The car scene is huge in Cali but it is filled with egos that give everyone else a bad name. Once in a while ill get a thumbs up or wave but most of the time its someone doing a flyby, reving or trying to intimidate.

That's what I'm saying. The people who have those stupid egos or think their civic ex is the fastest thing in the world ruin the actual enthusiast scene.

lol I've pretty much given up on waving to others in my area too. The past couple of days I've encountered a couple FRS/BRZs and they've all pulled up next to me, looked, and then sped off ahead. Or we make eye contact, and they totally blow me off looking at me like I'm a crazy person when I throw them the deuces. Hell, I've gotten more thumbs ups from Audi owners than twin owners

It was too dark at that time to see smoked side markers. I don't know about tinted window because I could see the drivers face clearly at night. Dark, short hair. Either Hispanic, White with a little middle eastern facial features.

So if you want to PM your face pic I could tell whether it's you or not :P. I remember the face.

It all depends on the people that are attracted to certain cars. S2000 drivers waved to me EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Evo drivers waved about half to 3/4 of the time.

I've stopped bothering to even notice the other 86 drivers in most cases.

Garage
SoCal Spotted

Saw a stocked WRB BRZ with no front plate waiting to turn left from Nogales Street ramp onto Valley Blvd heading east towards Walnut in Rowland Heights at 5:48pm on Sunday August 10.

It is a male driver. Dark hair Hispanic / white in his 20s with a pair of glasses. I was driving west in my FRS on Valley Blvd and happened to see you when I passed Nogales Street.

Just spotted white frs with a unpainted 5 axis kit with black plasti dip wheels in Lincoln height behind king taco. Girlfriend noticed it hidden behind the trash cans. I wouldn't put them there if I was you, trash company scratched mine and apparently I didn't have evidence of them doing it-.-

at 9:50pm I spotted a silver frs with dealer plates on at orangethorpe and magnolia, almost pulled my cell phone out to record but i wasnt fast enough since the light turned green. this guy took a right turn and didn't wait for the guy on the bike and gunned it, guys car turned and the tires squeeked. then down 2 blocks I saw a ultramarine frs with gold wheels pulling into a wallgreens.

edit: On Ball and Magnolia there was a huge ass car meet going on. I didn't have anyone to go with or would have but this shit was crazy, saw a whole bunch of people from civics to corvettes/evos/genesis pulling in and rolling in pairs through the street. Also saw a civic vs beetle on euclid and orangethorpe i think (wherever renick subaru is)
