So THIS Is What It's All Come To?

The end of civilization as we know it is near. It's more than possible nowadays to put together a car using "______ style" or "JDM (not really) _______" or "_________ (insert any Chinese / Filipino / Taiwanese / Korean company name) _______." Indeed. The passion for the car is not based on quality, performance and dependable products, but based rather on some bullshit that looks like the real thing but it's about as fake (or genuine) as a ladyboy in Thailand. And it certainly doesn't help when people who are in the spotlight, e.g. "industry people," don't give a shit about things either. They just slap on shit cuz it's free. For shame, I say. For shame.

Look at the specs of a Nissan 240SX owned by Jarod DeAnza. He works at Meguiar's, closely associated with the Gumball and is an announcer for Formula Drift. So you figure, he's going to really give a shit what goes into his car, right? WRONG.


Megan Racing? Agency Power?



More Megan Racing? Craptora? Origin? Seibon?

Stuff made by people you never met, based on engineering that doesn't exist, sourced from who fuckin knows where and quality control you know nothing about. Nice job. So when an "industry person" doesn't give a shit (or hell, maybe they just don't know any better... that describes 1/2 the people who work in the "industry"), you end up with cars like this... put together by some turd who follow what they read in magazines:


More Megan Racing, Weapon R, OBX, Tsunami, "CTR style", "generation 2 M3" (what the fuck is that??), Tenzo, "OEM style", Rota, Dropzone, R-1


This car has to be the biggest collection of piece of shit parts on the planet. And guess what? That Nissan 240SX above only helps these fucked up ass manufacturers reap ever more profits from gullible suckers like this fool.

Take some fuckin responsibility. You shouldn't be in the "industry" if you can't even fix up your shit properly with proper goods. Free does not always = good. If you need free shit, at least ask the right companies. If they won't give it to you for free, then go buy it. Or do you not really give a shit at all?
