If you are into the scene though man, more power to you. I came in after one of the blow-ups and we tried to have a pittsburgh scene in 02, then it kind of blew up, then people started this bds blah blah blah who cares whatever crap. So I’ve seen the cycle before local. It might have changed recently, but I don’t have time nor the desire to care about the show scene or local drama.

ohman. i can see why, that was a bad time in the local scene, thats when all the drama started. i dont blame you one bit for not being interested in it… but, now, the scene has changed for the better.

No arguing, man. And yep, Oktoberfest was last time. I just don’t have time to go somewhere and park or eat on a regular basis. I want to drive. So I admit I haven’t attended much and can’t base my opinion on anything other than that. Could be that maybe it’s just 'cause I’m older and don’t have many tats and piercings and emo hair, but a lot of those dudes just look at me like I’m a moron. Which I very well could be. So, maybe it has nothing to do with my car but instead is their perception of me because I don’t look/act/talk like them.
I’m not looking down on anyone because I’ve owned VW product most of my life, and here on this thread would be the first mention of what I’ve owned in the past. I’ve never walked around saying “I owned that car back in the day so I’m better” or anything. I just walked around trying to engage people in conversation and talk about their cars.
So all you’re smelling is what you perceive from what was written by me in this post. I never once judged anyone by their car or what they looked like. I judged them for being an ass for not responding in courtesy when someone engages them in conversation. Maybe, like anything else, it’s just a few bad emos that ruin it for everyone.
The reason I am at Pittsspeed as opposed to vortex and crooked euros is because I appreciate ALL cars and appreciate the many different backgrounds and ages of people who contribute to the forum. That must make me a redneck who knows nothing.
But it’s cool. Even when I go to Triumph G2G with my bike, the old skool Triumph guys don’t recognize the newer model bikes as being “true” Triumphs. Happens everywhere. So, naturally I migrate towards people who have same types of car. But I still try to keep an open mind.

i see where your comin from. youre perception of the scene is like everyone else i know that thinks its all tats and piercings and emo hair. theres so much more than “those” kids. personally i dont like those people in the scene at all, they are what gives us a bad name. theres normal people who are in the scene who are into more than just being retards. i know a buncha people who auto X their cars. theres are some who restore them to factory specs, they are some who track them, and there are some who just build em for fun… but i see where your comin from. personally, i just over look the one who give us that bad name and i stick to the people i know (my friends). from what ive learned about the scene, it more the comradarery(sp) than it is about the actual cars. but to each his own i guess.

glad we are seeing on the same level here now.

and as for the comment on the other brands/styles/makes, i can appreciate the ones that are built tastefully (im not gonna respect a civic with a huge body kit and wing or a beat F body with mismatched panels & a confederate flag painted on the hood) you get the idea.
