    Millennials.............

    Hello R3v let's start a discussion. So what's up with millennials? I for one believe in car culture and all the diversity involved in the culture.
    It’s with this in mind that I want to talk about a topic that has been irking me for quite a while: the growing portion of our small community who believe that the world exists solely for their own individual needs and are rotting our community from the inside. It’s happening across the world wide web …


    How can we fix this? Would any millennials like to also voice there opinions?

    Millennials are just the new generation that the old generation likes to use to blame for every ill in the world (that were mostly caused by themselves).

    That article didn't even make sense. What is he complaining about exactly? Guess what - I'm not a millennial, but I'm still going to put you down if you do something obviously stupid to your car. That kind of thing is as old as the internet itself..

            Ah yes the politically correct car scene... Where everyone has to accept everybody's opinion on their style of car, or how they modified it. People need to get over the fact that not everyone likes the same stuff. I know people don't like what I like. Do I really care? NO.....

                The mods that only serve as a way to get attention, those annoy me.

                I mean, I get that some chicks are naturally an attention whore, but that same vibe coming form a dude and his car is just pathetic IMHO.

I feel though that I cant be put into that class because for one I dont vape, wear a snapback, or think I'm the coolest dude around.
                  What's the weather like up on that high horse?

                    Well you'd be a lot cooler if you vaped and wore a snapback though.

                      This is what I've started to do:

                      I wave or flash my highs to anyone who looks like a car enthusiast. Doesn't matter what make, model, or...type of modification is on display. I used to poo-poo all that stuff, but at the end of the day they're just as excited about cars as I am. I may not personally like all of it, but I also don't own the cars!

                        Yes and no. The type of PC being taught in schools together with hands free parenting is producing some is producing an odd batch of human these days.

                        They don't even know what the grass is before stepping on it!

                          I have young kids in school - not sure i understand what you're talking about, other than vauge references to PC and generalizing a bunch of people based on when they were born.

                          And if it is true guess who's fault it this? These are the children and grandchildren of the very generations who love to complain about them.

                              I liked E30s before they were cool. Guess that means I'm a hipster. :-P
