Feelings on the car scene?

[bluuuurr]

Do you ever get the feeling people judge you and look down on you for your hobby? For instance, when I'm driving my 240sx through my college campus, the looks I get from the "general public" seem mixed between "wow, he must think he's awesome" and "take it back to high school Junior."

I don't rev the piss out of my car, gangsta lean, or scowl at every other car that drives by. But, I'm immediately associated with that crowd the instant I pull out onto the road. The typical car guy, from my perspective, is usually fairly uneducated, short of cash, and too focused on trivial things that won't get him anywhere in life. That's what usually pop's into my head when I see your typical modified car driving like a dickhead.

I mean, if I showed up for an interview in even a heavily modified, super clean Supra or Muscle Car, I don't think I'd be taken seriously as a respectable person. What are everyone elses feelings on this?

No.

240 = civic

I know what I drive. I'm saying, even the nicest civic/s13/mustang whatever is still going to be looked down upon by the general public.

^^its true, fuckin fast and the furious has fucked the whole scene up for everybody.

[quickdodge®]

Your a fucking tool.

Why is he a tool for being right. Dumbass. The 240 has pretty muched stepped up to the side of the Civic as a dime a dozen. Later, QD.

~sigh~

Truth hurts, fuktard.

[TeeJay]

I meant modified cars in general. This has nothing to do with my goddamn 240.

[devin]

i understood what you meant, but everybody has to hate on somebody for something on here.

[bluuuurr]

~sigh~

Truth hurts, fuktard.

The truth is that I certainly hope I'm not trying to pick on kids on the internet when I'm 30+ years old.

[Jimmy B]

yep.. modded cars = kids... or messicans, and not the cool ones like ricky.. the ones like speedmonkey.. j/k...

but even with my dropped 'burban, i feel looked down on, end a cop called me getto!

im selling, and getting a stock SUV, mabe with wheels... its time to grow up!

So? You're not going to do shit to stop it. Original poster started the "hating" you speak of in here. Later, QD.

[SniperJoe]

Your a fucking tool.

Ah, the blatherings of someone who doesn't know Rich.

\P.S. It's "you're" not "your". Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Why does it matter how old you are?

Or, are you a 30+ year old with the brains of a child? Explain human.

It's not picking on them. It's setting them straight. You should listen to people that have actually lived a real life and not go by what you see on CSI. Later, QD.

uhhh no, i wasnt planning on trying to stop it......

[GIXXERDK]

I look down upon them myself

[quickdodge®]

Well then don't worry about it. Poster asked for comments, he got one he didn't seem to like and made a dumbass reply to it. The response that Rich gave was in no way intimidating. Later, QD.

For one thing, you've offered nothing to this discussion. You come in here and try to show a stranger up for no apparent reason.

If anyone here has the brains of a child, it's you.

[Mike Lowrey]

Psst, Stan. Come here and look at this idiot w/ his 240.

[thinkfast®]

I LOOK DOWN ON RICERS AND MO FOS TRYNA RACE.. ONCE I HAD TO GET OUT MY CAR AT A LIGHT FROM REPEATED MEAN MUGGIN, I SLAPPED HIM AROUND A BIT, HE DIDNT GET OUT HIS CAR THOUGH (GWINNETT IS FULL OF CHUMPS) ANYWAYS THE NEGRO JUST SO HAPPENED TO DRIVE A BEAT DOWN 240, WHATTA WIMP

Nah. I believe you overreacted to his reply. Later, QD.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[bluuuurr]

No, I started a thread on modified cars in general. What he replied was a personal attack. I didn't overreact, I just find it really annoying that people have to act like dicks over the internet for no reason.

Actually, I have contributed to the discussion. Please re-read my first post in this thread.


You asked if I felt people look down on me for being in the car scene. My answer was "No". <-----This was my input.

I then added, what we like to call "my opinion". This opinion just happens to be shared by very many others.

That was the part........240 = civic


I hope you have followed along with the above information. If you have gotten lost along the way, please let me know. I will provide cliffs note for you.

Not really seeing the attack. It's a true statement. You overreacted. And it's just as annoying, I guess, to see people get all worked up and serious over people being dicks. Over the Internet. For no reason. Later, QD.

ALLRIGHT THAT IS ENOUGH! STFU!

THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS SHIT!

The only way you could Cliff note your first reply is:

because those are inexpensive cars for the most part

[thinkfast®]

I WILL NOT HESITATE TO CHOKE SOMEBODY OUT

[Mike Lowrey]

WHITE POWER!

[Kyle]

People don't seem to understand the car scene. People can't differentiate people who know what they are doing and ricers. I have friends who called me a ricer. I have a GTI? Just cause my car is loud?

[civic95]

Why care what other people think?


I mean I think guys that watch every football game possible in a weekend (college+pro) are wasting their time.

I think people that spend $150 to play a round of golf are wasting their money.


As they think I'm wasting my time and money on stupid stuff. But it still boils down to it's their time, and their money. Just like its my time, and my money. People that look down on you for having a hobby different than theirs are not people I'd want to be friends with anyway.
