Car Clubs unnecessary?

**RUSH** · 02-14-2006, 11:19 AM

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!

People build cars for differnt purposes, his purpose was show, now its his car and his choice, if its a nice car why knock on him for his choice?

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!

**Brett** · 02-14-2006, 11:39 AM

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.

yeah i have no probelm with the show aspect of the scene, some people hate car shows or say it fucks the scene up but what they dont understand is without car shows most of these big name companies will be out of business. that means no more parts for your car.

That's cool. I'm not bashing. I just asked whats the mentality behind the car club.

But a zo6 with a cage and a blower that doesnt get drivin is still lame.

See you guys at the friday night meet. Now don't stab my ass, I'm a little guy.

**Brett** · 02-14-2006, 11:51 AM

I wont have my car at the meet at this rate, supposed to rain that night, and me being a show guy, I wont take my baby out and get her dirty...LOL ( Yes I am serious ) lol

** Mental note: Shank lil guy with white Galant at meet

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.
