So we should divide IA into two site one regular and the othe Adult ImportAtlanta. Members 25+ can only join ? lol

no because age doesnt always reflect maturity.

Blank.cd for all our disagreements can hold a conversation outside of "cool wheels bro". We always argue political views in the other forum, while i may disagree with him, he demonstrates he has a higher level of learning. To me at least.

I dont think anyone should segragate anyone, i just think the younger crowd needs to set their standards HIGHER. Associate with better people, quit being followers and start being leaders regardless of what other people think.

Like i said, my old roomate took a PIECE OF SHIT 1992 LS400 Lexus, slammed it on the shittiest coilovers he could find for the cheapest, bought $450 KNOCKOFF BWM wheels off ebay, and put some CHINESE tires that cost $90 a piece for 19s, and people actually thought that was "building a car" and it was "cool". most of those kids hang out at starbucks on barrett. I dont know who is worse, the guy who built the car, or the kids that think its cool.

Both show how idiotic and stupid the "scene" has become

[silversol]

Its like Gregg that is on here parting his car out. He used to brag about how cheap it was to build his K24 EG Hatch because he wanted to argue about how awesome a bargain hunter he was. He said he had less than $5000 in his whole car (which i knew was a lie). THEN, he posts a thread parting his car out and specifically says "NO LOWBALLERS" and acts like he is insulted at people offering him little money for his parts........wait.......isnt that what HE did to other people?

The majority of kids on here have NO MONEY and they dont want to SAVE more money so they just try to haggle people to death which does drive down the price of EVERYTHING. Quality cars get lumped in with shit cars, quality parts get devalued by replicas, etc

Theres nothing wrong with paying a fair price for a quality part. Nothing wrong with negotiating, but theres a difference between being thrifty and being BROKE. Case in point i sold some MINT Rotas few weeks ago and had them listed for $250 (50% of what they go for) and they had $400 in POTENZAS on them. I had people offering me $100, or "hey will you take the tires off i need 2". really? I finally dropped them down to $100 and they sold in hours, and i STILL HAD PEOPLE LOWBALLING ME $75 for them. When is lowballing lowballing, and when is negotiating now being a dick? I dont know but i think that was pretty absurd.



I read that , that was pretty shitty. Some business decides to have an event to help the local people out and people use it to steal from them. If i was garage zero id never have another event again. Same thing happened to mainstream, we had a huge dyno day, and hid everything of value, then week later someone hopped the fence and stole $20,000 worth of stuff. BG had it happen IIRC someone stole Dan Kangs wheels off his car after a meet.

Who wants to operate with a clientele that refuses to pay your prices, wants to haggle you out of business, then rip you off when you try to do something nice?

Yeah i know that story with the wheels. I use to put shit up for stupid cheap just to get it out of my way, Im sure alot of people called me a dick and hated my guts when I would get a call from people offering 75$ for 400$ wheels I would just hang up on them, It was easy to just throw parts in it my dumbster then wait and deal with assholes to give shit away. Just like your rota wheel I know and you know it was not about the money You did not pick up a overnight crack addiction you just wanted them out of your way.

I can honestly say I've never ran across a classic car enthusiast with the attitude that mine is better because I spent more. In most cases they understand and value all the time and effort you put into your car because they themselves have done it. If a car is done right regardless of make and model appreciate it for what it is. If your car happens to be a piece if shit with a fart can and slammed on DOODOO wheels don't expect any compliments. Unfortunately this is more and more the direction the import scene is heading in which is why a lot of folks have bailed on it. When did it become cool to do this veal to your cars? At what point did we stop using proper English and complete sentences to communicate on here? Apparently I missed that particular shift in the scene. Where is the pride people used to take in doing things the right way. If your car is an extension if who you are what does yours say about you? I guess I'm just to old to understand anymore.

mods got pretty aggressive. site got boring. just didnt really show its worth anymore so i left on got on other forums where the community was strong and people/mods were may more helpful and informative

I think what goes on here and the typical Import Alliance meets is indicative of only a small portion of what goes on really. If I choose to hang out in a parking lot with a bunch of high schoolers and their cars, I dont expect to have a conversation about stocks, 401ks, and nest eggs. For me anyways, I go to see dumb shit and people hit poles with their cars LOL I honestly havent had time or energy on the weekends to go out though lately, but I still will go to an import meet because I have friends there and I do like seeing and talking to some of the owners of other cars. I occasionally get someone that comes up and asks about mine, thats what it really is about. Plus, I dont limit myself to this site. I hang out with the S197 (newer Mustang) guys, and most of them are about my age and if not older, quite a few of them hold jobs in law enforcement, and public safety such as firefighting, its just a matter of what group you choose to hang with, but I dont want to come on here all high and mighty and say that Im better than anyone just because they dont drive a nicer car or have the education level as someone else. At the end of the day we all can agree we love cars, boobs, and anything related to the prior.

I ran into a Lamborghini owner a while back at a caffeine and octane meet one time. We got to talking and he mentioned how alot of ricers started showing up and ruining it for all the exotic guys. I assumed he was talking about the Evos and the STIs and the S2ks and what not because I haven't been to a C/O meet and any beat up Hondas showed up. So I told him a lot of those guys put in a lot of work building those cars (regardless of what they looked like) and you kinda just wrote a fat check and got an out-of-the-box race car. Lol

[Nemesis]

So I told him a lot of those guys have a bigger penis than you too.

Fixed.

Last C\O meeting I went to I saw quite a few Hondas and some other crappy stuff ... Saw a couple of real nice s2000's,STI,Evo's and a few others..

If I could drop the money on a high end, I would.... Mostly anyone would for that matter.

Mike and Travis keep adding nails to the coffin... I have a friend who's 22 has a real nice g35.. Ad I ask him if he goes to meets ? He says.. He doesn't like the crowd.. Mostly because of what has been mentioned in this thread. And he's only 22... and he sees it.

Bottom line is, if you have to attend car meets to be a car enthusiast.. I will continue to laugh at that.

I dont expect that either, but eventually, you HAVE to grow out of the "im here to see some awesome CRXs" phase dont you? I mean you went from that cougar body kitted out that we all laugh about now to a much more expensive car, and much more tasteful right? dont you agree you grew out of that phase?

dont you think that your tastes at 18 have changed 10 years later? you shouldnt be hanging out with the same crowd at 18 as when youre 30........not IMO. I get what you are saying sometimes you just have to take it for what it is, but some people also cant seperate it. I guess im one of those. I guess when i started going to meets and started going "WHY AM I HERE" is when it stopped being fun for me. I also worked IN the industry so maybe that changes things too.

I wasnt bad mouthing you or people that still go to the varsity per se, im just saying that eventually people HAVE to move on, grow up, start doing other things. or transition their tastes to something different.

For me anyways, I go to see dumb shit and people hit poles with their cars LOL

Which is fine, but i got tired of the 60000000 people showing up, not being able to park, people starting fights, guns being pulled, cops booting cars for what? So you could look at a few cars you have seen a billion times already? you may get enjoyment because you have a car people like and talk to you about, but if youre like me and just have a DD, it stopped being fun. IMO of course.

I honestly havent had time or energy on the weekends to go out though lately, but I still will go to an import meet because I have friends there and I do like seeing and talking to some of the owners of other cars.

I guess thats where i differ, i dont have any friends into cars anymore. I became friends with people that dont care about cars, but share other interests like sports and such. So i have no ties to there anymore.

I occasionally get someone that comes up and asks about mine, thats what it really is about. Plus, I dont limit myself to this site.

Which i wasnt saying. Just because you say "the majority of the Honda?Acura/import scene has people that are of lower intelligence isnt being mean, thats just the truth. It adds up if you look at the things that Travis and i posted about. Julio said so too. you said yourself you go to meets to see the dumb shit people will do, so you kinda agree with me.

Im not being high and mighty at all , and im not only friends with people that make XXXXXX dollars or have XXXXXXX education. What i mean is, most people in life start off at PLACE A and work their way up and onward. They transition from low to high. The car scene from my experience, and many others, seems to have a certain floor when it comes to brains, and that floor is set low. As most of us get older, wiser, smarter, etc, they dont seem to follow, or a vast majority of them dont.

I tend to have friends that make the same money i do so we can enjoy the same things. when i made $XX,000 a year at Mainstream and BG i had friends that made the same amount , when i moved upward i transitioned. things change, peoples interest change.

I guess what im really starting to realize is i never really CARED about cars as much as you guys do. Im perfectly fine never modding another car again. I never cared to drag race, or track race, or auto X. Drifting was a lost sport to me. I liked street racing, but i choose not to do it because with my job my clearance could be revoked if i got arrested.

At the end of the day we all can agree we love cars, boobs, and anything related to the prior.

I like boobs, cars, not so much anymore.

They should have kept an Archives of old threads and you can look back at your old threads or someone elses to find something or look up something. BUT THEY WERE ALL DELETED! now there's no OG THREADS. But I still like IA sometimes. Seems people have gotten a lil raunchy with comments and I guess everyone is bitter when it comes to anything modded between 80-2005. I guess its been done before or it just doesn't pop anymore. It's like watching alot of porn, and trying to have sex with your wife later on that day. It's kinda hard cuz she's not popping like she use too.

Whew well thats all I have. Love you guys. CLASS OF 06(sign up date for IA that is)
