I mean, all you have to do is take a look at the member cars section and you'll see plenty of tuners who don't fall into that crowd.
that said I don't discount the loud crowd. I just don't like the style. you enjoy your car the way you want. I can't say otherwise.
so chin up, there's plenty of us out there.

Also, I still have not-so-fond memories of the late 80's when people were bolting chrome bits on their engines, cherry bomb (glass pack) mufflers, 275/55 15's in the back and 205/75 15's in the front. This would make these 250whp, 4000lbs BEASTS shiny, loud, and the tail-end high in the air! It was LAME!
Then there came the mini-truck craze in the early 90's. Mazdas, Toyotas, and Nissans mostly. Lowered to the ground with 185/50 13's wrapped around 13x7 gold, wire-spoked rims. I think this spawned the "import movement". Also LAME!
By the late 90's the "import movement" was in full swing. Remember the coffee can megaphones on the back of every Honda on the road? There were neon lights, fake NAAAWS bottles, black-painted rims, cut springs, and fire extinguishers mounted to the A-Pillars of every mom's Accord! Still LAME!
(I know it sounds like I'm picking on the Honda crowd... I'm not! Its just you guys honestly were the FIRST ricers.)
I'm sure in 10 more years, the Hellaflush crowd will be looked upon with as much contempt as all the other "movements" in the past.
