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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

[R.Kelly]

[brads94accord]

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.

I look down upon them myself

because those are inexpensive cars for the most part

[devin]

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

[TeeJay]

pretty much true, especially after tokyo drift, the 240 is the "in" thing, im glad i got rid of mine before it got that bad

[devin]

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

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

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.

[Mike Lowrey]

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

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.

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.

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

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.

These people are just close minded assholes. Everyone has different hobbies and if you look down someone for doing something other than the thing you do you are a fucking hypocrite...

that i agree with. most people now see a modified anything and assume vin deisel, or the other stars of the series are gonna jump out. but it's no different than my other hobbies. i get funny looks sometimes cause i have an interest in weaponry, from swords/pocket knives, to bombs/airsoft guns. oh well, people have different interests. i like electronics too. building them, and when people learn that, they normally look at me like.. ...well me and BTEC crakked ourselves up one night talking about that shit.

You get older. you move on. Not everyone is the same, but thats what it boils down to. Own 2 cars, One for everyday use and the other for your weekend/days of work toy. Simple fix.

You dont see the Older Hot rod guys driving there toy everyday.. only bring them out for car events etc. I have meet old guys that I never knew were into cars.
The older you get, the more you apreciate any hobbies you are into.
Younger people " like to show off " their rice burners and are less passionate..
More to show off then really enjoy it.

But honestly, who really cares? Is your hobby.
