Just about every car I’ve had has had some sort of toxic subculture attached to it.

Old muscle cars? “Fuckin pussies driving god damn jap cars! AMERICAN MUSCLE! *beats chest*”

Domestic Trucks? “Fuckin pussies driving god damn jap cars! DIESEL! *spews soot everywhere*”

Subarus? “Yeah bro I was doing a sick drift while vaping at about 120 but the AWD just hooked up and pulled me through bro! You got any monster bro? *vapes conspicuously*”

BMWs? “I leased a base model 328i which means I’M BETTER THAN YOU NOW GET ME A FUCKING MANAGER! *xanax’s*”

Audi? “I drive a mid-tier sport sedan but act like I’m the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. *fails to signal*”

Tacoma? “I challenge everyone that talks to me to a fight because that’s the only skill I’ve aquired in my 28 years on this earth. Also my truck is custom with the same mods as everyone else. *spits tobacco*”

Focus ST gets a pass because I basically gave up on owner’s groups after the S4. I’ve literally never met another.

BRZ: Basically the subaru bro except in a slower car. Still tries to race everyone.

It’s simpler than that.

The tea drinking, masochism, and snobbery are really all out of hand.

BRZ:

Bro, which of these $800 coilover sets, that all come out of the same Taiwanese factory, is going to be best for spirited driving and maybe some drifting? I wanna get #mmoooaarrrrlooowww too! #stancenation *crashes and part out*

Bro, which should I get in 18x10" XXRs, Rotas, or Varrstoen? I need 10" wide bcuz I’m gonna turbo and Rocket Bunny soon! Also, can you recommend a cheap 205/35 tire to go with them? *crashes and part out*


Bro, look at that bent Volk wheel! See, real wheels break too! I’m not gonna waste my money on anything other than reps! They’re just as good. *crashes and part out*



I could keep going too... The Toyobaru scene often has me questioning if I want to get a different car, just to escape it. lol

I challenge you to find a toxic Smart subculture. No really, I want to know that such a thing exists because it would be AMAZING.

I have met multiple people who just would not shut up about how their smarts are so much better a choice than the massive, lumbering, planet killing cars everyone else buys. There are people out there who think smarts are cool. Is that toxic enough for you?

That’s part of the reason I’m interested in the Subaru SVX. It’s one of very few fast Japanese cars to not come with that F&F boy racer image.

I don’t know. That’s just basic eco snobbery. I was hoping for, like, an underground bum fight subculture or something.

Do what I did. Just ignore the “scene.” Oppo is all you need.

Don’t forget VW:

“I’m gonna buy a $35,000 high performance hatchback, and drop it on an insanely expensive airbag suspension (or a cheap suspension that always leaks) with a compressor that takes up half of the space behind the rear seats, and sit it on massive, heavy, ugly, insanely expensive wheels wrapped in rubber that’s so narrow the rim of the wheels risks getting destroyed every time I park near a curb! And then I’m gonna drop $15k on engine mods, euro-spec recaro buckets, huge brakes and the best part is I’m only gonna drive it to veedub shows and meets! Because stance lyfe, yo!”

The way people talk about their smarts makes me think that the opposite of fighting is going on.

As for Facebook, I stick mainly to the 86 Track Cars group and the regional group I’m an admin on.

You forgot “and vigorously insist my car is better than all the others”

Well, that’s pretty common but I feel like you get it more strongly from the VW crowd. Inferiority complex I guess.

Sounds like you need to get yourself a car with no toxic subculture... like a Toyota Echo...

At least they are spending $800 on coilovers. In the Scion groups there’s this utterly terribly company called Raceland (and their twin company Rokkor) that makes $300 coilovers. They’re terrible and yet people flock to them because cheapass.

Oh, I’m well aware. haha I own an FR-S. It’s a shame how many people throw crap suspension on their cars. The worst thing, is that most of those $800 coilovers are pretty much the same product as the $300 ones.

Eh, my F&F2s in my tC1 are way better than another guy’s Racelands in his tC1.

Most of the $800+ ones have dampening control where as the Raceland/Rokkors are only height adjustable.
