Sick of the scene

[CHADbee]

*sigh*

[Sinfix_15]

i expect you to be one of the ppl that op is talking bout

Nope. I'm usually on the other end of the ricer assault when i go to a meet. If i see a interesting vehicle, i stop and talk to the owner to give compliments. If i dont see any, i go home. When i do stop, it usually takes about 15 minutes for 10 civics to challenge me to a race, in which i go home. The biggest insult i give to someone's car face to face..... is not stopping. Unless they ask for my opinion. That's the difference in public and this forum...... EVERYONE on this forum is asking for my opinion when they decide to post here.

I know they don't make me. I'm 19 years old and built my car from ground up. There's not a punk around Georgia that has done what I've done at my age with no help from mommy and daddy, and I would love to own a muscle car, the problem is those old assholes have no respect what so ever for 4 bangers eating up those V8s, I guess it's came to the point now where I'm just gonna sell my car and go get a Ducati, because the bike scene is nothing but good people that are happy to see you out there and happy to see you doing good. Car Scene needs to drink less haterade, when I'm done with my car again and you see me and have something to say, my reply will be let's run em. So try not to be in your boys DA lol or his cute little all motor (couldn't afford any faster build so I'll call it all motor) civic.

[dvpjdm]

It's not that the shit talking is too much but have a little respect when you come pedaling up. I had this dumbass tell me I need a camber kit while he's looking at my drag car. Lol come on people like I said I'm 19 and have more common sense than that.

[dvpjdm]

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.

My 2nd grade teacher once said if you have nothing nice to say then don't talk. So I'm guessing the problem is none of these assholes made it past 1st grade.

[dvpjdm]

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.

Couldn't have said it any better.

Muscle car crowd has no respect for you because you say things like this. All of you kids are the same, you think because you out ran "that one mustang, that one time" that "4 bangers eat up v8s" you could go to a track on any given weekend and find 15-20 street driven mustangs/camaros that would make your car look like it was dragging an anchor. Also, there's a lot of "punks" in georgia who have done more than you. I was running mid 7s at the local 8th mile before my 18th birthday and paying for it from hanging sheet rock and framing houses..... my story wasnt unique............ lot of people doing the same thing, so i'm not sure why you feel like you're some modern marvel because you're 19 and can work on a car. The import crowd gets so butt hurt about people "respecting" them..... you drive an integra..... nothing wrong with an integra, it may be fast it may not be... bottom line is that a lot of people just dont give a shit about your integra or any other integra.... If you enjoy then enjoy it, quit expecting everyone to like what you like and you'll probably be less hostile towards the domestic crowd.

PS, bike "scene" isnt any better. Just like every kid with a RWD car thinks that he's a drifter.... everyone on a bike thinks theyre a stunt rider. Buying a Ducati isnt gonna get you the "respect" you're seeking either, so save your money and get a jap bike like the rest of us.

[Black4DrEK]

This topic is always talked about.... WTF get over it, DO YOU! That is all, DO YOU.

[Potter]

I drive/modify my car for me, no one else. If someone likes it, then cool, if not then it doesn't phase me. I haven't really had many bad experiences in the "scence". Sure its amusing when the 3000gt with the Ferrari emblems rolls around the Varsity revving and burning the clutch like there's no tomorrow but things like that aren't going to stop me from going to meets. It may be because I'm young. I doubt 5-10 years from now I will feel the same, but for now, I'm enjoying it.

[Doppelgänger]

Reading the OPs various replies in this thread.....yeah......I need not say more.

[ISAtlanta300]

.... If you enjoy then enjoy it, quit expecting everyone to like what you like and you'll probably be less hostile towards the domestic crowd..

THIS Is what it boils down to. Couldn't have said it better. A lot of people in the crowd buy cars just to be 'in' with the crowd and maybe look good instead of buying what THEY like to drive. If you like domestic, go for it. If you like imports, more power to you. Heck if you like to drive SUV's, then go get one. All these kids need to stop buying unpainted honda's, slapping some stickers and expect to be 'respected' at Honda meets just because they have a Honda too....

Stated perfectly.

[bu villain]

Unfortunately the muscle car/oldschool scene isn't immune either. Put a ford 302 in a Chevy and see if you don't get some sideways looks from some of those guys. I will make fun of other people's cars all day and people will probably make fun of mine. It's all in good fun though. I would never tell anyone they should do anything but what they want with their car no matter how hideous I think it is.

Not saying that all 4 bangers can beat v8s I'm saying that theres not that mutual respect for just having a bad ass car. I'm not some marvel I work my ass off like everyone else and take everything I have as a blessing, I got jap bikes I'm just saying I'd like to have a Ducati. My case and point is that unless you are at the track or about to race there's no need for being a dick head. I don't care if you think because you have a rwd that you are the next drift champion or that every motorcycle rider wants to be a stunt man because we all have stupid dreams, I'm saying have a positive attitude to a fellow man, I don't think I'm saying anything far fetched, I don't seek respect I give it and earn it just like everyone else should. This post is obviously being takin the wrong way or at least by some, other people have said they know where I'm coming from, I'm not trying to please the masses or argue on a forum just stating how I feel.

I tried to read this and you have never ending sentences. Couldn't read this all and make sense of it with all those commas and no periods.
IDC about that just letting you know.

Now;
Everyone has different taste. Some like American cars, some like European cars, while some like Jap cars. There are people that say they will never own an American car. Some say they will never own a Japanese, etc...
Some respectfully express that, while others run their mouths simply because they don't like it. So, I am on your side with this. You can't let that get to you man. Build what you like, the way you like it, and that's that. You'll have some that will like it, some that will hate it.

I would also get pissed off if a kid with a Type r Integra swears he can beat me because he beat another turbo 240sx (which I have heard before). In this situation, I understand why some of the muscle heads feel that way about your v8 eating 4 cylinder.

IMO, as long as you stay respectful, state constructive criticism, and don't disrespect anyone's car, or disrespect them at a personal level, you will be respected, or at least treated the same way!

I got told my X needed a bodykit once lol.

oh gosh here you go again.

if youre worried about getting your feelings hurt or your car not appreciated, dont go to meets. pretty simple. just like anything else in life.. some people will be cool and some won't.

Fuck the scene.

Picked up a friend, drove 3 hours north, beat the shit out of my car all day on the Tail of the Dragon, lost the clutch pedal like 5 times, murdered the brakes, drove 3 hours back.

Cars aren't about the scene, if they are to you, and you just want to mod a car to park it in a parking space to have other scene people look at it and judge it......well then you're a faggot.

i feel you on that. Some of my most joyful moments behind the wheel of a car are on a mountain road at 2 in the morning on a tuesday..... certainly wasnt sitting in a parking lot having teenagers inspect my car.


how many cops on the dragon? i want to ride bikes up there but dont want to bother if there's a cop posted up on every corner

[green91]

Exactly, this is why i've still got a Honda to play with. Where i live i basically have a mini mtn run just to go to work. Much more enjoyable to have the car to thrash through the turns than my truck or other vehicle.

I was up there from noon-sunset and saw one cop parked on a pull off, I came by him doing 15-20 over and he didn't move. MOST of the time, as long as you're on your side of the double yellow and you aren't drifting they kinda let some aggressive driving go.

It is a blast, but it goes for all forms of driving; drag, autocross, even drifting(which I'm personally not a fan of). Cars are meant to be driven and we modify them so the driving experience is more enjoyable not for the "scene".

got mixed reactions on the bike forum, some people said they stalk crotch rockets some days. Give people tickets for doing 35-40 in a 30. I'm not a daredevil.... but there's absolutely no way im doing 30mpg on a bike unless im driving thru a school zone or passing road construction.

I know they don't make me. I'm 19 years old and built my car from ground up. There's not a punk around Georgia that has done what I've done at my age with no help from mommy and daddy.

Like I said this "scene" whether it be in the middle of the mountains(eat my nuts chad)or in a parking lot you all find time to hate on someone else, instead of just loving the actual vehicle itself. Thank you all for proving me right. Lol I shit you not you all win an award for being funtioning dumbfucks. Congratulations lol

I think dvpjdm is whats wrong with the scene.

But more importantly the bottom line here is that Nissan makes the best cars on the road and if you don't drive one you're gay.
