That doen't matter about your car Brett, what matters is that you and I, as well as others on this site know what it means to put the CUSTOM in customize. For we were around when you it all had to be custom, and the work invovled. Some of the newer generation just need to have there eyes opened to that fact and they will enjoy it all the more.

You may not have the car that shaped the atlanta scene but you have the personality to help shape us new kids.

You as a person helped shape the Atlanta scene! You could be driving a 74 AMC Javelin and it wouldn't change that!

ia.com was the best back in the day when i owned my 93 civic coupe........a guy i never had met in person or talked to very much took the time to come by my apartment and take me to home depot to get a star socket set so i could get my damn steering wheel off...........then later that person stayed around to help make it a neon booger lmfao........


i had alot of fun back in the day even though i NEVER owned a modded car......my shit was ghettofabulous but it was fun to do cuz i didnt care......i had never seen a neon green car before the night pat and i decided to spray bomb mine Grabber Green........i drove it out to a meet at starbucks one night and everyone was starin like WTF did this fool do!?!? then were more surprised that it was spray paint......but ya know what? not ONE person bashed me or the car.......we all had a good laugh and most people knew who i was from that and it was all good.....i met a few kick ass peopl from this site that i am still friends with 4 yrs later.....now it seems everyone wants to act hard core and be a ethug to everyone thinking they actually scare people. I also remember riding around on the top of the NopI Jimmy van with a cam corder at the meet near the mall of georgia.......those days were fuckin great!! like i said i was never known or will be known for owning a highly modded car but i was and am always willing to help someone with something if i can, most people that drive the cars around now no NOTHING about it other than they paid someone to do something to it......
jimmy and jeff T. spent alot of time in the shop helping build their cars, not just handing over money to make it what it became.....everyone now thinks if they pay a shop to slap a kit and bondo on their car it makes them a serious tuner......it doesnt......just makes you another car with the same kit as the one that jjust passed me 5 minutes before

Its fun to "customize" parts and have to fabricate shit. No one told me how to do an auto to manual in my old hatch but i took the time to figure it out and now 3 of my firend have done auto to manuals in their cars. I love working on cars nothing makes me happier(well nothing makes me happier wiith clothes on.) I tried to work on cars for a living and just couldnt do it. It just wasnt the same I enjoyed it 100 times more when a friend would call and ask me if they could come by my house and use my shop or have me help them. I take just as much pride in my friends cars as i do my own.

I miss the old scene. Some of the best years of my life chillen with the old Perfected Images crew. Driving to Partay Forge in the middle of the night to pull straight into a show that was at least 115 deg F out..... Working for days and days straight on rides to get ready for a big show. And people didnt try to pimp the exact same setup for 10 years and "swear that ish dope yO". The scene is MUCH younger than it was back when I was in it. 17 year old kids driving mommy's grocery getting accord with a bodykit & neons bumpin...... LOL

ok I have work to do so I'm out....

Brett, ask anyone in Allstars, its 50% car , 50% the owner. That is how we also view )the scene. Any A-hole w/ $$ can build a car, and alot of real cool guys are not in a place to spend $$, and we all can understand that.

I like Ellingwood have deep import roots w/ East Coast Honda, (and way earlier...We showed a 85 accord in a national show in 1989...and won) I was able to share in ECHs lengthy success, and I personally was one of a few guys who shut it down when the time had come. Go out on top mentality.

IMO, To be an OG you dont need the baddest car, If so there'd be one OG. You dont need the most knowledge, just real world experience and an open mind to absorb everything around you, and help make changes for the better so todays new guys can have the chance to be OGs themselves. Ex- I remember Josh Nixon first hittin the scene w/ his dad at shows in his red civic (before the LS swap and the JRSC....well before the sweeeet Teg). Now look....OG to the fullest.
I may not be OG, but I remember alot, and I wanna look back on today years from now w/ fond memories too. Ya dig?!

I agree with this whole thing 100% except this down here:

YOU are not an OG?! Are you kidding me?! Total BS. You are more of an OG than I am!

(Notice that we all talk down about ourselves? lol)
