I'll finally make my first post on this forum rofl!
Let see its going on 18 years on my car since I bought it "new" in 1998. At the time I didn't know how to drive stick. When I bought the car, the sales guy had to drive it back and my auntie had to drive me and my car home That's how green I was, and how much I wanted it.
As far as the scene goes, I've been disconnected from it since 03-04. Sooner or later you realize, that while the street racing scene is fun & exciting.. but if you get caught you're assed out. I should know cause I was in it, racking up wins in a stock 240 >_<. Those were fun days, just dont get caught. Especially now, when you can get a 10k fine for just watching.
IMO, overall the scene hasn't changed much, many parts of it are still the same both the good and the bad. If anything, its much smaller now than what it use to be. This is a result of people growing up, and selling off their project cars for whatever reason.
Today i'm seeing lots of stance-nation, low riding, donut whirling cars. Granted people now just want to copy what JDM or fotm because it cool. I don't have a problem with that its their car not mine. Everyone has their own preference.
My car mostly stock today, just has the normal weathering from the elements. I can now put some focus on my car now that I've got some disposable income to put on it. Like most you guys here, I tend to do alot more research on the forums. What's still amazing is how few VQ swap are.
