RE: Car Culture: VIP and what it means.
I used to be into cars. Then I realized that I only cared about cars because my dumb ass culture convinced me that I needed a nice one to get women. Then I realized that the type of women that were attracted to guys because of their cars were ignorant, vapid, gold diggers, and I quit caring about cars so much.
All of the stuff I learned while building awesome cars wasn't a waste though. I've been able to transition a lot of those skills into the invention and prototyping of DIY green tech, stuff that actually makes the world a better place.
Well lol on the contrary, a lot of the scene now, even at meets and stuff at least where I'm from is a complete sausage fest. It sucks for the guys trying to get girls lol.
I have a few friends that are still in the scene and the sausage ratio is sad. One really has to have a love for the cars these days. If I ever accidentally get rich, I might have to find a 72 Celica and put a twin turbo 1UZFE in it, mid engine mount... I doubt it will happen though.
What type of cars were you into?
My second car was a 7 second pro street 72 t-bird, then I got a 74 New Yorker, slammed it, and put 6 -mtx 15's in the trunk, then I got a mini truck, dodge d-50. I got tired of lowriders and built a 7 second Eagle Talon, then wrecked it and went back to lowriders and got a 72 Eldorado drop top. I put a predator carb on the 500 though and that thing would waste corvettes. After I ended up selling that one for $100 because I became homeless and didn't know better, I got out of cars for a while. After a few years I built a Mercury Cougar with a blown dohc 4.6. Then I got into rock crawlers and motorcycles. The only thing I do car wise these days is post apocalyptic vehicle builds but I'm too busted up to make too much progress so I'm trying to sell everything so I can build a solar/pedal powered camper trike.
