You are still missing the point. Back then when we had meets, people didn't have to babysit other people so everybody didn't get kicked out. The now infamous Barrett Pkwy? Yeah, I was one of the people that started it. There was usually 5 of us in the parking lot at Texaco, which is now a Shell station. Then everyone had to move over to what is now Starbucks, and not because of stupidity or being kicked out. We were blocking traffic into the gas station. The K-Mart meets at the big chicken? Always AT LEAST 75 cars there. Every Thursday for years. Then the younguns came around acting like assholes and Marietta Police kicked everyone out and guarded the parking lot so we couldn't come back. That shit is not OUR doing.

Yeah we still, have those idiots that do that.... but we can't let them stop us from havin fun right???? if anything if we catch up to em..... drag em outa the car and let him know how u feel about it.... Yeah we get harassed by cops and we may have been given a bad name to the Domestic side.... but look at how many members IA has.... they are out there.... the scene musta went to the internet lol

See, back in the day, you really didnt see people out that much. We ahd cars that were legends. Jeffs Civic. Jimmys Accord. Kats CIvic. Peters Mustang. Marshalls 240. Brooks's Eclipse, LOL. Its fucked up that people didnt get to see, I really think you gotta be there to appreciate it. Im reading the thread and I can see you how might be getting pissed because you are saying that it could be better. But the whole mentality of the scene is different now

Im not talking about anyone in general. Back in the day, you seen people that were SERIOUS about cars. Take into consideration that we all arent that old. But where do you think average kids who lived in average houses got the money from to turn their average accord or civic into something widebody and custom kitted? It wasnt mommy and daddys money, it was from working 2 jobs while you were still in school.

See, a lot of people see the scene as the "in" thing. Yea, they might get a kit, some wheels, a system, but they arent going to take it further. Have you seen some of the cars we are talking about? These cars are Balls Against the Wall modified. Do you think those people are out buying the newest Coldplay CD, 6 flags on the weekend, 5 XBox games a month? Hell no. There were thinking shaving, molding, glassing. Everybody is serious until they have to spend money. NOtice how most of these hardcore tuners now are successful now, because they know what it means to work hard and sacrifice. Thats why people are ragging on the younger generation.

You have people who will fake the ambition around friends, but the hardcore tuner is the one who will pass the $300 Abercrombie jacket for the $20 one at Walmart and spend $280 on an Super AFC. The old scene had tuners who were willing to stay up for 24 hours straight to work on their cars and then go to work. The old scene had tuners who would go to Daytona with $15 to go to a car show. All of this shit is true stories from when the scene was solid.

Thats why IA is the way it is now. Some have sold their cars, stopped tuning as hard, etc. but they were around and still knew what everyone went through. Its respect. Now every kid in atlanta thinks if they have a name on IA with over 1k post then they are hardcore tuner.

You hit the nail on the fucking head, Frank! That is EXACTLY what we are saying.

And Peter, that kid in the beemer kept on it because it made the tires smoke so he could be cool! LMAO

well shit, I use to do that....but I never hit any poles.....

[BTLFED]

well shit, I use to do that....but I never hit any poles.....

Must I discuss the difference between the two? LOL

I would like to make 2 quick sidenotes:

1) This thread should be archived
2) You guys are awesome for keeping this a civil debate

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress.

[AznTraitor]

oh yeah? civil?


well let me turn the tides....

F YOU E! your car was uber ghey, and that hairdryer you called a turbo couldnt get out of it's own way.....

Jimmy, I could out skate you in the dark! I could give you a head start, and then take a nap, eat some lunch, bang some hot biatches and then start skating and beat you!

QD, my MGB could out handle that neon.....granted it only has 69.5hp....it's a torque monster with a rev limit of 6k rpm....and the leaf spring suspension was the bomb....with the 185/70/14 tires.....ooooh boy, talk about grip!

Great post from the original IA asshole.

Thats the biggest problem now and with the people in it now.

I made a reference to something like that in another thread. People that have a few hundred posts and go to some meets think they are IA. It was the OG topic that I was making that comment in. I admit that I don't know a lot at all about tuning. I just drove my car in my races. I had a mechanic(my bro-in-law) take care of it for me. I helped him out. But I was at every race for two years. I was at most every local show and a few out-of-towners for the following two years. I have been on IA since it was 4 months old. I orgainzed one of the meeting spots for IA meets for about 6 months. I haven't been much help in the technical side, but I have been a supporter for these past 4-5 years. I know everyone, everyone knows me. I'm not a hardcore tuner, but I am a hardcore IA OG. REP that shit, yo! Lolol. Hopefully, what I typed made any sense. Later, QD.
