Tuners Don't Exist Anymore Options

[DST94]

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 points from everyone.
I do agree that a build is a piece of artwork, coming from an art background, I will also agree that I HATE when an artist throws paint at a canvas and says, I'm the ****. Like Tiga said, it's about the effort. and I will have to say that its about attitude and passion as well. That for me, is what's missing the most from everyone these days. I see too many people just throw cash at a car and jumping on bandwagons just to get bored and move on the the "next big thing" that's what saddens me. They may have all the best name brand parts on their car but if the passion is missing, I could care less what they've done if they themselves don't really care.
