Tuners Don't Exist Anymore Options

[DST94]

I'm lost guys.

The car / tuner scene doesn't exist for me anymore. It just isn't the same as it used to be. Nobody builds cars for the same reasons Tuners used to build cars and there are so many cheap knockoffs being produced that build quality is low. I don't really understand what's going on. People say that we should "respect all builds" but I just can't understand why I should respect someone who literally cheaps out on everything. I see builds with straight eBay parts lists that look and run like crap. Now I'm not saying not to use eBay, I use eBay for simple stuff. Piping, clamps, wiring, connectors, etc. But remember when people used to roll around with legit wheels, legit performance parts, legit work? Like, cars used to get improved by tuners.... It's like cars are only getting changed nowadays.

Right in the years I'm going to finish my car, it seems like the scene has been long dead. Good thing I built the car for me.

One of the biggest things for me is pouring my heart and soul into the car and trying my absolute best to buy good quality stuff and get rare cool stuff for my car then go to a car meet and see a bunch of slammed cars on fake wheels with LEDs and stickers, then they look at me like I don't belong there because I'm on stock wheels at stock height... In my head I'm like dude my front right tire has more track time than you AND your car.... It just sucks to remember growing up and going to car meets with my pops and now this is my generations turn.... And they ****ing it up.

Who cares what others think, and especially if it looks like they drove their car through the front of an Autozone and instead of just throwing away all the damaged merchandise they left it stuck to their car. I get people asking when I'm going to LS swap or why didn't I buy a LS car, well I don't want a fking LS or a fking LS car. I like how the LT-1 cars look significantly more, and for my driving style I prefer the LT-1 and to me the LT-1 sounds a lot better which is a huge part personally of the allure in having a V8 anyway. The LT-1 is a great engine if you bother taking 30 minutes of your life to read up on it and you have second grade reading comprehension skills. Oh and don't get me started on the sawblade rims hate, I didn't want a 5-spoke like everyone else and their aunt but I wanted something o.e. so I could have a quality set of rims without breaking the bank. I personally think they look good on the car, but seems everyone else is like "Ewww why didn't you just put on some 5-spokes?" Oddly enough the import people seem to like them though. Anyhow I got the car for me and the things I do are for me, Hell I'm hard enough to please much less worrying about pleasing everyone else.
