150hp doesnt sound good like 400 hp etc, etc. theyve earned it, argue if u want, but simply put a car that makes alot of noise is expected to go somewhere quickly, and its kinda gay and pathetic when a car is loud and u look and it can barely move. there IS a difference.


not saying i dont like hearing powerful civics, but those are like 0.5% of the entire "modded" honda population.

there's an old saying..."if you can hear it and still see it....it must be slow".

however, it dont matter what you have...you shouldnt drive like a douche in a parking lot, i dont care what you drive.

i knew it had to be him..lol...not too many Mystic chrome Cobras around here in that kind of condition. i think it has less mileage than 4500mile on it...he was around 2100 or so just this past summer. good guy, shame it happened. he hangs out with us sunday nights from time to time.

thats just retarded...you make it sound like just b/c a vehicle doesnt have as much HP as another car it wont kill someone if he gets out of control?? you're the one sounding retarded. any vehicle that hits someone has the potential to seriously hurt or even kill someone, regardless of its power..geez. its funny that you think this way though...makes for good reads.

Amen to both of these. I rarely go to meets anymore because I usually wind up embarrassed by the time I leave. There are too many young fools out there, acting like imbeciles, and I have absolutely no desire to be associated with them. It's gotten to the point where I don't even like admitting that I'm into the tuner scene -- because 'outsiders' automatically look down their noses at me since they assume I'm one of those fools. And I can't really blame them for that -- the vast majority of the tuner crowd these days DOES consist of people who deserve a good kick in the ass.

I was just out to lunch with Brandon and some of his coworkers yesterday, and one of his coworkers made a sneering sort of comment toward me (since he knows I'm a car person) about 'punk kids with their pants dragging that hang out at car meets'. I didn't know whether to crawl under the table in embarrassment, or punch him in the face for thinking that I'm one of those people.

It's such a shame that today's younger crowd has no concept of respect and the value of hard work. I can only hope that there are still enough decent parents in the world that we don't completely lose all the 'old school' morals.

Everyone, I never said it was ok in a parking lot. Notice how I said "turns out of the lot" IE NOT in the parking lot, or school zone, or neighborhood, community playground or w/e. I'm talking about on a 2 lane road that usually is what the best buys and othe shopping places we meet at.

Stop being all hopped up on mountain dew when your driving like a drunken red neck and people wont be haters like you guys are on us "ricers".

more like look and drool. cobra > some silly civic hatch.

[03SVTCobra]

thanks for understanding my rant guys. and yeah thankfully he got the marker off the paint. i guess the silver lining, if you will, is it was only a marker and not a key that went down the car...

The fact that this has turned into an Import vs Domestic thread just goes to show how much The Fast and the Furious really does run in your guy's blood, no matter what you say!

Like Bryan said, personally I'd rather not see anyone leave like a douche at all but going WOT in a 100whp civic and 500whp cobra are 2 different animals, because if something happens, the civic is going 40, at which point the cobra would probbably be at 80 and those are VERY different to handle, granted I'm sure the guy driving the Cobra can handle it well, it's still stupid regardless of what you drive. Why act a fool and chance wrecking your car, nobody cares about the slow POS cars that come and the cars that are fast, we know they're fast without having them leave like a bat out of hell.

If the older crew gets a meet at a local watering hole I'm down just let me know when and where. I could always go for a few beers.

It's sad that there dirtbags are giving the younger crowd as a whole a bad name. Some of us out there do appreciate a good, nicely modded car regardless of make. I would NEVER deface someone elses posessions, it's sad that my generation has come to that. Why can't people have respect, who do they think they are. I had soemone hit my car in the parking lot at school and keep going, its horrible to have to deal with things like that.

Also,i know what you mean when people look down at you being a "tuner." the first thing they assume is that i have a "ricey jap" car, but when they actually see my car they stop thinking that.

And this whole import/domestic thing is so out of hand. SO you like your types of cars and i like mine? Why bash eachother then? Why not respect each car for what it is?

totally agree bud. im a chevy guy but i drive a nissan, im 17, this whole thing give the young crowd a horrible image.. the lack o respect these days is horrid. when it comes down to it 99% of us are all related in the fact that we all are gearheads no matter what make/model/age/race/sexual preference WHATEVER!!!!!! someone always has to ruin a GOOD thing

But its no the ENTIRE younger crowd!!! god i totally agree with you.. but it takes one or two screwballs with $700 hoop-dees to give not only the younger guys bad names but the entire tuner scene

[JankyS13]

lol and i was actually thinking about going to this meat this coming week since its close to my house.

is there any meets where there isnt the kiddy rev engine, do burn outs and turn your stereo up locations. you know where people have respect for their own and other peoples property?

[newdesignz]

HA! great

[GPtuner]

new sonics opening up in greenbrook, NJ you guys outta check it out and start meeting up there


someone spitting on your car is absolutely retarted, it just proves there parents are useless, no one in there family cares about them, it also shows they have no respect for themselves or anyone else.



Best thing I can say is that KARMA IS A B1TCH and ALWAYS catches up with you

That's why I started using the term Automotive Enthusiast. It has less of a negative connotation.

[jpalamar]

Glad the car was able to be fixed. No matter what, when you get a group of people together for anything, something is bound to happen here and there.

[CleanNeon98]

Yea I hope it doesn't turn you away from the Thursday Night meets, just park together, there's less nonsense those nights anyway.
