- Well somebody had to ask. Today we break down the stupidest things in car culture according to you! Different car builds, car culture, and some of my own personal experience. I went on twitter looking for a debate and oh man - I sure did get some crazy topics. Let's talk about it.

So glad people are calling out the take over community.
Takeovers taint regular car meets and I hate it.
#saynototakeovers
Like its gonna do anything
Taint
Street Takeovers completely killed my hometowns street racing scene believe it or not. From 2010-2016 before I moved, There were street races every friday and saturday night unless it rained. Even during the dead of winter they still would race so long as there wasnt ice or snowfall.
But when I revisited in 2018, They couldnt be found anywhere and I eventually found one of the guys who would regularly race. He said that they dont have races anymore because those street takeover guys came and bascally caused so much chaos that police would take anyone in that they thought had been part of the street races. That and there was suddenly a lot of fights, gang members showing up causing issues, dudes cars being fucked with, they even had a few people get guns drawn on them because these street takeover dudes kept provoking shit and then retaliating when people had enough of their shit. Funny enough, this was when Dodge Chargers and Challengers began to tale off with being stolen and used for street takeovers/public endangerment. So my cities street racing club called it quits and they havent gone back to it since.
Also doesnt help that most of our racing spots are now built up and are fully built communities. But that 2010-2016 period was a great run and I had lots of fun memories from it.
@@BabaYagaRacing take over bmw d bags screaming at you then crashing... epic... WIth ya brotha!
I noticed this vibe starting 5-10 years ago. Meets in the early 2000s, in contrast, were so much more open. Even though I was never super into American muscle, I was always treated well at these events.
Since about 2010, I’ve only been to one truly good car meet that had that same open feeling like I experienced 20 years back. It was one of your meets, David. Waltham, MA in 2017 when you met with subscribers (filmed a bagged Audi Q5 review then IIRC). great vibes, great energy, loved it! One of my fondest memories of a car meet in over 10 years. I wish you would do more of them!
Average car meets of the last few years? Unfriendly vibes, and I feel as if my brain cells are fading into the distant nothing, never to return.
I’ve had good experiences at cars and coffee, at least in my area
We need more influencers talking about takeovers. They've ruined SO many meets it's sad, and they're some of the reason for some stupid car laws in states.
Yeah? Then why does California have some of the strictest car laws but we’re the only ones who can do a sideshow right, cope
I heard from a guy at work once " my dad and brother say changing oil is a scam" hahaha
Worst argument I ever heard, literally lost brain power watching the guys story. “Park and chills are stupid because everybody expects you to have crazy rare parts and judges your shit, sideshows are for real drivers cause all you need is a rear wheel drive car and bars as a driver” Words of a clapped v6 mustang owner
*claped V6 dodge owners
He’s wrong about being real drivers, but Park and chill are stupid. Bunch of losers who only care about the retail price of a part.
@@mroversteer3739 *clapped v6 Camaro owners
One of the worst arguments I've ever heard was having your car get called a shitbox cause it's just old. And not shiny and brand new.
Has been for some time now, unfortunately
Take overs have been happening for years even during the height of the hot rod era it happened but back then there was never social media and for the most part it was done in a “controlled” environment away from others. Biggest problem is the crimes associated with it whether directly or indirectly. Us in the motocross community been dealing with it for years due to the wheelie boys that’s made going to the track so much more of a hassle. And the whole “ you don’t know how to have fun” argument is the dumbest counter argument I’ve seen as “it’s fun” till you slide right into a person and that person is paralyzed or you lose control and hit a random motorist.
Even with gas prices rising, I’m pretty sure it’ll be the longest time until I get an EV. That being said if i’m given the opportunities to drive them I wouldn’t be able to say no
Idk why high gas milage hybrids seem to be in the way out in favor of full ev.
Anything with 20" wheels & up being called a donk 🤦🏽♂️.. a Donk is a 71-76 Impala or Caprice
Thank you….. honestly if a donk is done right it looks good imo
@@CIVICX3 True, true
Literally in my local car Facebook group a new thing that has started is people promoting their “elicit substance business” like straight up on the Facebook page…
I would love to see the takeover rant. Maybe collab with drew peacock? That would be gold.
Imma post a hot take, you technically can pull a “drift” in a fwd or awd platform as well but only because the sole difference between a power slide and a drift is quite simple. A drift is a controlled slide initiated before and through the apex/apices; a power slide is a controlled slide initiated during or after the apex/apices.
Not saying I can respect the fwd “drifts” as a drift but it I guess technically can be called a drift if you pull the handbrake at the right time and follow through with the weight around the whole bend.🤷♂️🤷♂️
Go to the car meets in Tokyo Japan 🇯🇵
They’re well mannered and tame. I don’t go to car meets anymore. Just go to the track and see what my car 🚗 can do is enough.
There is no replacement for displacment. Turbos have a displacement, and bigger turbos have a bigger displacement. The same goes for superchargers, so yeah there is still no replacement for displacement.
I hate takeover culture! Whenever i go to a gas station i get harsh looks cus it's assumed i do it too cus i have a nice car. Plus meets get shut down super quick before things even get loud, cus cops assume it's going to happen.
I learned on a manual but just found a great deal on a automatic mx5 nd 2020 and I'm actually loving it. It's lots of fun
I have an 07 maxima with a CVT.. yes it's terrible but it's really funny when you turn a VQ into a go kart because when you floor it it just holds 6k to 6500 rpm THE WHOLE TIME as you yeet past someone in an f150 or whatever that cut you off
“You’re car is slow so you’re not having fun”
there was a member of the car club I'm in who started an argument about takeovers and defended them vehemently, talking about them as if they were the best thing you could do as a car person, and basically saying they were like real life Need for Speed or real life GTA and calling us pussies or lame for not attending takeovers. After refusing to back down and stop being an annoying little squeaker and multiple warnings from veteran members we kicked him out of the club and banned him from the discord server, I think he tried going on instagram trying to call out and smear the club but I don't remember, the whole situation just hurts my brain and I'm glad that he's no longer flying our colors that kid was a real shitter.
I'll still stick with no replacement for displacement as a rule of thumb. Even with turbos more displacement will make more power with the turbo. So in my opinion it's still a good rule of thumb.
Bro the same people who say it’s too expensive to go to a track are the same people wippin a hellcat in a intersection with a 2004 mustang with a welded diff buying 4 sets of tires a month lmao.
Many people aren't aware of the term wreck less driving
I'm an old head in the game now. Nothing but cars and coffee and track days for me...
If you think weaving in and out of traffic is always dumb you should come to ny where people go 55 in 3 lanes side by side and dont speed up, slow down or move over
The thing about it not being smart to buy a new car , was true for sure at one point . But now that used cars are getting to be ridiculously overpriced I'm not so sure it's true anymore . In the past the average car lost half of its value within 2 years of ownership . Meaning that if you bought it used you got a ridiculously good deal and the person who bought it new got ripped off . Even gas guzzling trucks are holding their value better than they ever have before . But not that long ago you could expect to pay about $2,000 for one of them .
When a chevy guy says that a corvette is a supercar😂 and dont know what a Ford GT is😂😂
I “did stuff” to my car and I’m 39. That stuff? LED license plate lights. That adds some HP right? 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Ayyyyyee!!! My comment made it into the vid!!!
I've heard so many of these same hot takes over the years. A lot of the "no replacement for displacement" type stuff from boomer co workers.
Call out takeovers. Takeovers are the cancer of the car community

Financing a car IS always a terrible decision! End of story no discussion ;) Debt is bad. Debt on a depreciating asset is stupid.
Defs agree with german cars all having that *one* thing that always goes wrong. I have an 09 audi A4 (2.0T) and on those cars the chain tensioners *all* catastrophically fail at around 100-120k Miles, and they all burn oil from the factory (two things I guess) If you are buying one that hasnt had the oil burn issue fixed factor a rebuild into the cost of purchase.
I love how angry Chelsea Denofa gets when asked about takeovers.
“Your Miata can’t beat my dads mustang in a drag race” or just the general “Miatas are slow” arguments

OMG GT IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN A V6
*Me standing next to a turbo v6 and has gt appearance package "
Electric cars have to be driven around 80k miles before they are carbon equal to gas cars. All of the emissions are already produced before the car hits road .
I'm a little iffy on financing a car is better. Yea if you get a car that's brand new or lightly used then yea. They are usually more reliable. But I've owned some pretty old cars that i never had issues with. And other times they had issue a were operator induced lol. Like my 1994 3000gt only had 1 legit issue when the clutch went out because the slave cylinder started leaking. My 2009 eclipse was flawless, my 2010 Camaro rs had no issues and my 2008 Volvo C30 only has a small issue with the tire pressure and rear sway bar bushings are worn. Had more issues with much newer cars. Like a 2018 Acadia the shifter column failed. And a 2017 Honda civic the starter failed in the first month of ownership. The shitboxes just keep trucking on.
Hear it all the time from my lil brother, SUVs aren't meant to be fast

Takeovers are just bad, seeing a bunch of dodges doing wreckless driving in the middle of the road and almost causing accidents
You literally became a part of the problem right off the bat in this video.
A "drift" is basically oversteer, which is 100% possible in a FWD car. When you're talking about driving theory, drifting is driving beyond the limits of traction in an oversteer situation. Feint drifts, four-wheel drifts, and basic rear biased drifts can happen in all manner of situations, and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have to be initiated by the rear wheels during POWER oversteer. FWD lift-throttle oversteer is a "drift".
Don't be a part of the problem you're railing against... this is SO COMMON in the car world, and I see it all too often. Don't be that guy.
You're falling into the trap of defining drifting my the sport that shares the same name. Formula D is 100% power oversteer drifting, but it is not the ONLY type of drifting, or the definition of drifting.
You're an ambassador for the culture, and are watched by a lot of easily influenced young ones... now you've given yourself responsibility.
DO BETTER.
The most baffling one I’ve ever heard was some dude referring to my stock turbo STi stating “just disconnect the wastegate and it will make 30+ psi and 400+whp”.
I’m well aware it doesn’t work like that. At all.
I don't need a turbo because I have VTEC.......
Street racing on anything other than a closed stretch of road.
Adding sad boy stickers adding hearts on your car trying to impress girls
As someone who's been passionate about the culture for the last 20 years seeing how it's getting ruined by these clout chasing kids who got nothing else better to do than to do take over meets just to say "it's like a movie out here" other reasons why it's getting so hot that the higher powers that be are starting to crack down on us
I do feel bad for the legitimate women in the car scene. Because for every handful of them, you get a ton of thirst-tokers. You know, the ones who blatantly use sex appeal to get views, even if there's no actual content. Because let's be real, we live in a world where sex sells and some exploit that fact.
Weaving makes you a moron!! It definitely doesn’t really get you there faster! I’ve seen the idiots chasing each other weaving in and out of traffic surprised not to see a basket!! But eventually they’ll definitely meet a casket!!
Damm kids making it hard on real car enthusiast like myself. I can’t take my car out for a cruise without stressing if I’m gonna get stopped. It’s hard enough to drive a modified car in SoCal. the last thing the car world needed is more negative attention. I blame there parents teach your kids act right
There's only so many times you can watch jackasses ruining their Mustangs and Hellcats before getting bored.
When I say that I'm a good driver, I mean in the sense that I'm a safe driver. Not a performance driver.
AHAHAHAHA I love that Facebook page literally gold
They don't make em like they used to is another horrible stereotype/hot take plaguing the car scene imo.
Sorry but it's just actually called a wheel, the rim is the outer lip. Like it's not rocket science peeps
Do a deep dive on I’m tired of respecting it all builds that group is by far my favorite group
I feel you 100% on takeovers. Please make a video about them. Use that influencer status to educate people about how selfish and irresponsible they are. I'm not against people having fun, but when you insist on having fun at the expense of society functioning, that's a serious problem.
yess @ThatDudeinBlue
The people that attend takeovers are too dense to see and comprehend stopping. Quite possibly the dumbest demographic of the car community
“Do it, do it, do it”
Yes!! And that’s always the excuse when you call them out… “we just having fun… chill”
Do it but go to an actual takeover to have a real perspective and first hand real footage!
I'm not against street racing but I am against doing it anywhere romotely near a car meet. Ever heard the term don't shit where you eat?
Thank you, my group stopped meeting when the state patrol setup a statewide task force due to takeovers but we used to drive an hour out of the city to a 4 mile straight freshly paved area of road with nothing remotely lose to it besides this one parking lot in the middle for a hiking trail. We had permanent lights setup and never used to be bothered by cops before takeovers. We kept it real secret and you had to have a dyno sheet over 600whp to be accepted into the group
@@tomsellout9576 that shit sounds dope!!
Factsss. Leave the meet head out to the race spot and then come back to the meet
This is the reason why I've stopped going to car meets. Nothing but little kids that ruin it for all us grown-ups lol
Same here! I used to go to them back in 2010 and that’s around the time takeovers started and that was my Q to never go back
Punk ass little boys in rice burners lol I'm only 21 but I love muscle cars primarily the oldies
Damn I wish I had some excitement at my local shows honestly. It’s all really old cars in perfect condition. And if you even as much as pull away from the meet in a spirited fashion you get a ticket.
Some of us was those kids at one time. Lol
@@petrolhead8851 q
Seeing takeovers kills my brain cells and seeing instagram reels of people "chopping it up" in traffic kills my soul... and it's always some young adult in a Hellcat financed at 30% APR for 8 years with a $1500 monthly payment lmao.
Yes.
This.
Dead on accurate
THIS
100% correct
Any vehicle being financed is financially and emotionally draining at the end of the day
Yes, you should definitely do a video on takeovers. Us car enthusiasts already have enough "guns pointed at us" for lack of better words, from local politicians, police officers, the general public and the EPA. We don't need just one more thing to make us look bad like take overs. People get seriously injured and killed at these things, and it just makes the local community hate car enthusiasts and gives them motivation to discourage legal permitted meets, etc. For fear of them turning into a "take over" type event.
I wish there was something we could do about it... I feel voiceless.
Yup, my friend was killed at a takeover, not even one of us it was a non-car person that got mad and was zooming around. I'll copy and paste what I said in my own post but it's not even about cars anymore. "Here in the DMV car culture has been stupid well the car scene in general but especially here in the DMV. It's not about cars anymore it's about a person's race, sex, sexual orientation, or a language (Hispanics) they do or don't speak. Or if it is about cars and you OVERLY like cars you are hated for it. Or it's all about likes, followers, and clout chasing. Males in the scene act more like females AKA Regina Georges now. The girls now in the scene are the ones who are cool I have had no issues with females. It's the males now who are drama queens. Talking about people hating someone. When I tell my truth I'm crazy or playing victim I have a whole video on my experience in the car scene from the day I went to my first car meet. Yet to edit it but it talks about everything."
In my city, The Takeover crowd alone was what eliminated my city's street race scene. Our racing scene was very civil and inclusive. They welcomed anyone in who was willing to behave and just enjoy the meets/races like everyone else. But after I left for Denver, the takeover scene just kind of took over and became a serious threat to the group. All the takeover guys in my hometown were from the hood and they just began to cause absolute chaos every meet and eventually got it disbanded due to threats with guns and them fucking with other racers cars while they werent close to their cars. Along with other stuff that just elevated the over all liability with them around.
@@TrVlogs82 yes to everything you said and I'm not even that much into cars.
@@remissiveslave Lol, thank you.
True story; about 3 weeks ago I finally decided to head to a local meet. Given the state of the community I was expecting childish behavior, but I've honestly never been more embarrassed to be a car enthusiast.
Burnouts, revving, actually arguing with other people about their cars. One guy was getting shit on because he has an automatic. Another one was torn apart so bad for having rep wheels he just left. Somebody tried to rip on me because my car is on OEM wheels with stock suspension. Not jokingly, mind you. Straight up "You're not modified, you don't deserve to be here."
There was a collision when two idiots tried to out-do one another, which resulted in a fight. After the fight the guy took off in his (almost written-off) car, hitting a random woman who was just trying to improve her photography skills.
The car scene is a disgrace. I've had people get mad at me in traffic because I wouldn't race them. All I have is a 4th gen mazda with an intake, and a cat-back, but 700hp Hellcats will cut me off if I don't want to race them.
There's far too many people in the car scene with way too fragile egos.
Takeovers are the CANCER of the automotive community 🤦🏻♂️
ICEs are more toxic to the community.
The EPA is at about the same level
@@remissiveslave same thing with Dot safety bullshit like not being able to wear a race harness on the street type bs
Partly why I've given up with cars
@@jayquickscope4446
facts,plus they sued our cars about the dirty air.But we don’t have to worry too much about the fuel cuz Formula 1 already developed biofuel,and it’s only made out of corn and food waste,and we can use this to turn tables on those electric “cars” xd
Drifting in an intersection takeover, is just something you do when you're 4 months behind on payments, and the repo man is on his way lol
I did repo's for like two years 😂 those cars were mine for nothing to blow tires off and jump them as far as possible for 1-3 weeks at a time 😂 I would get repo's so often I used them as daily's. I would park like five of them at my house at a time and fuck them things up lol
Building a car for yourself should really be one of the only reasons you’re doing it, building a car for validation of others is essentially just being a poser.

The "takeover smooth brains" in Minneapolis seem to have a habit of using stolen cars, wrecking, and then ditching the car.
Yo another twin city native, I can’t agree more. I started avoiding all of non permitted meets. Not sure if you heard about what happened at cars and crafts last weekend but seriously f*** takeovers and the morons who participate in them. I hope they don’t cancel cars and crafts permanently

@@crs0176 yeah as in meets that aren’t automatically broken up by police on site. I enjoy being able to grab some pizza and a beer from a local food truck while I hangout with buddies and enjoy the meet than have to drive all over the state because police kick you out of every spot within minutes of showing up. I did the race scene for 3 years and the takeovers have literally ruined it so bad it’s not even worth going. Yeah, I like permitted meets like cars and crafts at the local brewery, cars and coffee Saturday mornings at the local mall, you know events where the police actually setup a space for you to meet and you don’t have to worry about getting 50 tickets a year. Grow up dude.
My buddy went to one of the “race meets” last weekend and nearly got shot because everybody wants to be gangster these days. Some guys pulled up and opened fire cause they had beef with the guy in the car next to him. Our state patrol is now cracking down on ALL modified vehicles any time of day so my full caged track built 240sx I spent 60k on is a rolling target. All thanks to f***ing morons who don’t know how to act.

The takeover one is spot on.
Facts
I feel like the online car community doesnt call it out like we should. Though whenever I've tried on instagram, Ive been called racist since the majority of the people I see doing it just so happen to be POC..... So basically its pointless at this point. I remember when it was an Isolated bay area ghettos thing, but it eventually spread to be the main source of problems with street racing and the car community.
I'd rather the Fart can Civic bois come back than let takeover bois continue to be allowed to exist with the wider car community.
When people say "oh yea I had one of those but I crashed it" saying it like it was an accomplishment, I have a respect for my cars, speeding everywhere and crashing is not cool
Takeovers are just for boy racers.. thinking theyre living in a fast and furious life without recignizing the dangers of takeovers. Even the street racing and car meets in that movie seemed to have more class than these takeovers nowadays. Cars and coffee, strongly built meets with people who enforce no burnout rules etc, organizing cruises and photoshoots, thats class on public road when youre involved in a mass group. David said it perfectly. The cop will bunch a takeover together on how one person is acting it reflects the group and could get everyone in trouble because of a couple people. . Its different when a police officer encounters a person in total isolation from other drivers, practicing spririted driving. The police officer will have a different reaction to a single party.
Its not worth your license. Most people need a license to get to work etc. Its also not worth someones life
This is spot on. I love to slide my s14 around but I always do it in deserted areas or when there’s nobody around. We have a massive issue with takeovers in my city and one day I found a deserted Kohl’s with two buddies who had never been in my s14 before to do some donuts. The only car around happened to be an undercover cop but he let me loose fairly quickly after looking at my license. Never checked my insurance which was technically storage insurance at the time, asked my driving record and verified I was telling the truth about my one ticket and told me to go “do this sh*t in your own city” to which I replied yes sir and promptly left. I had a 550hp RB popping at redline and shooting flames but nobody was around so I wasn’t putting anyone else at risk. I think the cop recognized how much work I had put into the car and that I just wanted to show some buddies a without driving three hours to a track and sent me on my way
Reasons why people do takeovers
*Drivers*
They live in the city where there’s no real drift spots so intersections are the biggest area for them. All the other spots around the city are burnt so all the different groups need to come together at intersections so there’s enough people to block off the cops.(unless the cops come from 4 sides and trap you in the blockers will buy you time to make it out the other side). Or it’s the slammed trucks and Infiniti’s and dodges doing one wheel peels and thinking it’s the hardest shit ever.
*spectators*
Their car is impounded or broken. They like to get videos of (good drivers / people getting smacked / cars crashing into each other / cool cars / bad drivers / fights).
IM GONNA WRITE MORE JUST GETTING TIRED👋
I miss being able to drive without being challenged by every so called “muscle car enthusiast” which really just means kids that convinced parent or young adult put everything they have into getting a shiny dodge ________. Then assuming they know how to drive them because the car salesman showed them how to do a burnout.
A lot of people are at fault for where the culture is heading. But no one wants to take fault when someone gets hurt.. I just took my dog out for a walk and I can see where the neighborhood A-hole in the white charger likes to do burnouts.. well last night he clearly hopped the curb.. where people walk their dogs or exercise… tire marks showing a complete loss of control leading into the curb… this guy has been doing donuts at least 3 times a week.
Doesn’t matter how well you do it if you aren’t in a controlled environment.
Long comment.. my bad but this video hit home big time lol I’m from the Motor City and living in Texas has been a crazy shift in the car scene for me.
I miss the Dream cruise and all the civilized car enthusiasts. 😅
I take offense to that
I know quite a few middle aged as well as wrinkled types in hellcats and similar. And a few of those are definitely instigating.
@@MaddJakd I drive a Hellcat and find it's quite literally everyone else is instigating me to see how they can keep up with the Hellcat as a benchmark.
@@saaaahduuuuude1228 I don't doubt such, but that's you though. Not a universal indicator lol
@@saaaahduuuuude1228 I think it’s safe to say that if you are in that car, people do wanna see what it can do… I think that’s expected, the problem I have with it.. is that it’s never at an appropriate time or place, always in the thick of traffic & never on a clear straight smh
If you think that’s ridiculous how about being in an almost stock Ecoboost mustang and catching all that attention from a car that’s clearly faster than you… it’s like they don’t know what other cars are and can do themselves. 😅
Please call out the takeovers. People are usually being introduced into the car scene through these and it’s bad.
YES! The key to a happy car build journey is to do it for YOURSELF and no one else. Don't build a car for someone else, build a car for you.
That should be the main reason why you're buying or building your dream cars, it's not always about competition, hype, brag & rights through power, numbers, stats and etc but rather the connectivity that you have with the machine and being able to express yourself as an individual!!! Sad to say that in this modern car culture, you could rarely see people who has this kind of mentality in western part of the countries and most of those matured and genuine car enthusiasts are in Japan.
Sideshows and people who do nothing but donuts in stolen vehicles are the most disgusting ghetto thing I've ever seen in the car hobby. At least the big wheel fad they did for awhile took pride in their vehicle.
Big wheel car culture (which in and of itself is an offshoot of the Donk car culture) is still alive and well. It’s no longer a fad, it’s been a thing for almost 20 years now. They even have an official drag racing organization now. A lot of those big wheel cars have a chunk of money spent on them and they can really move, so don’t underestimate them!

Social media has destroyed car culture because of clout chasing and going viral. Call me old but I’m happy I had the chance to street race and enjoy the culture at its purists form in the early 2000s.
Finally someone gets it! I hate social media for that! And I miss the early 2000’s car scene as well man! Good times
Early 2000s were awesome, I miss those days.
@@miastewie1952 yes indeed
Counter argument - social media is also able to bring car people together like never before. Not all of it is clout chasing
I was just born 😭
I'm happy that multiple automotive RUclipsrs have called out takeovers now. you, and Drew Peacock as far as I'm aware.
"no replacement for displacement" from an engineering perspective stands true. If you build two engines that are otherwise identical in every way, the one with more displacement will make more power. HOWEVER just because you have a larger displacement, doesn't mean your car is faster.
Agreed. the fastest cars in the world are very large displacement.
*note I’m referencing alcohol drag cars
More RPM is another way without FI
Or responsive, certainly. Lots of horsepower has its joys, but I get more happies out of those more subtle things that don't need big numbers.
100% AGREED. I don't think he understood this one very well.
very true. power without control is nothing.
I got exited when I had my first real propper car to have fun in, a BMW 130i, decided to go on one car meet, pretty big one, saw some crazy cars but alot of kids and drunk people, decidede after 1 and a half hour to leave cause didn't want to stick around when everything got out of hand. So I went to my car only to see that someone has left a huge dent on the side of my car... That just ruin it all for me, this was last year, haven't been on a car meet since and not sure if I ever will attend one....
That's so sad. I'm sorry. I miss when car meets had 400 cars and no issues.
Try cars and coffee meets. They’re generally a lot more chill and since it’s in the morning (with free coffee and donuts depending on the meet) you’re less likely to get drunk idiots.
@@hatch450sx3 Our street racing group was fairly big, but it was so civil and inclusive. We could leave windows down, keys in the ignition and just leave our cars to socialize and watch the races. We'd have like 50 cars show up and all be filled with people, but nothing would get messed with. The worst we got was rules set at one of the Gas stations we'd all meet up at because we made it unusable lol.
But the Takeover boys invaded while i was out of state for a few years and they caused so much chaos and danger, that the entire race scene disbanded permanently. That and my hometown grew and enveloped all of our spots.
Find an organized cars and coffee. I really enjoy those, but I'll never go to a "meet" again. A similar thing happened to my buddies Focus ST at a meet.
@@GOPACKERSJT Good thing the only local meet I know of is mostly a bunch of old timers who hang out on a Sunday afternoon.
Glad someone made a video like this, tired of those nasty hoodcats running around everywhere.
The idiots from the hood have weaseled their way into the wider car community/street racing scene and are making it a chore to enjoy. They've made Mopars a legit hazzard to your life if you own one and have become the symbol of takeovers. The dudes from the hood who rock Mopars are the sole reason why my hometowns main street racing group disbanded sometime after I left in 2016. They caused so much shit that it became a serious liablity to go to the races and they fucked with others cars.
But you never hear any criticism about any of this though on social media, in facts its loved and almost encouraged. But you know who I see Bitching and calling this dumb shit out the most?? I see POC calling this insanity out and complaining about how they cant enjoy the Mopar brand because dudes with 0 self control have made owning a Mopar a serious liability and making it more stressful to properly enjoy the cars and the car scene in general without someone doing crazy shit and ruining a good, civilized time. Remember when you could laugh and mock the fart can civic dudes out of a group or community?? Yeah, those days are over it seems.
Yeah just waiting to get repossessed
Not sure if I’ve ever heard “hoodcats” before, but I will forever use it. Ty
@@Highlander1432 I assume a lot of those cars in takeovers are stolen. It's no coincidence there is an epidemic of Mopars being stolen and Mopars wrecking at takeovers.
A rim is the rigid circle the tire goes on, a wheel is the rim and tire combo ready to hit the pavement. I'm 39, to old to change, and will fight to the death over these antiquated definitions! 💪
I still call it a rim :)
I aint even know this was debated. Rims are rims
Probably the worst argument I've heard is the people who think when you get a new car, you need to IMMEDIATELY change everything about it. I recently picked up a mk7.5 golf r and I get asked a lot "when are you gonna get new wheels?" "Why haven't you gotten new wheels?" And it's baffling to some of these people that I want to wait until my relatively new Michelin pilot sport 4s tires wear down some more. They just think it needs to be modded to hell right away for it to be cool, or to solidify myself as a "true" car guy. It makes me think these people have never had other responsibilities, or they just think life is like Forza and you can just instantly change your entire car in a flash.
They would probably change the wheels and shove some budget crap tires on there.
Im enjoying my car in its bone stock form before I throw any power and actual mods to it, and it’s honestly great. Soak up the stock experience, then when you get the urge for more power, THEN you throw money at it. Just do quality of life and reliability stuff first.
More power means more breaking shit. More breaking shit means less time to drive it, and it also means less money. Lmao
I felt that, man. I can most certainly relate to that. I’m keeping my e36 stock until I decide to do some powertrain upgrades.
If you’re too poor to pay for upgrades just say that
@@halogod0298 Some folks aren't poor, rather we have other bills that need to be paid and we sometimes can't pay for mods. This isn't like forza where you can instantly install mods as soon as you get the car. Unless you are rolling in the dough and spend money on any modifications, you'll have to wait.
Mopar culture and the general toxicity that comes with immature people in overpowered stock cars has caused me to distance myself from the majority of the car scene, tbh. Probably why I'm into old, quirky cars that aren't particularly fast, or ones that are just downright slow. Stance culture, too. Low and slow doesn't hurt people like kids in Hellcats do.
I cant respect all builds. Why would I respect a Ford Fusion with a giant chassis mounted wing, fake hood scoops, with big booby anime girls all over the side 😐
Because that’s their thing. It might not be your thing but so long as the driver isn’t claiming it as something it isn’t, then to each their own.
@@djhero0071 nah respectfully I'm gonna laugh at it
@@djhero0071 thats cringe
The way I see it, respect all builds doesn't mean respect all cars. You can dislike the car all you want, but you should respect the time, dedication and passion that someone has for their car, even if you don't like it. In other words, respect all builds means respect the person behind the build, not the end product.
Exactly. I’d kinda say laughing at a dude’s build even though it’s probably in poor taste enthusiast wise doesn’t follow that rule of “respect the person”. I’d only argue it should be mocked if said person of the build takes it up to be more than what it is, ya know?
Like you said in a vid a few years back: "Don't be THAT PERSON that gets a car meet shut down."
Takeover type of stuff got me out of the racing scene. We had our racing spots that were normally pretty tame and cops would leave us alone, then the Charger groups and Lifted Truck groups kept coming out more and more and basically making it a party zone. We knew that once those groups started pulling in, it's time to leave because within the hour if the cops didn't run everyone off, there would be gunshots. It makes me sad because I loved it, and the closest track is about 3 hours away, I'm not making that drive every weekend. The culture on the street was better and so was the racing. It just wasn't worth it to me anymore.
I think you’re just adding the “lifted truck” part for optics because we know exactly who we’re talking about when you say the “chargers”. I’ve never seen the lifted trucks people cause the same problems the “charger” people do.
@@willfarinholt92 scenes can be different depending on where you are
@@willfarinholt92I’ve seen it a lot, it’s not a race thing 🤣
@@christopherjohnston6343 must be
@@keyonkelly5693 at least for my area it sadly is, wannabe gangsters with financed chargers and challengers or dudes with clapped g35/37s aswell calling themselves "car guys"
I’ll go ahead and say it. I absolutely love my scat pack but damn is the mopar community stupid. The vast majority of it is nothing but attention seeking clout chasers.
I remember once I was at this local car show and a dude was bragging about his bolt-on Hellcat, then I pointed out the carboned-out Mk4 Supra with a big turbo, fat rears, and a roll cage a few rows over and he got quiet really fast.
I’ve been saying this about the mopar community for awhile too. Most people are so insufferable to talk to and act like they’re the fastest on the road as soon as they get any trim Charger/Challenger. Glad to someone seeing the BS.
I swear to god buy an older car with smaller tires and lower limits and you will have more fun at legal speeds than you have ever had. Nothing beats getting sideways within the speed limit. Also the older the car the higher the chance the police will laugh or give a thumbs up.
Most fun I've had in a car was Rusty POS BMW e30 i bought for $500, so yes you're right
@@toddf93 That is perfect because I'm rocking an E30 318iS right now lol.
This is the best advice to anyone looking to get into the car scene. You will have way more fun in a modded Miata you built yourself than a R35 that is at impound speeds in 5 seconds.
@@toddf93 Agree with all this^ most fun car for me was an e21 1.8L 5 speed totally stock. Had to rev the crap out of it to keep up with traffic, and heel-toe downshift for every corner to help the brakes. Grocery run felt like a rally stage!
I'm more of a motorcycle guy now (ended up on this video bc of the algorithm I guess?) but the most fun car I ever had before embracing modern econo-boxes was a 1984 Subaru GL that had tires about as wide as a beer glass and 80 hp on a good day. I hooned the fuck out of that thing, only let it go because the frame rusted all the way through
"The developers of Grid Autosport have no idea about cars, the R34 just doesn't want to turn in this game. IRL the R34 is a drifting mashine!" - my buddy Chris.
No, he doesn't have a drivers license.
Stop going to inter city car meets (which end up as takeovers) and use your car to actually drive it properly, on country roads not on highways.
It's all of the elitist or fanboys and trend setters that got into cars, who aren't enthusiastic in anyway with emotion and care that an enthusiast is. The lack of respect and the ethic of rich elite "only supercars and legends" or sadboi's who do every dumb mod and don't know crap about the car. To much bias in my opinion and no knowledge.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯
The dark side of electric cars is a great video because barely anyone wants to talk about it and now days you’ll probably get “fact checked” and canceled for pointing out the obvious.
Oh, Youd be amazed at how much fake info on EVs there is. You actually have to dig to get any real data on them since almost every article or car video on them is skewd 100% in favor of them since nowdays, its frowned upon to say that gas powered cars are still the most viable option.
Yeah like how they love to conveniently act like digging for lithium and these other metals isn’t awful for the environment not to mention they need fossil fuels to run the fucking electric plants 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
People do tend to polarize about them to the point of believing very wrong facts. I think they're very good for some things but in my case, I don't actually do enough miles to justify one. If I had the budget, though, I think it'd be fun to convert something I otherwise like but never liked the engines for anyway. (I noticed the other night that even some anti-EV hot rod kids thought it would be really cool if I made like an electric Pacer or Pinto wagon, for instance. We happen to have solar here, so it wouldn't be *entirely* pointless even if the math wouldn't exactly compel it. :)
One of the absolute rediculous things I have heard as a mechanic.... A old man once told me the best way to break a engine in is to run it without water till the temp Guage is pegged then shock it with cold water to seal the gaskets 🤣
About time someone calls it out. Car culture is now clout culture which is frustrating. These newcomers need to go back to Instagram.
This is all it is. That's why everyone's cars are carbon copies of the others.
