No I still do my own shit, but like I literally only do it because I want to. The car scene and a lot of the people I have met through it have changed a lot since I got into cars. And a lot of those people aren't people I care to have my name associated with or people that I would want to associate with.

That's not to say I don't have great friends that I made from cars, but a lot of them got super caught up in the quest for e-fame and dick riding, and doing stupid shit for attention.

There's too much drama, and too much competitiveness for something that we started out doing to unwind and relax. I'll continue to do what I want to my cars cause I personally find wrenching fun, and driving something that you've put time, effort, and money into is a very rewarding feeling. But I don't feel as though I gain anything when some random dude thinks my car is "so dope" or that "those wheels are dope".

There's got to be a peak for E-fame and dick riding, right?

To my mind, even if you have a ton of e-fame you're still in the same shitty life position you were when you started.

If you're burning all of your money on car parts (that isn't a student), and living pay check to paycheck because you need to make sure your car can oogled at by a bunch of dudes on the internet, you need a serious life reevaluation.

True. I think the time I knew it was going downhill was when I saw a set of HRE's go for more than what the car that they went on was worth.

I'll try to find the ad.

I don't care so much about the margins, that's fine. But be fucking responsible, and don't then bitch about having no money when you are a grown ass man and have bills to pay but can't because you spent all of your rent money on wheels. Sorry, you're a fucking moron.

[P78]

lol really, be responsible??

we are talking about e-fame right


now that I've set up my own business, the gti is just a transportation device.

if it didn't drive so good I would have already traded it in for a van

And that my friends is why I do not give a fuck about the car scene any more.

I don't judge people for their cars, I judge them for how they act, and that is why I can't be bothered.

tbh, I never was a scene guy, I just met some cool people here and I stayed, this is the only car related site I visit
