That's not that attitude shared up here. If you are a hardparker you are a ricer. Putting race parts on a car to have it standing still at a Cars and Coffee meet is not doing it right. I think maybe we have different definitions of hard parking. Up here it represents anyone who is has race parts such as BBK, Cages, Harnesses/Race Seats ect. but never once goes to the track or even AutoX thus turning the race parts into showcar parts. Everyone I know and hangout with is not a fan of this and as such we refer to them as ricers just like the fart cannon boys. Worst yet are the guys with all the race parts and install a full stereo with multiple subs and amps that can't be removed.
If my car didn't see track duty at least twice a month (track/autoX) it would be a great candidate for a hardparker. I have every race part, drive around on R888's rcomps, lexan windows and also have a high dollar stereo system. Difference being, I win at shows and I can pull my stereo in less than 10 minutes to be track legal.
I could never hardpark an FRS/BRZ as its clear that damn car has a home on the track. Sacrilegious to not exploit the hell out that!
