Yeah, I think people that use iPhones are total dbags like the owner of these ugly cars you come across.

But that's just me.

Seriously, who gives a shit? Just move on with YOUR life and YOUR mods and YOU will be so much happier. I never let anyone else dictate my happiness, neither should you.

And if other people's mods to their car that just so happen to be the same as your car bothers you that much, I think you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

I've modified my car pretty heavily but I feel like I've done it in a tasteful way. That being said, I haven't been pulled over yet. All the riced out, slammed, big wings, huge camber, loud FRS/BRZs are taking the attention away from me. In comparison the cops probably don't even notice me so all the better.

You've made a judgment call enough to say somebody is a douchebag because they use a different phone than you? That says way more about you then them.

First if you hate the stance scene then why talk about? Just worry about the car you drive and the mods you buy. Let the other kids/adults buy whatever they want for their track/stance car. If you hate it forget about it the more you talk about hating something the more you just stress and anger yourself. WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO TO THEIR OWN DAMN CAR. Anyways there paying for it your not. There's always going to be different arguments from both sides. Stance guys are going to say it's a waste of money tracking your car and then there's going to be track guys saying its a waste of money stancing your car. Just forget about it and live your life.

I personally love both scenes, I do the stance scene because it's just crazy trying to drive so damn low with crazy camber/fitment. && that's my opinion, and I honestly respect anyone's opinion on THEIR car because that's their car. There's wheels that I do not like on our twins but some twins have them but I'm not going to talk shit and say you picked the wrong wheels because in the end it's his/her car. In the car community there's always going to be different people likeing different taste on their own car because it's there own car why talk shit to someone for doing it on there own car? It's pointless.

Reminder:
WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT THEY DO ON THEIR OWN CAR(:

Seems like I struck a cord with a number of sensitive folks on the forum, and for that I have to apologize

Internet sarcasm is lost.

Edit: but think about it. Why all the wasted bandwidth trash talking about what others do? Does being "tasteful" make you high and mighty compared to others who don't have the same tastes as you? My post, while sarcastic and not to be taken seriously (even though you took it seriously), is representative of what is wrong with this type of mentality.

Don't like it, fine. Don't approve of it, okay. Just don't say what you are doing is better than what they are doing simply because YOU like it.

Dear @mit_peid

Your car is boring.
You chose the most boring paint color. The one that comes on every rental car.
You chose the most generic wheels possible. RPF-1s. In a boring offset and a boring color.
You chose a generic 1"-1.5" drop.
You chose a generic Kraftwerks SC kit, not something exotic and interesting.
Your spoiler both says and does nothing.
Your Enkei sticker puts me to sleep.
Your car is the Old Navy of 86's.
Your car isn't tasteful.
It's boring.



This is what someone that builds aggressively styled cars might think of your car.

Do you see how this works?

These are not my personal feelings. I think you chose a classic understated functional style. I get the look. My car has similar understated mods and styling.

Still, people who build cars as rolling art would probably think that cars like ours are unoriginal and uninteresting if they shared your logic. That wouldn't be cool. Or maybe it would be. In any case, you didn't build your car for them and they didn't build their cars for you. Their styling choices don't bring down what we built or our "scene" or the group of people we roll with. Just as our "boring"/"tasteful" cars don't bring down their "gaudy"/"wicked" ones either.



Yours truly,
DAE - Another boring car owner. Who appreciates people expressing themselves through their cars, no matter my own personal taste.
