Well said. The way Mike approaches his cars is a perfect example of how it should be. People **** on what he does and even moreso his E28 but you don't see him basking in that glory, he just continues to do what he likes without responding to people calling out his car and such

^^^good stuff man. Thanks.

x10000 I can't wait for this whole "*****" vocabulary to die off. The "I love ******" mentality is used by people like Paris Hilton and the Jersey Shore cast. Who wants to be like them??

"If they **** on you, you're doing something right".....yah that, or you're doing some wrong. 50% of the time, if you're "being ***** on", you probably deserve it.



People speak negatively of something when they are incapable of understanding where another person is coming from or why someone would like what they do. They are unable to understand that some people find the stance aesthetic to be "attractive" and "desirable". Instead of accepting the fact that everyone perceives what's "good" differently, they hold the stance aesthetic up against their own personal normative values in regards to car modding. When their personal values lie in a car performing well at a track, or looking a specific way...it's obvious why they wouldn't like the way we mod our cars.

It's not jealousy either. These people truly don't like the same styling we do, so I doubt they wish they had our cars. They're happy with their cars modded to their preferences, just as we're happy with ours. They like their cars the best. We like ours the best. They just happen to not like our cars because they're not like their cars. It's not jealousy....just a difference in personal preference.

Some people are mature enough to accept that people like different things. They accept and respect others' view points even if it isn't in line with their own.....then there's the immature group who ignore all that and just post meaningless negative comments on the internet. Just ignore them and keeping doing what makes you happy.

THIS. What makes the "stance scene" so cool, is that people are laid back and generally defy the typical car-enthusiast stereotype. This being an arrogant asshole with zero people skills who thinks that their car is the best and all others must measure up to it.

**** to break it to anyone with this mentality, but there will ALWAYS be a car far cooler then your own. On top of that, you are a intersection away from having it completely totaled, never to be the same again. While cars bring us together, it's the people that define a movement. If your open-minded and are a enthusiast, I don't care if your driving a yellow-neon with flower hub-caps ... actually that's a lie.. but you get what I mean.

StanceWorks is different because, for the most part historically, we check our egos at the door and it's created a great place for everyone to gather without pre-tense. Allow this attitude to spread virally and it will be a better future for all us. It starts with YOU though... the **** has to die with you. Don't inflame it, just brush it off and tell that same person how much you LIKE their car... you will be surprised the reaction you get

I don't know about you guys, but all these "hellaflush" arguments and stuff have lmost ruined it for me. Especially on this local forum i'm on importsnc.com, All they do is argue about how gay hellaflush and the people who are into the scene like me are douches. it's almost like I **** beinf associated with "hellaflush" because of people like that. Like they generalize all 'hellaflush" guys with the douches on importsnc. I know that it doesn't generalize with EVERYONE in the world, But these are the people I meet up with at meets and stuff. All the cool people on here aren't local to me, And all the people around me generalize "hellaflush" with these couple of stuck up assholes, so I get looked upon as a stuck up asshole as well. I almost **** the word "Hellaflush" thanks to NC. Needless to say I quit going on there hahahaha

I don't mod my car like this to jump on the bandwagon or to hopefully get "approved," I enjoy it and that's all that matters to me. That's why I think it's important to respect everyones style, because they like it. I never understood how people could say stuff like "your car is ugly" instead of "not my cup of tea, but welcome." Why can't we ll be friendly? That's why I like it here

fuckin thank you, that is the exact attitude all the members on HERE need to adopt.

get over it, theyre not jealous of your shit and they dont think your cool. Just accept that you have different tastes and be done with. We're not in kindergarden, theyre not picking on you because they like you.

I do **** people with skinnies and huge tires, yes. But, my last comment you quoted was said in joking terms.

i wear skinny jeans, so fuck you

alot of those cars do look stupid

ive said it before, ill say it again
its NOT GOOD FITMENT when your WHEEL will REMOVE your fender on a bump.

that's not for YOU to decide, GOOD fitment is whatever the FUCK i like

[SimonF]

A lot of the UK scene seriously hates on the "hellaflush" and "stance" trend going through the various genres at the moment.

To the point where a lot of replies to threads will just be "thats shit", or "scrap it", purely because the wheels fit properly.

For example;



That to me, is perfect, but i can almost gaurentee that when the car reaches the main stream masses, a tonne of people will no doubt comment on arches, tyres and pot hole damage, which is a bit shit 'cause when you enter into this kind of game, you fully understand the risks and hopefully build around them. Personally, this is when it annoys me, when people are like "you must eat tyres", no, my alignment is spot on thanks, and my tyres will just as long if the camber was 0 rather then -3.5, kthxbye.

To be fair, by the looks of it, on that Acura forum around 90% are people who cold call people and ask them if they want life insurance, come home to their wife who reads poetry to their 25 year old son who can't bare to leave home, so i wouldn't worry about it.

I dont think you understand where I am coming from. They can say what they want as long as its something productive and has meaning. If its a opinion based on more than " thats not how I roll " I can except that. What I don not except is the biased ones that act as if its should be fact. That goes for both sides of the stick.This is something that I feel strongly about in areas that pertain to more than just wheel fitment.

I do **** people with skinnies and huge tires, yes. But, my last comment you quoted was said in joking terms.

Haha I know the bike fitment thing was a joke but it was good to use as an example anyway since it was an extreme one

As for only saying things that are productive, you can't please everyone and everyone is entitled to an opinion, whether it be negative or positive. I agree that often times people could word things better so that they don't come off so hostile, but given the variety of people who mod cars, there will always be differences and there's no reason to get butt-hurt over negative comments, just ignore them and move on since you won't ever make everyone happy

A lot of people act like flush/poke should be a fact and that everything else is garbage or ugly yet I can recall just a couple of years ago when everyone outside of the VW/Euro world loved ripping on our cars for poke and stretch and being stupidly low (and tons of people still do) and now a lot of those people are doing just that with their cars, so it's really nothing to get so upset over imo

Telling them how you feel about bicycle wheel fitment is exactly the same as them telling you about how they feel about your poke/flush fitment. People always cry that people are ****** on them when there's a difference in opinion, yet those same people will **** on what other people do bc they don't like it, which is no different at the end of the day. People need to put things into perspective and step into the other person's shoes for a second. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen (or however that expression goes)

But I would be damned if I let someone talk shit rather than base an opinion when they have nothing in common. Or at least tell them how I feel about bicycle wheel like fitment.

"****** are just confused admirers"
-Rev Run

Yuppers. Some go with the majority of the crowd that they can associate themselves with for all the same reasons.

They dont have to be jealous cause they cant afford it, but in most cases cause they realize they went the wrong way. At least the people that **** that I have been familiar with.

Im fed up with the whole "**** on **** on" mind frame myself. I **** using the word *****!
