Have had one 240 (s14) for 15 years. Opinions on the scene? Hard to say because I'm pretty sure that while the scene changed, but I've probably changed too. Before, everything is exciting. See so many people with common interest with strong respect. First drift events and competitions in SoCal? So awesome. Drift is life. Could say that there were many less "fukbois" but maybe I was a bit of a fukboi at the time too, so naturally, perspective is a little bit different.

I can only say these things from this 32 y/o point of view:

Changed: Now, people getting much more of a "pass" to put together really crappy 240s. Some ppl even get props for building ultra junky cars. Sense of pride in purposely making poop-mobiles. Before, if your car was shit, at least you knew it. Late night mountain runs much more secretive. 20-car meetup at mountain? Ultra risky now (cops). Before, hell ya, party time no problem. Those were all kind of bad changes...

Good? Ahhh.... hmm... parts are more accessible? I don't know... that's not really "community" stuff. As sheit got kind of crappy, I've started to slowly drop out of the community, although I pop back in from time to time.

Future? What future? Next generation of enthusiasts are running these cars to the ground. At least it's making the value of my car go up. Pretty sure it's going to be considered rare, which is kinda cool, but super sad at the same time.
