Stance Rant

[Tuck&Poke]

Sorry brother, I agree with most of your post, but if you have ******, that means people are ****** on you. People **** on you because they don't like your shit. People don't like your shit because your shit SUCKS. ****** is not a compliment, if anything it's an insult, it's not complicated.


(when I say "you" I really mean "one," "you" sounds more fluent in a sentence, though )

absolutely true. No one is ****** on you cause they're envious of your super cool ass dope ride brah, they **** on you cause they dont like your shit. Well put . Im sig'ing that shit.

build your car for you.
if you build your car because you think people on forums will make you feel good about yourself, gtfo please.

if you can't look out the window or walk into the garage and say to yourself "hell yeah, that's my car", then you're doing something wrong. that's that.

Just saw this..Not going to read it all cause my opinion is this....

The word "stance" has changed over the years and maybe i have been in the game too long but it had meaning in the beginning. Now you throw coils on and you have "stanced" a car....Sorry but it takes more then that to have a stance....Yes in the general term maybe but when the term was first starting to be used is referred to a car or truck that had a thought out tire/wheel/suspension/arch combo. Everything had to flow. The car was well thought out and hours and hours of test fitting and pulling and paint and stretching came in to play. Now i hear everyone talking about it...Honestly it drove me out of cars for a long time...Im coming back slowly(posting new thread soon) and when i come back it will be a slow build that will be like i had back in the day where it had arch work, and the perfect wheel and tire combo....whatever....

I have the same rant as Sean..I saw in the same town as one of my houses and it was a stock car, Lowered, Smoked cheep lights and painted headlights, Stock wheels and one piece of interior done and super ghetto crap. The car had a roll call of all the forums including this one...All the forums listed were of this kind too. I wanted to scrape it all off and leave a note saying that the stickers dont mean its "stanced" 14/6 stock wheels and some spraypainted body parts doesn't make for a show car or anything cool....Try again.

My other rant is the "trend setter" mentality....I know a guy who thinks hes setting trends...1 piece wheels, Coils that are not low, Stretch tires that i may add i was rocking the same wheel width and rim with combo on my daily almost 8 years ago and a stock interior with a few wrapped pieces. I stopped helping the guy on his car cause not only was his E penis about 30 pages long but he was claiming he was doing it all...I had to seat the f'n tire cause his wheel shop wouldn't and he couldn't get it.

Oh well my rant is over..I will crawl back in to my hole.

Fawk some of you mofo's write way too damn much LOL

[SeanDub]

I think the main issue here is copying. If you see someones car and like how it looks, just enjoy it. You don't have to make yours look exactly like it. You can do similar things, but honestly, pretty much everyone who puts Rota Grids on their Subie, Roofracks on their VW, stickers angled up the rear window/covering a body part, etc. is just doing it for the scene points.


Since we're picking things about the scene that we don't like anyways, lets address the replys to threads on here. Go look at any new thread in the showroom right now. This will be the order of replys:

Sick!

Dope

Looks tight

Sick bro

Awesome! Specs?

Fresh

Looking fresh man


I mean honestly, if you want to reply, at least take the time to think out something original and meaningful about the car. Even saying "Looks sick man, those wheels fit your car great" is better than one "buzz" word replys.

Most cars don't warrant a full elaborate response...

I thought the stance scene was all about having a clean fitment. Get low, roll hard, stunt like a mofo. Do some shit to your car to stand out and make a statement, wear every ***** as a badge of honor. Now I appreciate w/e you do to your car to try and make a statement, I do not always agree, but I always make sure I don’t put you down for it. You want a rusted hood? Cool, not my cup of tea but awesome if you like it. And that’s why I love this scene, everyone is so accepting to different cars or cultures. I appreciate JDM, USDM, EDM, big trucks, little trucks, rally cars, drift cars, vans, wagons, anything. I like cars and I like to work on them, or at least try =P People **** us because we break from the norm, we don't follow the rules. We make our cars "undriveable", we know, stop telling us. The stance didnt just happened, I made it like that.

I can see how some people are upset with it, they try to do all that but keep a clean ass body. Shave this, tuck this, euro that, rare that… minor details make major differences and I’m a firm believer of it. If you really appreciate a certain car for what it is, you’ll noticed that you have euro taillights with a slightly different bulb arrangement, or different grill with headlights sunk in an inch more. But that goes more into the car make specific forum side. Everyone is going to have noobs that ruin a scene, that’s why we **** 98% of Hondas, let them go on their nooby way and you keep your course of legitness.

And people are upset about wheels, if you like them and they make your shit hot then cool. Don’t try to pass them off as legit though. I’m not your father so I’m not going to scold u for buying into a company that copied a wheel design, your a grown ass man/woman you can do what you want, you have to live with your decisions. Don't worry about other people, let other people worry about you. Don't get all worked up cause someone bought fake wheels. I didn’t know what good wheel brands were until recent. I got some shitty ass Azul Razrs that look like Gram Lights. Fuk I’m pissed and embarrassed about it now, at the time I didn’t know, now I know I want and where to look for better wheels at, I’ve been educated.

Sure you can lower a car and it will look good but it’s the shit u do to make it flush that makes me appreciate it more. I know perfect fitment doesn’t just happen (for a lucky few it might). I know there is fender work that has to be done, rim fitting, tire fitting, camber adjustment, alignments, coilover height and shock adjustment, corner balancing. I’m sad to say I have yet to experience any of the tasks listed above. I’ve been lurking, drooling, watching people do this shit with out a car of my own to practice on and all I have is interwebs knowledge (if that even accounts for anything).

Sorry I have short term memory problems mixed with a little ADD but I tried to make a meaningful response from a noob point of view. Please feel free to edumacate me, I have thick skin. Maybe I'm the apitamy of new people that is ruining the scene. I know I love how a car looks thats slammed and flush. I'll take into concideration their work on the rest of the car in a different light.
