wow.... so much hate.

So, as one man once said, "Why so serious?"

Do you think that everyone cares that much? People don't do it for performance, they're just out to have fun, do stuff that doesn't make sense, and live life. Why does it always have to be "you cant do this" you cant do that", etc? If you dont get it, dont do it, no one says YOU have to, right? Some people joy in the fact that others don't understand their cars, they know who they built it for, and they dont care... So if you don't have anything nice to say, then please shut the fuck up?

Thank you.

Since most of the guys doing this, not just FC owners decide that having body panels that don't fit correctly, slammed on the ground body damage & usually mis matched paint if any at all I guess stretching the tires isn't going to hurt the looks of the car anymore. To each his own & good luck in however you build you car just don't claim that this is the right way of doing things, like some try to do. BTW the only thing I'm going to stretch & poke is what is between a woman's legs.
Good example of a legit post, thanks rotordad. No hate, no badmouthing, no bullshit. Just an honest opinion and commentary on the subject.



PS: Also, the pics you posted, wtf is that? That is not cool nor does it look good... please dont throw everyone else in with those cars you posted.

I think you need to take a look in the mirror...

Granted, we might not be talking about you, personally, but much of the contigent that you're defending are a bunch of morons.
You can check the Evil Forum if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Like I said before, it's a subjective thing.
Like with anything that has to do with STYLE, you're going to get negative comments.
Deal with it.
Only babies go crying wah-wah-wah about all the harsh words.

I don't like it when people push THEIR idea of what is "cool" or "good" onto me.
That's when I get annoyed.
I find it annoying when these dori boyz argue that running stretch is BETTER PERFORMANCE - BULLSHIT.
Get the picture?

You seem to have the most upset sounding post yet. One might think people were poking fun of your g/f.

To have a good conversation over opinions, you are going to have some disagreement. If you believe that your opinion trumps all others, you need to keep in mind that everyone feels that way, and wars are started over such thinking. As another man once said, "Can't we all get along?".

you obviously care since you're getting pissy over the fact we think it looks retarded...Nobody said YOU CAN'T DO THIS...it's more like: "Ha, that's stupid and they think they are the shit! "

I don't usually make bad comments on others cars unless they ask for it by talking shit or going overboard with negative comments on my cars which I seem to get alot from the drift guys. So all in all it's not the car or the trend, but the fools who follow such trends without knowing why & want to act like asses that make things a problem.
amen brother...Can't say I like the fanbois...just waiting for the next racing fad to take over so they can move on (cuz that's what all the cool ppl will be doing). Sadly we're a few years away from that so we gotta put up with it. I'm just very happy to see that I'm not the only one who thinks it's stupid and doesn't want to see those kind of people here...let them populate the stanceworks, vwvortex, hondatech and rx7club forums.

sometimes a pic is worth a thousand words and that's pretty much where the stretch and poke and the retard camber is going...just wait and see. The Japanese people started it, the VW ppl copied it and soon it'll be the hottest import scene especially among the fad followers/drifters.

Did you even read all my posts? or did you only focus on the "hate?" what are your thoughts on posts #6 and 7

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol
