Honestly i have yet to see where im not liked on other forums. I love son240 myths lol. Just like taurus and automatic jokes LMAO. Some people actually believed I put taurus brakes on my 240. And some people kept thinking I had an automatic past the time I converted to a manual (obviously I bought the car initially as an automatic). Some people even believing I don’t have an s car? Hilarious. So much so that they spread this hate to others that knew NOTHING about me and they started attacking me on zilvia.
Like I said I’m not liked by drifters and stretch nazis on zilvia, yet others liked me on zilvia, I opened up an alternative view to 240s, people don’t like that?? Even on here 2+ years ago when I insulted the holy grail of drifting to people and asked about time attacks, grip type stuff, people laughed at me and mocked me. I was called stupid for even thinking it lol. Then mark started track days (which is nice and I can’t wait until next year).
Even driftwerks i made peace with some of those guys when they went beyond son240 myths. “You were banned on all s chassis forums” uuh right. More myths. Not liked on Freshalloy? I think not. I met quite a few cool people on there Not liked on Nico? By a few SR fanboys maybe yup, who were too butt hurt about anything non-SR. Australia forum? Dutch forum? UK forum? Swedish forum? NewZeland forum? Texas forum? I can name quite a few. They’re descent guys, no problems?
Yeah, I’ll keep propagating an alternate view to s chassis cars, whether you hate it or not. I believe in 240s being more useful than sliding around. Some people may not like it, but it’s a car, not an icesled. And why not, I’ll keep propagating alternatives to drift/jdm-brands. People don’t need to be butt hurt about it.
And honestly everyone keeps talking about how they don’t want baller/bling things, and how their cars are daily, how they are cheap/don’t have money, yet when you are given a perfectly proven choice you respond in awkwardness. That’s why there’s argument. Why not be more inquisitive and accepting?
For example even people arguing about motor choices, it’s silly, or bashing KATs, there’s a guy on here who never posts who has one that is doing quite fine. He’s rebuilding one now with a gt42 in mind. He did it all himself, no outside help or shops, etc… Yet because it’s a foreign idea, people get emotional and spout raging ideas… Just because everyone has an SR on here doesn’t mean it’s the only way or right way either. I’m fine with that. However what I like to deal with is that when something is better, say it is, and why it is, not just go with the flow. It’s hilarious how many times I was seen in the city and someone asked me “so whacha got under there?”, “a stock KA”, “so when are you going SR?” and I chuckle.
Break the trend. Diversify in that sense as well. Our cars are not just drift-whores. People don’t have this problem in the UK or Germany. There cars are quite diverse. In Australia they do have a slight bias towards drift cars, but, they have some amazing rally and track cars as well. State-side drift-mania is everywhere but slowly a few individuals are proving otherwise. In Canada we here have everyone having this brand-fetish and automatically wanting to be a drifter, slammed, thank God not yet “stretched obsessed” like in the states, and that’s it. Mark started track days which is a wonderful thing though and I look forward to that again… but we are so close minded. I honestly don’t get into debates or arguments with other places around. They’re more open minded and accepting. Most car discussions remain just that, discussions. Yeah on zilvia people still get their heads bitten off if anyone questions stretched wheels But I don’t waste my time with that anymore.
