The other day I posted on a pic of an Acura RSX on Facebook. This paticular RSX was built for track days. It was a well built RSX. Clearly someone had put a lot of time and effort into building this car. Right as I posted a comment on the pic did the hate start coming in. People complained about the wing, or the wheels, or that it wasn't hellaflush, or needed moar low, and lastly it was a Honda. Kinda ironic that someone complained it was a Honda on a Honda page. As I read the comments it began to hit me, there are less car enthusiasts out there. More and more it seems people get into the car world to follow trends. They only want to see cars that are built in there particular style. It doesn't matter to them if the car is well built. They will hat on it if it is built any other way than they like. The problem with this comes from inter net "thugs". They tell everyone why their style is right. If you don't like it, they will go after you personally. It is a shame that people no longer respect cars for what they are. So I have decided I am going to I to show what it takes to be a real car enthusiast.
1. A real car enthusiast respects car for the time and effort that went into their build.
2. A real car enthusiast will look at the build as a whole. Meaning they give credit to a build no matter what style the car is built for. ie; track car, stance or everyday car.
3. A real car enthusiast does not discriminate on the country of origin of the car. Meaning if you are an import car fan you still can respect well built domestic and European cars.
4. A real car enthusiast can attended any type of show or race and be happy.
5. A real car enthusiast loves all genres of cars. From hot rods, rat rods, muscle cars, imports either: track, stance, or street, euros, exotics, choppers, led sleds, mini trucks to off-road vehicles.
I personally am friends with people that have different tastes in cars as me. The good thing about it is we all respect fine built cars. Cause after all we are all automotive enthusiasts. Thereis no need for hate in our world. We should be proud of what we build. Not worry about people out there waiting to hate on us because we don't fit in their "scene". Remember folks get out there and build your car and be proud of it!
