**NSFW** 10 things I hate about the local car scene
So a lot of people had been asking me why I've been so inactive in the local car scene. My usual reason is that "I'm busy". But in reality there's more to it. I am going to spill the beans. If you're upset, you're clearly guilty and you can stick it up your whatever. Here're 10 things I hate about the local car scene.
1. It's been talked about lately. People just love to stand around at parking lots waiting to get kicked out by cops.
2. All car clubs are either unorganized or organized but filled with snobs (Yes NZC and NGC are included. No exclusion here!)
3. Most kids these days still ask what the "Fujiwara Tofu Store" stickers on my cars stand for.
4. Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer. Mid-A Z/G crowd does it best. You'd understand this fact if you had an hot/semi-hot ex girlfriend.
5. People are so damn nice to the point that you know it's fake. Comments like "your car is clean" is another way of saying "you noob your car is freaking stock". Speak up! "Hating" is just another way word for being honest.
6. 99.9% of people in the car scene are junkies. You don't need a bachelor/master degree to be in the scene. But come on... show some class and professionalism. I hate dealing with almost every single body/mechanical shop in the area simply because these people are all high school drop outs and never learned how to deal with customers/business. That rare 0.1% are the only people that I deal with and continue to deal with. The rest I just try to advantage of their stupidity.
7. Shop nut hugging seems to be worse here than the rest of the world. I was one of the few that was/is neutral between all shop vs. shop battles. Why? Shop A gives me discount on service and the shop B gives me discount on parts. Shop A was horrible with selling parts and shop B was horrible with service. You just got to learn what a shop is good at and ignore the obvious issues that they have. Stop nut hugging blindly!!!!
8. Females are like rare breeds in the car scene. Whenever a 4/10 female shows up in the car scene, dudes be crowding in like prisoners seeing a girly dude bending over to pick up soap. Show some respect to yourself! 4/10 man! FOUR OUT OF TEN!
9. BROKE! Why's everyone so broke? If you can afford $3000 rims, you can afford a $10 calender that YOU requested me to make for YOUR car club. Yes it's history but it's still a fact.
10. I don't work for you. I don't get paid by anyone in the car scene. So when I do something for the car scene, you better appreciate since it's out of my own time and my own pocket. And when I don't, you have no right to bitch.

Yeah, I'm on pretty much the exact opposite end of the country (southwest vs northeast/mid-a) and a lot of it is the same. The part about doing stuff for the community and not getting any thanks is something I'm all too familiar with.
Oh well. It is what it is. I still enjoy it.

I will agree I go out to the va rides car meet in fredericks bury occasionally because my buddy is one of the guys that runs it but I only go out there like once a month or so. But the good thing is he has permission from the property owner to be there so cops cant kick us out. The downside is there is nothing stoping them from pulling people over just because they are leaving the car meet.

The Reality of car people when it comes to point #4:
We're BFF's in person and on the forum. I was checking our ur girl's *** and **** when u brought her to that last meet BTW. Nice RACK I thought... I'll nudge my way into a conversation to get introduced (because I can't talk to random chicks at a bar,) then I'll find her off your Facebook and click the Friend Request button. I'll continue to visit her page until I get the 'relationship status: Single' update on my phone, then i'll proceed and 'pretend' to be friendly by subtly hinting, "hey buddy, long time no talk. You still w/ Ethan? We should definitely catch up some time. You like cars? Ever been in a Turbo Z? It's fast, I just got it tuned for a bagillion HP. Do you know what a bagillion HP feels like? I can tell ya, it's more force than what you can take inbetween those legs, so how bout it?"
