Official old grumpy assholes of zilvia thread

[exitspeed]

I’ve realized recently that I feel too old to drive a 240 or an 86/brz.

Doesn’t help all my neighbors (in my new neighbors) had an i8, Masarati GT Vert, C7 Z06, and an M5.

But also I’m probably 10 years younger than almost all of them.

nothing wrong with driving a 240sx at our age. just build it right, clean and classic.

hell, i run a full 3 inch exhaust that emits ZERO drone in the cabin during cruising speeds and doesnt rattle and clatter like an almost 30 year old driftslut usually would. but then again, my S13 has been built AND restored. not just made into a hollowed out tin can with blast pipes and zero interior. not hating, just saying theres a huge difference!

That's not an age issue, that's a desire to 'keep up with the joneses.'

You can drive whatever as long as your taste isn't dogshit and faddish.

I'll say it here, and only here, buy my cars have been 'OEM+' forever, I was running 16" wheels on my S13s before the 'oh fucc smol wheels bro' hype, and I've been running 17" squared wheels on my SpecRs since I got them.

Little wheels became a thing, more people are looking to buy OEM cars, and I'll be damned if I don't see at least three big-name clout chasers on IG preaching about how squared set ups are the way to go...like it's some holy revelation.

Do I get some small personal joy out of this? Sure. I'm only human. They're not copying me, but I could give a shit less. It's what I like to see.


S15s are cool. Don't think for one second they aren't a typical SChassis, but they have definitely scratched the itch enough that I let go of both my S13s finally. I always wanted an S13 as my 'cool guy old car' to cruise on the weekends, but being in Japan isn't conducive to having all these cars waiting for 'that one day' that might never come.

Speaking of 'growing up'...also I just scooped a 13yr-old Lexus GS430. If you haven't experienced a 13yr-old Lexus yet, don't wait. Makes you feel better about your lowered, pain-in-the-ass cars. Like you're 'adulting'...
