im sure most of you guys know the one, its where he slowly opens his garage to reveal is s13 with different coloured panels and goes on to talk about how modifications are being fased out and we will all end up looking the same, i think he then talks about how it brings friends together then drives a civic near the beach.


cant remember who made the video but it was really artistically shot, can anybody help me find it or have a link for it
 
My lord, that's bad. Really, really bad.

"People ask me why I spend so much money on my car"

The correct answer for 97% of those with modified cars is:

Because it's a bit ****, and I have a delusion that the more money I spend on it the less **** it'll be

"We shun those who street race"

Yeah, like **** do you.

Talking about adding your own "unique" touches when you're opening car is the text book definition of a Drifter's "scene" car - A scabby S13 with mismatched body panels and Rotas (?). That's a unique, never seen before look right there kids :rolleyes:.

Car culture will die out? LOL. There's been a strong love of cars since the first one rolled out of a garage under it's own steam (literally) and the auto "pop culture" that they are moaning about can DIRECTLY trace it's roots back to what? The 1920s? 90 years and it is still going as strong as ever.

The Supra was sexy though :cool:.
 
Has anybody not stopped and thought properly about what he's saying ??

How many of us car enthusiasts on here have had friends / members of our family fail to understand why we spend so much money on our cars. Money on cleaning products, money on modifications, repairs to keep the car running, buying and upgrading to new cars etc...

I've experienced that.

Equally about the street racing scene. Do you not think thats what people think of us when all of us roll up into a car park for a meet ? That we're a bunch of youths up to no good and tar us with the same brush as the Max Power Cruising Scene that will run street races round mcdonalds ??

I'm sure we get looked upon like that.

Are we not also responsible adults who enjoy driving our cars ? and shun the idiots who go street racing at the cruises.

And although i don't agree that the modified car culture will die out, its been going since the post WW1 years. He does have a point that its under threat. Economic restrictions, fuel price restrictions, restrictions on car modifications, emissions laws ... etc..

I don't think the video is anything bad or cringeworthy tbh.
 
what a crap video.

car culture being a chapter. men have been into cars since they were invented. they were being souped up an people doing land speed record attempts in the 1920s.

its not a phase and its not going anywhere.

shun street racing. everyone has raced on the road, everyone has broken the speed limit. so you can shut up about that one too

emmissions stopping us tuning cars. an 88 mk2 golf with a later mk3 or mk4 engine will have cleaner emmissions than it started with.

My dad thought I was an idiot for spending £600 on an Eisenmann.
I then politely reminded him he has an organ sitting gathering dust in his living room :)

Exactly !

not sure why people are being so negative. He's not somebody saying its a chapeter, he's warning it could be if the current trend of clamping down continues.

He's totally got a point, costs of motoring gets more expensive, the bureaucrats are clamping down on emissions, politicians are looking more closely at how we should and shouldnt be allowed to modify cars (new EU mot laws for example)

I agree. I also agree with the video about how the modified scene in its current form is under serious threat of dying out or at least being scaled down further.

And this is a bad thing?

The modified scene at the moment is a mess. Having a car that looks like a properly sheddy nail is cool, absoultely anything 'JDM' is awesome regardless how **** and useless it actually is and it seems getting stance, offset and stretch is THE most important factor of a modified car. Bar none.

your over generalizing

thats just one "scene"

You won't see anybody with stupid ammounts of stretch at a VXR / STOC meet etc.. its just not part of that scene.
