Kind of wondering the same thing.

Aesthetically it's ugly.

Excessive camber, the fitment sucks, and those are 18's -not to mention the body is haggard.

It is low, and does drift, so I do like it.

You're not sick. It does suck. I really cannot find anything interesting anymore about the scene. It's all the same ****, and people just keep lapping it up

[InvisibleMonkey]

Here's my annoyance with the car scene (more meets in general). You get these high school kids that show up in their mom's BMW thinking they're hot **** driving around like assholes, or you get retards that throw an exhaust on their car and think it's the fastest thing on the road. I'm honestly getting tired of meets. I miss the quality that used to come out. Maybe it's just because of the weather but I'm legit tired of seeing same bull**** cars that come to meets.

The car scene sucks.

Build a rad car, do rad things with it, and don't give a **** about what anyone says or thinks about you.

That is the only way we can save the culture.

It's the TriState area that's gone down the ****ter. Florida..Texas..and Cali are still going strong with top knotch builds.
East coast lacks the access to good weather and quality parts. We get the **** end of the deal and no shops over here are up to par with west coasts standards.
You want a tuner scene? Move or Start building right the first time.

[Foolinaround]

Thats why im moving back to florida when im done college lol.

I agree with you about 50%. Cali has the smog Nazis on a state-wide level. The "sick" cars coming out of there are shop cars, track-only cars, and slammed Miatas because as soon as you put an non-Carb exhaust on your car, you can bet a LEO will pull you over and flag the car for a tech inspection. Good luck with having a swapped or modded car out there. The West Coast scene is just as bad as it is here, except for the weather.

The South, though, has an absolute ton of shops and sick cars because that's where they can play year-round, and Florida and other similar states have pretty lax inspection regs, if any.

There are sick cars coming from all over the country, but you have to look for them.

[Foolinaround]

There is no inspection in florida. None,0,nada,nunca,cero.

A guy on mr2oc just pm'd me asking for me a few more questions about my car,he wants to ship it to new mexico?

[Vinny]

Absolutely. There's a fair share of well built cars around us, but, like you said, you have to search and a majority of them are show cars. However, Even with Cali's inspection laws they still manage to have well built cars and their meets are of quality and not quantity. You don't see pictures coming from the west coast of half-assed built cars but you sure as hell see them coming from the east. I'm not knocking on anyone, but I'm just saying east coast needs to step up to the plate at some point. We can wish, argue, and hope all we want, but that does us no good if we don't make some legitimate attempts at our own cars.

Get up on your reading comprehension, broseph; that's what I said.

I think we're essencially saying the same thing now. I was just attempting to present the D.A. side of things.

[Foolinaround]

You said pretty lax if any,i was just letting you know that there isnt any brosef <3.

And to dude who posted below me,I used to live in florida,hence why i said go back,i loved it.

[InvisibleMonkey]

I'm tired of seeing bull**** at the meets. Like vinny said we have a lot of **** that shows up to meets. Not that my car is perfect or the fastest thing on the road but I'm just tired of the haggard riced out cars (I'm not specifying cars but those that were with me at the garage know what cars I'm referring to.) Showing up to meets. I'd rather see 5 quality cars show up than have the garage filled with what's been coming out.

Idk if that came out wrong but what I'm trying to say is; I made my friends through the local meets and it's stupid when people bring their friends who obviously aren't into cars or are an extremely casual car enthusiast.

[Fujito]

What's wrong with you guys? Car meets are meets, not shows. People go to hang out.

The East Coast has plenty of nice cars. California is gigantic, so it's not fair to compare.

[Foolinaround]

I understand where james is coming from.

I started the garage though as a place to come hang out on Thursdays,for people to meet new people to network, and just to chill. I'm not an elitist when it comes to cars,and that's why if someone wants to bring in their riced out neon for now I don't care. Maybe, when they see higher quality cars they will re-evaluate their own and build something sweet.

[Fujito]

I don't think that will happen. Car meets are what they are.
