Why the "Hoonigan Hate"?

[Lees_Garage]

I have been seeing a lot of "Hoonigan Hate" on the forum as of late, and was just wondering what it is all about?


I have followed the brand and their athletes for quite some time, and cannot figure out why anyone would have hate for a brand represented by drivers such as: Ken Block, Ryan Tuerck, Vaughn Gitten, Chris Forsberg, BJ Baldwin, and many more.


I have supported this brand since its inception, and do so because I enjoy the media content the brand and its athletes produce (Gymkhana, Recoil, Drift Garage, etc).


I will admit I was awash in disappointment when I started seeing 2003 Honda Civics with automatic transmissions, fart can exhaust, spray painted wheels, and a huge hoonigan banners on the windshields, but that's not going to stop me from buying a cool shirt from a brand that embodies the motorsports I enjoy so much.

Please speak freely, as I know you will. Lol. I am not here to change your mind, I was just curious, and wanted to hear your opinions.
