Sorry for the shitty title, couldn't think of any other way to word it.

Fast cars go fast, duh. Do you think driving them fast and aggressively is driving them how they're meant to be driven, or driving like you're an asshole with road rage?

I can't choose a side. Discuss!

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
 
it depends on the person and situation. Someone can be driving like they're meant, but still be in full control and not scaring the shit out of other drivers.
 
asshole. Alll situations. Or, insecurity tiny wee wee syndrome. Or they're 16-18 and trying to be cool.

There's zero practicality to driving fast cars, at least not on public roadways in the US. Little boys and tonka trucks IT GOES FAST LIKE VROOMVROOM MOMMY

I want to punch every dipshit I see revving engines.

Seriously...I get the appeal to engines and how things work and building and taking apart and whatnot, but for cars to be your go to primary hobby? You have to be a really unimaginative, dull, meat and potatoes kind of person. Or have a little dick.
 
lol.

y u mad tho?

I think there is a time and place for going fast whether you're in a fast car. There's a fine line between driving aggressively and driving like an asshole.
 
I disagree whole-heartedly with this post. People could say skiing is a gross waste of time and money but you and I both do it and love it.

I also love cars. I like reading about them, watching top gear, driving, and building/modding them. Am I dull? No. Do I have a small dick? No.

I don't drive like an asshole, in fact I drive like most people, at a responsible speed. Occasionally I'll use all the horses in my car when I'm in a position where the risk to other drivers is at a minimum. Sure people may say thats dumb, but the same could be said to people hucking triple corks of 100 ft. jumps. Both things are dangerous but if you are responsible and know what you're doing then it usually not a problem.
 
My tone is less mad, and much more condescending and judgmental. The why part should be obvious: I look down on people who buy car magazines with girls on the front and line up for movies like Biker Boyz. I've never known someone who spent their paycheck on NOS and exhaust systems to be bright, well rounded people. In my personal experience the whole car culture is made up of pseudo macho, manchild clowns. So, yeah,
 
I agree with this in some situations. if youre buying a ricer and trying to make it "sick" then try to pedal faster than me on the highway ill think your a fag cuz it sounds like your whole car is going to fall apart.

but if someone rips past me in a nice mercedes e550 or 911 ill give em props for being able to afford that car.
 
celebrating material excess and living the life of luxury is fine by me, but I don't think about mercedes drivers as being enamored with vroomvroom, I think of closeted gays with pooka shell necklaces and bad tattoos with generally empty heads racing up and down the highway on friday nights.
 
anyone who gets upset when someone makes fun of the fact that their vehicle is to compensate for a small penis, has a small penis
 
i dont mind people that drive fast what pisses me off is when you by a big ass f350 diesel, put a 12 inch lift on it, and never take it off road......why!? tons of people in my town do this and honestly i just dont see the point. have fun getting 10 miles per gallon while looking like a tool
 
Yeah, but your grammar is terrible, so I don't think you're qualified to judge whether or not someone is bright and well-rounded.
 
lol, just lol. Car people are so meek it is not even funny. I think your idea of the car tuner culture is what you have seen in the "fast and furious".

I could see how you assume people like this are big, bad, scary guys.

give your head a shake.... its just a group of people that share a hobby. You will find assholes and great people in any type of situation or group of people.
 
I drive a manual and I feel like I can't drive it slowly. For me though driving fast is more about acceleration than top speed.
 
You're uninformed, and an asshole. Have you ever driven a sporty car on a track or a cool curvy road? Have you actually encountered any true gear heads and not just the Rockstar energy fast and furious crowd?

Driving is incredibly rewarding and entertaining, and frankly, you're a twat muffin for trying to use "meat and potatoes" as an insult. They are delicious. sod off.
 
I went to high school....I occasionally sit at red lights....and I drive through strip mall parking lots. Those things make me especially privy to the inner workings of car culture, and as it turns out, it sucks.

Sorry, duder.

Post a novel, with videos, attacks on my grammar, etc. and yet my opinion holds fast that there is a strong link between a fascination with fast cars and douchebaggery. For every one of the adorable little unassuming asians of the car world, there's an evil lil dick doppelganger with white sneakers.

I didn't start the car guy reputation anymore than I started the skier guy reputation and yet within stereotypes and generalizations about groups of people some truth often lies. Now, as my lil ole opinion has been met with such ire, I'd say it's clear that there's quite a bit of sand in the collective car douche vag and you'd all do well to gently blow it out of there.
 
Going on a wide open road pushing the car to its liming = driving how its supposed to be driven.

Rush hour and driving how the car is supposed to be driven = asshole

 
I'd assume for the same reason that you go around proofreading forum posts. Boredom? Sitting at a dead retail job for the last nine hours? All I know is that it's a surefire bet that car people will meet any and all criticism with foaming mouths and vaginas and I haven't been let down.
 
I do not give a shit about what you think of the car culture, just keep given'r buddy and ill keep doing what i am doing. I wont attack your grammar, that was another chap here but I just think it is funny that you think yourself an expert on the culture with literally no exposure to it, that in itself speaks volumes of yourself.

Personally, i am not the type of person to hate on other people for no real reasoning. Something about the tuner culture really must have rustled your jimmies.
 
It's not proofreading if you only read it once.
Also, you gotta define "car people" better. There are dudes that go build cars for the track that go fast as fuck but drive minivans as their DDs. Then there are dudes that lower the shit out of their VWs, stretch the tires, and give them stupid camber. Then there are dudes that drive average cars but just love driving. Which ones do you mean?
 
Oh and I drive way too fast and I'm in high school. Umad? I also do it in cars your parents couldn't afford. (directed at op) ;)
 
Its possible to own a nice car and not be a douchebag. I have a late model Subaru STI that has some modifications done to it(Not by me, previous owner). The worst things I've encounter are when I'm at a street light and a dude in a evo pulls up, or when I'm at McDonalds and some random dude starts asking about my car. lol

Just because you 'can' doesn't mean you should. The majority of major car wrecks I've seen are Subaru wrx's, big modified trucks and such. I'd rather get to my destination safely and take longer then make the Highway Patrol/State Troopers respond to my vehicle accident and make them more traumatized. IMO
 
this happens every single time i make a fucking thread on NS. the NS gods fucking hate my soul...

the second after I hit post, shitstorm ensues

what about me can you bash me please?!?!?!

I spend lots of monnnieess on my car and race it on the racer tracks where the ricers are not at.. does that make me a dummy fuck nut child?

andd i meaann i spend lootttsss of MONINNIEEESSS DDOOOODDD.

btw you are a fuckin bitch.
 
omggg dooood you are likeee sooo coooooooollll and like I realllyy look up to you?? how did you get sooo many smarts did you go to lots of schools for them?

OH MY GOD LIKEEEEEE telling people what they should spend their money on and like totallllyy what their hobbies should be you are likekkkkeeee sooo fuckin coool dudeee.. will you blow me?
 
he means all the douche d000dds that drive nicer cars than him that he wants to be and the doood whos dicks he wants to suckk!!!!
 
you dont get it, some people just simply like cars more than others, its like a passion to some people. i get that for whatever reason you dont like other people going fast, but your inability to understand others perspectives and passions makes you sound very immature. just because other people have found their passion in it and you cant relate doesnt make them dumb or lesser than you. in fact they are more than you, i have the feeling you are one of those guys that has no passion at all and are very insecure so people that flaunt what they like to do near you just sets you off in an immature rage. get over it bro and grow up. also i am not very much a car person myself
 
its ok. he says he likes cars for the mechanics of them and how they work. LOLLLOOOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

thats what most real car loves like and thats why they spend money on them, to find out how much they can get out of a working engine and how hard they can push it(on the track). I like taking a little 2.0 liter motor and trying to push more power out of it than most V8s that are heavily modified do. Its just fun and yes it makes my little dick feel gigantic.

anyways hes probably jealous he has a big dick but doesnt know how to use it.
 
Definitely agree with the lack of practicality for everyday driving, but there is definitely a time when they can be enjoyable.

You need to open your mind a little...maybe look beyond your current situation in life, especially fiscally, and realize that there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy performance motor sports without being a dick head.

and too the idea that you have to be dull and unimaginative: if you're skilled at it, you are likely very intelligent and imaginative, it just might use a different side of your brain than the arts, such as writing, painting, etc.
 
you're looking at the douche-wannabe part of motor sports culture...

Your missing the majority of motorsports
 
Welp, I didn't read any of the thread after the OP, but here's my opinion:

On a track: driving like the car was meant to be driven

On a road: assclown 98% of the time. Whether you're the douchebag drag racing the ricer in the Dodge Neon on the highway, the douchebag crossing the double yellow in the twisties, or the douchebag weaving in and out of traffic because you want to "see what your car can do," you're still a fucking douchebag, and deserve to crash into a semi truck.
 
You really are a fucking idiot.

Car culture isn't like what you see in the movies or on TV. Sure there is the "crowd" that really are morons that go to Zumiez and buy every Ken Block shirt in stock, throw a monster sticker on their car, and think they are car people.

But then you have people like me, who have grown up working on cars, gone to school for automotive, and even worked as a mechanic. Then on top of that, traveled 1000+ miles to meet car people at a show you've only ever talked on on the internet and phone to spend 5 days with in a cabin. I don't think you realize the camaraderie behind car culture and the amount of people that are "just like you." I've met many good friends through cars and had good times with them. It doesn't matter who you are and where you're from and how much money you have, its all about being able to get together and have a good time to share something you're all passionate about.

As for the whole car culture being "pseodo macho, manchild clowns," 2 people I stayed with in Georgia are active members in the Military and another one owns his own Coilover business. They sure sound like clowns to me.

Before you go writing off car culture as idiotic, waste of money, etc, I suggest you do a little more research and actually try and understand it before you chastise it. To car people like me, you make yourself sound very ignorant.

Only reason why i would buy a fast car.
