Why is the car world typically such a hostile one? For every nice remark in the tuning communities, it seems theres at least 4 nasty ones. Its like theres no reasonable, fact based discussion.
Recent example:
>jay lenos garage
>guy has a 135i v8 swap built
>jay is thoroughly impressed
>scroll to comments
>haha fucking rich boy
>couldnt even build it himself what a fag
Its like the majority of our world is insanely insecure and jealous of everyone.
Where does this stem from?
No clue but everyone seems to hate everything but their own personal car
>135i v8 swap build
What the fuck am I reading. Why the fuck would they ruin a 135i with a v8 swap
keep telling your self that a 4.6 stroker S65 is inferior to an inline 6 TT
>Where does this stem from?
This cannot be answered on Veeky Forums or likely anywhere.
Agreed, what is the point unless its running over 800whp, the 6 pot n55/4 engines are easily tuned to 500+
Dude got made fun of because that's a retarded swap. You don't swap a perfectly good well balanced car like that which already is a perfect platform for modding. You can swap emaciated sports cars if you want, not perfectly good 135is. Man, that's easily the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life
>why is the car world typically such a hostile one
Tribalism and jealously.
/thread
high revving NA motor is apparently still a poor choice for a track car i'm still not understanding your logic
>Alphonse makes his first legitimately good post
Alphonse only makes good posts
You sound like the type of guy that would LS swap a rx-7
>dude with a blank cheque who wishes to turn a 1 series into a 'factory spec' inspired track car is an idiot because N54s are gods gift to earth
Kill yourself or get a car and stop shitposting alphie.
>factory spec
>v8
nice strawman but to take your bait; I posted why a high revving car is good for track use and you proceed to suggest I would wish to replace the master revver with a push rod motor
>logic
Pretty much. Should have just bought a 1M and actually made a good investment.
Lol true

stop stealing my fucking memes

Because everything about cars and car culture has its roots in competition and one upsmanship.
>Why is the car world typically such a hostile one?
All hobbies are hostile to outsiders and new people
better than diluting the culture and killing it just like what happened with everything else.
Good question, OP. I mean like, I'm just tryna drive.
it's the bus riders and other underaged faggots
Sounds silly, but if you've browsed Veeky Forums for any length of time you'll probably agree with this.
If you want to meet nice car people you have to hand out with the guys with old modded shitboxes/beaters.
Hanging with the vaping audi/g35/evo crew will get you the exact reactions that you're talking about.
Occasionally you'll run into that fool that thinks his supercharged saturn ion is the hottest shit since sliced bread.
If I had to guess, it would be because cars are very expensive things, so many owners need to constantly justify their ownership of it and defend their decision of purchasing whatever model car. Then there's just plain old fanboyism. And then people like to show off what they know, when they don't know shit because they want to look cool.
I see it a lot in the gun world. Plenty of fanboyism because nobody wants to admit that another gun might be better than theirs, or that they made a bad choice when they purchased theirs. And as the price goes up, this attitude tends to get a little worse. A guy who bought a $900 gun gets defensive when you point out that he got suckered by a brand name and plenty of $500 guns have better track records. And you get a lot of retards spouting what they think they know in the gun world too. But I think people do that to seem badass because they know about weaponry, maybe that kind of thinking crosses over to cars.
It is an inferiority complex from what I can gather. You see it all the time with these "built not bought" faggots, if someone works an office job with a decent wage and wants something interesting done to his car then who cares if he pays someone else to do it?
Another thing that pisses me off is the "competition" between different communities, who cars if someone likes American muscle cars and someone else likes Japanese turbo stuff. Surely the fact they are interested in cars at all is enough?
Cars are BIG-time investment, that take a lot of life sacrifice and planning to attain. Then, you build a relationship with your vehicle, attend to it and DEPEND on it for many years.
Its natural human instinct to defend what is yours, or what you believe should be yours.

I like being the underdog with a crap box LS granny spec commonwhore Holden sleeper it's hilarious to see everyone else on the road get pissed and race me because I have a old car.
Only people that are nice are fellow Holden owners which is still weird to me coming from owning ford and Toyota before that.
Back to the inferiority complex I absolutely agree.
Most dunnydoor owners are down on their luck bogans like me who can still barely afford a car and it makes saving up for a big set of mods and finally getting them installed so much more exciting.
Shame car culture here is dying and morphing but that happens when you abruptly shutter a entire country's engineering sector and manufacturing in under a decade it's just gone back to small boutique shops
MUUUUUUY CALAIIIIIISSS
Sauce on that S2K pls
Pepole who are into cars tend to be poor.
Poor people tend to be angry and mad a lot.
Thus car people tend to be assholes.
Just show up at any car meet and try to talk to people.
Jellyness and people looking for stuff to get triggered by.
Maybe he bought a cheap chassis with a fubar engine.
>fastback hardtop
HNNNNNNNG
Looks ugly and u lose the boot
Money.
Nobody wants be told that they sunk their savings into a piece of shit.
I have 3X over so what I'm used to it it's tall poppy syndrome someone will always have a better or worse built than you
the internet car world is totally different from the real car enthusiast world.
people who go to show and shines and so on generally have respect for each others cars regardless if they like or don't like the type of car or the way someone modded it.
get off the web from time to time
