I'm lost guys.
The car / tuner scene doesn't exist for me anymore. It just isn't the same as it used to be. Nobody builds cars for the same reasons Tuners used to build cars and there are so many cheap knockoffs being produced that build quality is low. I don't really understand what's going on. People say that we should "respect all builds" but I just can't understand why I should respect someone who literally cheaps out on everything. I see builds with straight eBay parts lists that look and run like crap. Now I'm not saying not to use eBay, I use eBay for simple stuff. Piping, clamps, wiring, connectors, etc. But remember when people used to roll around with legit wheels, legit performance parts, legit work? Like, cars used to get improved by tuners.... It's like cars are only getting changed nowadays. Right in the years I'm going to finish my car, it seems like the scene has been long dead. Good thing I built the car for me. -------------------- |

"Good thing I built the car for me."
just keep remembering that and nothing will ever bother you. we live in a very sensitive society nowadays and everybody has feelings that can get hurt so easily so same with the car scene. douchebaggery has become a norm and there's no respect when you have to respect all. "EVERYONE GETS A GOLD STAR!"

Like oh sorry your XXR curb rashed wheels don't mean a lot to me compared to old boy over there with his stock wheels on legit coilovers. Ya he's stock wheel wise but his car will out corner the **** out of yours! -------------------- |
