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. -------------------- |

That's why I try and help people whenever I can, even when everyone else is like "SEARCH BAR NOOB!" Not everyone had the benefit of having a parent, in my case my mom, to teach them about cars so without having had a parent or older sibling to get you started you're at square one. It's easy to get to a point where just because you know something you expect everyone else to know it too, I think that's where a lot of the problem lies. Most everyone forgets that at some point in the distant past they were just as clueless.
