow that has something to do with the newest "trendz" big swelled up ballsacks is all I got.
    I had my vasectomy 4 years ago. w00t! I am on the cutting edge (pun)!!!!
