Haha, I just joined Zilvia.net just to say that I love this thread.
I'm mostly on bimmerforums or m3forums since I'm big into e36 and e46m3s. But I came across this thread and I feel like I can relate to most everyone on this thread.
In the typical M3 community, it has gotten to the point where ultra low offset expensive rims is now teh hotness, and it is considered legitimite to use the word "build" when discussing the progress you've made fitting the wrong wheels on your car. As in "yo, check out my build, I'm running et10 wheels with a 20mm spacer and -5deg camber".
Stanceworks was started on bimmerforums by a pretty creative guy, but its gotten out of hand. Now everyone wants to mimic this stuff, which was an offshoot from the VW crowd, which I think originated in Europe.
Point is, anything where you have to be a follower and completely copy a scene is weak. Not to mention, making choices of form> function on performance cars is also weak. Don't people get embarrassed being poseurs?

Where exactly did this stem from? What makes a person decide, "intentionally damaging my car is a good idea"?
I understand a rusted out hot rod but thats different (patina)

Haha so true.
Back in 2008 I bought an EG Civic with a GSR motor as a back up track car. It was ugly and had a dented fender and hood I replaced with an OEM unpainted fender and hood because I didn't feel like spending the money. But after a few months, they started to rust....
So then I went and trolled the bfc home of Stance:Nation hoping to get a new rusted trend to catch on.
Check out the cool new trend - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum
Thought you guys might enjoy. Keep being awesome.
