To all the internet famouse car guys

I met a guy at a car show from Miami. He said down there you're not cool unless you drive a bagged VW and wear skinny jeans. Guess he wasn't kidding.

In 20 years I have seen the BMW scene grow exponentially. I still blame the e36 for this but it was a good thing for BMW. With these newer fans you will have a more diverse crowd, crossovers and individuals with different views.
Personally, what I can't stand is when people buy e30's just to whore them out. People who take, take, take from the community but have nothing to contribute or leave the scene soon after they have "built" their efamous car (with purists help, then have the nerve to mock them.) Then their friend's want to do the same because they think their being different but they are just part of the trend. They tend not to stick around so their cars just get passed around like a $2 hooker. So perhaps I care what they do because they are making the car popular again for the wrong reasons, imo. I remind myself that it's just a car and don't get too worked up about it but I can't help it if it's an M3.

Two words sum up half the nonsense in car culture: Stance Works. The other half is drifting.

Ditto !!!!! couldn't have said it better myself.

and have you ever personally driven a very low car? you act like if you hit a bump the wheels are gonna fall off and its gonna put the car on its roof, yea there are some exceptions but every car ive ever driven that was super low still rode great.. it wasnt meant to do SCCA events just get me where i had to go

[haggardfab]

i understand exactly what hes saying, i have a bagged e30 and ive built everything from SUPER low daily drivers to 3000hp drag race cars for customers, but what im saying is how does that effect him? is HE the one avoiding everything in the road?

it can go both ways, just because HE considered it ruined doesnt mean everyone else does
personally i think cars look WAY better super low but you dont see me bashing people that dont believe what i think is "cool"
Nobody takes into consideration what most of these cars do for the majority of there life, there not meant to go to the track and take corners at 100mph, they are meant to drive down the road from point A to point B and (in the owners eye) look good.. just because they dont fit your standard of what a car should be what give you the rite to bash them for it?

thats funny because basically what your saying is if people do non performance mods to their car its dumb, so basically your "hating" on them for not being into what your into..

No, that's not what he's saying. He's talking about mods that ruin the car. You ever see those kids on the road dodging around every little dip and bump in the road so they don't scrape? That's who he's referring to. Mods that ruin the function of a car (you know, the ability to drive it) are idiotic.

Atleast when the F&F Fad was going on , every "Mod" was done with Performance in mind. To make the Car Handle Better and go faster even if it wasnt executed well. Now "Building" a car is all about all the attention you get from 16 Year old Kids on the internet.

.Every Stancetard is the same, you get more scene points for how undriveable your car is and how much youve ruined it. And then your automatically considered a "Hater" if you dont approve of it.

The whole Stance Culture is now just a bunch of 16-25 Year Olds Jerking eachother off about their ruined cars.

maybe people like you are the root of the problem?
maybe they don't care that you don't like their cars?
your not funding their "stancetard" mods so why do you care so much what they do?


everyone complains about the "drama" in the car scenes and its usually the people doing the complaining that cause most of it, just shut up and drive your cars

Another vote for V@V.

I love it because, unlike Bimmerfest, it's only vintage cars....and with that a generally more mature crowd. No e90s with blasting terrible music through their aftermarket fucking stereos. No e36s on bags. Vintage has interesting cars. Not "listen to what mommy and daddy bought me" cars.

Personally, i believe this is 99% of the "problem" there's two sides to every car "genre" there's guys who restore classic cars back to stock and guys who "hot rod" them, youll always have the purist talking shit that they ruined the car and vice versa.. its the same with all kinds of cars

So what if theres a group of kids who would rather run stretched tires on there bmw/vw then do an overpriced suspension and road race it, its his or her car to do whatever they want.. does it directly effect your life if they get 100000 likes on IG or where ever they post it? if they wanna buy extremely expensive wheels and and destroy their fenders with them does that effect your car?
If people just worried about there own lives more then everyone elses everyone would be happy..

As for the "they dont know anything about cars they just do wheels and airride" you guys clearly dont go to many car oriented gatherings because whens the last time you talked to a middle aged guy with a new vette or camaro or M3 or M5 and they had a clue what the hell was going on.. you dont have to be a car god to own a modified car, if they are happy with it why should it bother you at all?

If said vw kid thinks he's famous....great, let him think that. He'll grow up eventually. We're just as bad as him for calling him out on it.
