Calm down. I never said being a great customer was a bad thing.

Although doing it yourself is not always the same as taking the cheap "cut corners" route.

I work on my own shit because I'm obsessive and don't trust anyone else to touch it.

no worries i must have misunderstood.
and yes i agree doing it yourself is not always the cheap cut corners way i was just trying to show the other extreme end of things.

i would absurdly LOVE to work on my cars but unfortunately life gets in the way :(

but by that token anyone who works on there rides is a cheap grease monkey and neither have anything to do with being a car enthusiast.
what is Jay leno, or any other guy who has 4or 5+ toy cars that he cant work on or have the time to work on them (like myself).
i have over 42K into my vert y do you think i did that? because i wanted it done right and in the hands of someone who is much more capable then i am.
if you can turn a wrench well then more power to you but im not looking to take the cheap, cut corners rout sorry.
this argument is just silly what the hell am i replying for....

That's a track car
Function > Form

It's meant to be driven on a track, so if something breaks or there is catastrophic failure, no one will be injured, or the is an incredibly diminished chance of anyone being caught in crossfire.

On a street car though? If there is catastrophic failure, get ready to pay someone's repair or medical bill

I don't have anything against a clean lowered car, but there's also retarded shit to be found in those threads, too. It goes back to my post of how I think stretching the fenders ruins a car. I don't understand how somebody could bring themselves to compromise such a clean car, but I guess that's what happens when you're infected with the Stanceworks mentality.

I don't see how any of these cars would be enjoyable to actually drive.

Fenders can be rolled and modified to look fine with some work depending on how crazy the fitment. However, I noticed many people simply don't bother. I have seen many stance cars with burnt up (yes burnt) rear arches because of constant rubbing. So let's not pretend everyone is doing it right either. Who knows...maybe they plan on putting flares on later but I doubt it. Maybe he figured it would clearance itself out...lol. There's still many, many people out there who are all about stance first and foremost....by any means necessary. Form > function.

Shitty fenders aren't only relegated to "stanced" cars ;)

I'm embarrassed to own an e30 disappointed in the community, I'm out.

They still are.

We must be browsing different StanceWorks Forums...

That was the whole front page of the Showroom subforum. No cut springs to be accounted for.

The rear arches are so stretched and shitty looking that it's completely distracting. I don't see how those wheels and slammed stance make up for it.

Messed up fender arches... http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=48955

Again... Nice car but my eyes are immediately drawn to the warped/stretched fender arches. :-?

I am an opinionated douche

I just hate people making judgments based on claims that are entirely false.

[mulletman]

In my opinion, it comes down to this.

I am not obligated to like something just because it is car related, or someone else is enthusiastic about it.

They are not obligated to consider my opinion at all.


I don't give a shit what anyone else does. If I think it's dumb, I won't do it. All I ask is that they extend me the same courtesy of not giving a shit about what I do or think.
