    We should respect all car enthusiasts. Even those that put 26's on caprice classics? After all, they are "into" their cars. How bout the ones who stick fake vents and reverse their rims, or put crazy pep-boys spoilers and neons on their cars? They love cars, they absolutly LOVE them. So we should respect them right? What about this guy?


    He is the ultimate car enthusiast, so maybe we should respect his "style" as well....
    Give me a break.
    Have fun on your site kids. Watch your oilpans, and your rear towers.

      Many of them, yes. They're enthusiasts. They have their own style. Do you like it? Probably not. Do they spend time, money and effort to do what they enjoy? Yeah. And I bet you could ask any of them about it, and they'll tell you everything they can. They know their shit. I know this for a fact, because I've met a lot of them in ATL.

      If they spent time and effort, learned about it, and just happen to be in to the crazy custom body kits and such, then sure. I can respect it. Do I like it? Not at all.


      See where I'm going with this? Cars are cars. People do what they like to them. I can respect all work and effort that goes in to a car.

      I may not respect the bondo-covered broken-buddy-club-kitted fart-canned primered-and-reprimered dump on wheels, but its because that person isn't an enthusiast, they put no work in to their car, and they know nothing.

        Na, I see what you are saying, i think I look at this 7 kind of like that. The owner I am sure put more effort into it than the buddy club guy, but at the same time, it is still overboard IMO. I can't get behind a dumped 7 series. I just cant. It would be like doing it to a Jag, or a big body benz. It just doesn't match the car.

                  Exactly.

                  1. A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster.



                  Seriously, most of the cars in that magazine are retarded. It's worse then Eurotuner. It's just a bunch of cars lowered to the point where they can't be driven because they can't go over speedbumps, the wheels are .001" away from the fender, etc... When I look at them, it's rice to me. I see a car that is useless.

                  I don't know, I enjoy driving my car the way it was made to be driven. Not stopping for every bump in the road, hitting small dips in a highway and flying out of my seat, and sitting in a parking lot "looking cool" with racing parts like lightweight multi-piece racing wheels and roll bars.

                  And if the point is to be as low as possible and have creative custom work, the euro crowd sucks at it compared to the mini truck crowd

                                And you wonder why you get in e-arguments. You always have to retaliate.

                                Read this:

                                There are two types of guys who mod cars. There are guys who genuinely don't care what other people do to their cars. They may or may not like it, but if they don't, they share their opinion, and then move on.

                                Then there are guys who don't like what other people do, and they stick around and incessantly bash their opinion over everyone's heads expecting to convince the guys he's bashing that he's right.

                                You don't like the 7? You don't like my rusty 5? You don't like me? You don't like my website? That's cool, you're entitled to that. I honestly don't care.... but say your piece and then move on. :)

                                Don't tell people to say their peace and move on, as you can't let people say their peace without saying some smartass comment back. Who's the one who can't accept other peoples opinions? It's you. I made one post and you come back with that comment like a 3 year old child.
