15 years ago, would Rob be as popular as he is? No. Back then, his car would have been considered stock.

My thoughts were that when I saw these cars they were in magazines before the internet explosion. You had to work really hard and do some crazy shit to get a feature in a magazine. Now it's:

1) Take popular platform (E36, E28, E46, MK4 etc.)
2) get low coilovers (Broadways, BC's.......Racelands)
3) get popular wheels (RS's LM's Rotiforms ACS, etc)
4) whore pics on instagram and wait for nutswinging feature.

Where's the challenge?

At least people tried back then.

This x1,000,000,000.

No challenge.

We all have our faults, of that I cannot deny.

I'm more impressed with what they've accomplished with an electric car in general, paired with the crash test ratings and whatnot.

That said, I will never own one, or seek to own one. But at least someone is "trying".

At least people tried back then.

lol I guess you haven't seen the new TG....Yeah its not 100% electric but its 1000000000000000000 times better than that garbage

[MadMax]

Even though i cant really remember that time...I saw those kinda cars and was impressed...but my dad always told/showed me how bad the fab works on most of them (not all but i'd say 90% of them) were...

I wish I wasn't so young at the time I only got to see that stuff on Powerblock.

Anyone remember the intake that sat out in the bumper like a front mount intercooler?

[OrangeBlue]

I **** to admit it, but I kinda miss the "rice" cars of the 90's- early 2000's. The crazy, molded body kits and putting different front ends on and shit.

90' style always rocks, today everthing has to be clean, OEM+ and crazy low..,
but this looked good too or even better...

No challenge.

lol wtf get over it. those 90's 2000's bodykit builds were cool at the time cause guys made them themselves and it was a new scene, etc. now, we all know that it was just a big mess of fiberglass. and to argue your bullet points respectively,

1) Those platforms are now popular because they have been previously insignificant in the car scene. That's what it takes to start a wave of something new, you need NEW material. This time around, its bmw, vw's, and nissans etc.
2) Todays suspension options beat the shit out of any 90's bullshit eibach springs ever and you know it.
3) I don't remember people rocking great wheels in the 90's. I remember a lot of random chrome crap with brands like BOSS and DUB and FOXXXX
4) The pic whoring you see today, only grows this hobby, and believe it or not, improves it. Everyone learns and gets to recognize quality once they get past the retard intro stage. Also, all this photo demand has resulted in amazing leaps in photography skill, technology, and product. Kids that you would never see with a camera in the 90's, are learning all about photography, and a lot of them are coming out with excellent work.

I know its easy to **** on what is going on right now, hurts your pride to see underdogs getting recognition, but if you look at the big picture, it is progress in the right direction.

[Jlyons617]

How do you count having a bunch of self righteous asshat hipsters doing the same thing over and over progress?

it's like saying you want to be unique and then buying all your shit at Hot Topic.

[Miroteknik]
