Whats up guys ... I am enjoyed owning an modding several turbo cars ( 3 gn's 3 t's 1 tta 1 sy) and this used to be allot of fun. Meeting people, hanging out, doing weekend street racing/ strip trips, phone calls and such to BS about the cars. If you had something to say you said it. Everyone pulled together. Lately it seems more like ever one looking out for #1, bitching and moaning about the smallest of things. I bought a xyz that was suppose to be mint and it got a scratch in it. Now f-the guy I got it from, f-ups, f-this car,
The cops are more proactive breaking up the street scene its tuff just to hang out not even race without catching crap. It seems people just have gotten edgier here. I mean we used to get together and 3-4 people would help another guy get his car done so he could race it. Now this is the crap that got me thinking .....
I go to help a friend ,By friend I mean a guy I meet at a car meet about 3 yrs ago and talked to once in awhile and another guy was suppose to show also. The idea was to drink a few beers shoot the breeze and install his control arms, weld in the lower braces, install the air bags. pretty easy stuff . I get there we have a drink and get the car up on stands. Jeff gets a phone call then 2 min later hes off the phone and comes out and tells me that Steve called and said hes not coming (Steve is a full time welder) and was suppose to weld the braces very easy job. I say "whats up wife would not let him out lol?" nope .Turns out he called to say he decided he cannot do it for free he would need $100.00 to cover his time. ( this is on a f-ing Sunday) so Jeff told him he does not have the cash right now and Steve tells him to call him when hes got and and he will come do it .... wow WTF... he already agreed to do it as a friend. So we get the air bags in and drive the car over to my house and I welded them in for the guy we installed the control arms and we were done. All and all a very easy job that could have been done in 1/2 the time if we did not have to drive back to my place and put it on stands again.. I know the world is f-ed up but common people this is suppose to be fun and it just does not seem like fun anymore... I recently bought a new car and went to a few meets and WOW !! the people are friendly and we all set up a auto-cross day and lots of fun stuff maybe cause its a younger crowd.... Just seems like a bunch old grumpy guess people here. (not all of you)
This thread is not for people to start bashing anyone !! Just post your opinions of this hobbie and what you see.
