Sick of the scene

[dvpjdm]

How is it that when I show up to a meet I got some punk that rode with his friend telling me the flaws in my car and what I need to do differently? This scene has turned into nothing but assholes, young and old, rich or broke. It doesn't matter if you're in a GTR or a DA integra your bad attitude makes your car look like shit. I have been in a shop my whole life, and never in my life have I seen and met the biggest group of dick heads like what the tuner and street scene has produced. It sucks to want to sell a car that is your baby because you don't want to be affiliated with pricks. The man makes the car keep that in mind when you're talking shit to someone at your next local meet.

I keep my standards for the import scene low that way I am never disappointed. I don't let petty shit like that bother me because at the end of the day, you car isn't in their driveway; its in yours. Your car is your vision. If you have a conscious that allows that to bother you, then maybe its time to move on to something else to occupy your time. You will run into people like that everyday.

Lol I hate to sound like an asshole, but this is in every car scene and always has been. It will more than likely be that way as long as there is a car scene ANYWHERE. I got told my X needed a bodykit once lol.

Your "X" is missing part of its Roman numeral. There needs to be an "I" in front of it.

Build your car for yourself, and make it what you want it to be. Don't worry about what others think.

[RandomGuy]

it's not a hobby for the weak

[Sammich]

dont go to the meets, problem solved

[big mac]

i know what you mean. or when you dont build your car according to fads. for example most eg you see out there rock the knock off mugen lip. so i went with a cf type r lip. and got people telling me i put on the wrong lip? lol. and yeah the carless ass holes at meets piss me off too lol

People don't typically give my car a second look at meets. I like it that way.

I love going to muscle car shows. No punk kids, No people doing stupid shit around my car. No hood gangmembers looking for something to steal, Every one was nice respectful. No drama. When Im driving my classic car If another classic car pass me I get a wave or a thumbs up. If im sitting in 530 traffic on 85 that has not moved in half a hour if there is a kid in a import they all of a sudden rev there motor like they want to have a suden death match drag race in dead stoped traffic!

[Relentless]

Ah who cares what the hell they think ! I built it for me. As long as it doesn't look ugly to me then I'm good.

This happens everytime I'm driving my teg, but I just give them a very sarcastic look then continue looking ahead or roll my windows up.

[silversol]

Going to other non import related car shows you will see how diffrent things are!

i know the import crowd doesnt like to hear this...... but damn is it true..... I always wanted to take my nissan to the fun ford and super chevy events, the people are so much nicer. The ricer crowd is just ridiculous. The "scene" the "game", theyre all a bunch of faggots. I love cars, but my experiences with the import crowd have made me "get old" quick, something i vowed i would never want to do. The other day i was sitting at an elementary school crossing and had a civic revving up at me like a moron. I felt a combination of being ashamed to be driving a car that even got his attention and anger that made me want to get out of the car and punch him in the face.

There comes a point in time where you supposed to say fuck what everyone else thinks about your shit. Let that shit go thru one ear and out the other and grow some thick skin.

I don't even go to import meets, and I often feel that way about my WRX. I still get the good attention from time to time (asking questions about performance, "cool car", etc.), but more often it's other cars revving at me or mean mugging.

EXACTLY! I hope I can go this years even though I cant take the mustang this year. A Few years ago leaving fun ford my car slung a belt I had atleast 25 folks offering a helping hand.

If it was IX it would be a Evo 9 lol.

Your car is exactly that, your car! Every person is different and every car is different. I have been in imports, trucks, mini trucks and back to imports. Most of the time they complain, or tell you how YOU should build your car then they are probably jealous they didnt have those ideas for their build.

Life in general is filled with idiotic assholes. It's too bad your 2nd grade teacher didnt tell you what mine told me, life is not fair.

[§treet_§peed]

Yea yea yea. Blow me.

[kevint2]

I really think its about what meets you go too..Even if i dont like how someones car looks,i will focus on what i like about it..Very hard when you put hard work in to something and someone shoots it down...My car is not the best looking but i dont care what people think...

[Julio]

I hate to say it.. Becuase I did it. But now a days, I woud be embarrased to drive a modify civic 92+. Don't want to associate myself,, is a shame.

Now, I would drive it stock anyday..

I've noticed (and thinking back, I'm guilty of it) that people seem to only point out what they would change about someones car instead of what looks good about it and what's been done to it.

Sometimes i come on the forum and tell myself "you're not going to be mean today, you're not going to be mean today... say something nice! be nice!"

then the first thread i open has a car that looks like this

Just go ahead and speak your mind

[Doppelgänger]

Maybe because it's that I drive a Miata....but I rarely get ricers fuckin' with me. The few that do, I generally give them a big thumbs down and laugh at them while making the 'finger in mouth/gag me' gesture.

But it seems like there are a lot of assholes in the "scene" these years. I guess that is what happens when the newness wears off. Year back when a lot of this stuff was new and shows were taken seriously, people seemed to be more excited about new cars, new products and it wasn't something that was attainable by everyone. People actually used to care. There is more to it, but I feel that is part of it.

I'm with you on that one. It bothered me at first, then I realized it's kind of nice. The rare few who do check it out or ask questions are always nice and complimentary.

I agree with this. People are more than happy to criticize your (in general, not you specifically) vehicle opposed to providing constructive criticism. I don't feel the quality of cars is really there anymore. Sure, there are those that still care (you and I both) but now all that matters is hellaflush with knock-off wheels and using colored zip-ties to hold your crappy fitting bumper on.
