I couldn't help but read this. That realization comes as you get older. I am a very involved member in the Z community and the people that I have met through that car have become family. Sadly it doesn't work that way anymore in the 240 community. I've had these cars for a long while now and still keep one for the track, but I've basically cut all ties to the community and watch from the sidelines because of how these people react to each other. It's sad really. The death of a great era.

this thread should of been made in 2005. Y'all are late. The 240 "scene" has been douchey since day one of its mainstream debut. Why? because 'murica. We fuck shit up.

Eh, you gotta give him slack you, I'd give him props for atleast not going for the missile look.

I use to be annoyed and distraught by the amount of ugly and piss poor built 240's.

And then eventually I got over it.

Now I don't even car anymore.

I find it hard enough to care about my own car at times. So I for sure can't care about some kid and theirs.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who seems to have noticed a shift lately.
It seems like these days the forums and for sale ads are flooded with uneducated language. That may just be the biggest thing that upsets me. Half the time I can't even understand what someone is trying to say. It seems as though this new generation was never told the difference between "sell" and "sale" or "then" and "than."
The other thing that bugs me is the amount of kids that buy cars in good condition, only to gut the interior and slap stickers on every available inch of the car. I don't understand the "LOOK AT ME!!!" style, especially when a majority of these kids just cut their springs to lower their car, install some cheap, loud exhaust, and don't even think about any real performance improvements. It seems that in this "scene" it's more important to have a car that "looks cool" than anything else. Which is how we've arrived at a point where kids will rivet over fenders onto their car and then slap 50mm spacers behind their seven inch wide wheels to make it look "cool."
The only thing I can say is just ignore it. These kids don't really care about their cars, and within ten years they'll be onto the next "in" thing. For the rest of us, just try to ignore the 240 tourists, which is all they really are.
