    no car clubs arent really unnessacry. Just consider the scene as one big game and in that game you have differnt team. Now in the team the players all work togeather for a common goal or ambiton. So they work togeather as a team to reach that goal whatever it may be. I dont think car clubs are unecessary. they have been around for probaly just as long as people have been modifying cars.

    Like for instance theres differnt race teams or crews across the globe.

    but i can identify with race teams. because its about a race. whoever finishes the line first. clear cut. build a car. win the race

    Car shows:
    whoever has the nastiest paint color, nissan front ended honda, blah blah wins. why?

    Just build your car the way you want to though i guess is the difference. I could care less what the next guy has. I'm not competing with him that way.

    you took the words right out my mouth also you can think it is a direct reflection shown of yours/your teams automotive caliber and and passion for the autmotive scene. wether you be a show team "elite" or a street team "1/4" or a mix of both "xlr8shen" you and your team stride to be known and your teams named carried with respect.

    Car clubs remind me of F&F, goto the new club forums and just look at some of those clubs... Just listening to them is pathetic.."I be rolling with such an such, and we be family" tell me thats not F&F right there!!

    Im for sure not in to the car show scene, I think it is pointless, cause most of the cars are way out of hand now. A car is made to go, not to sit! I know most of you are prolly like..."well I drive mine a lot" well great, but there are plenty out there that just let them sit in a show and sit in the garage!

    I was a Bristol last year for the nopi race and I seen a sweet vette in the car show(some of you mighta seen it) the thing was spotless and built very well... Full cage, racing seat(1), supercharged, CCW track setup(wheels)
    And we asked this dude(old guy) if he had any times on it at the strip...he said nope, then we said what tracks(road course's) have you been to? He said this thing is all show!
    I mean come on....that to me is pointless!

    But the point is a cage,track wheels, and a blower dont mean shit if it doesnt roll.

    That stuff is intimidating because of what it CAN do when used. Not sitting in a parking lot.

    Building a show car doesnt make sense to me with TVs and Playstations. Build a box, a little kids bedroom if you want and put it in a parking lot if you want to show all the electronics you have.

    Exactly. I think if your car looks good and is fast you dont have to band together to make a team. Especially if you are the Michael Jordon and there are a bunch of fuck ups on the "team".

    This is when the sport gets divided. The lack of respect for what people choose to do. If we build a show car, and WE decide not to drive it everyday, how is that wrong, we spend good money to get it the way we look, and driving it all the time, will fuck that up, with rick chips, door dings, etc. I drove mine daily for 5 years now mine sits unless I drive it to a meet or show, But ya know what, Thats MY choice. You dont ever see show people bashing anyother side of this car scene, yet its always everyone else who shows a lack of respect to show people, But yer we are all supposed to be in this for the same thing, The passion for cars.

    The only reason car shows get bashed is because there is no excitement, besides the loud system, or the air bags, or maybe spinnas spinning... just not fun to see "Any More" its a lil old now!
    You said it right... that we are all in it together for the passion of cars... I myself would rather see the cars in action!

    Well again, its all personal choice, some are into go, some are into show. Regardless at the end of the day we are all in it for the same thing. I personally love car shows, love the people at shows, Granted I have seen some tasteful show cars and MANY tacky ones, But still, I love the show side.

    Ok. Your car isnt fast whatsoever though. Who cares if it doesnt move?

    A z06 with a blower and cage built for road race that doesnt even turn on is gay.
