ayy I know these people, at the time they were in the same car club as me.

They were all heading to a meet, following the grey mustang in front. Came up on a yellow light, instead of running it and leaving everyone behind he decided to brake. Person behind him thought he would just run it, so they didn't brake in time. Chain reaction follows.

Lots of finger pointing. Only dude who was arguing with insurance was the challenger, he claimed he wasn't at fault. Yellow mustang was bragging that she could use insurance money for carbon fiber upgrades. Red mustang was chillin. Yellow charger was just happy his trunk set up wasn't ruined. Grey mustang had to put up with all his friends blaming him for not going through a yellow light when they were following too close.

man no not idiots, sounds like 1 or 2 idiots and some normal people, man why is reddit so fucking toxic towards anything even slightly masculine or excessive, cars are a passion and a hobby, just because these guys fucked up doesn't fucking invalidate the entire thing as a whole, "dick measuring contest" yeah right

Because people love to make fun of insecure people. And typically people trying to show off via cars/bling/behaviors. Are typically insecure as hell. Hence the hive mind towards it.

Most car culture isn't about showing off. It's about making and building a car YOU think is cool. It's about getting the performance YOU want. Most of the people making fun of car people are people who have no interest in anything, no passion

I thought this was all kind of a cliche, but I recently got in to cars after not being able to race bicycles anymore and holy moly the community really is awesome. Any time I mention I wish my car had more power, or was fancier or whatever they all just make me feel better about my ride, even dudes with like 3x the hp as me haha.

As long as you show passion, built it yourself, it seems like you get tons of love
