how about we start a thread with everyone putting in there input or "agreeing" to the fact that car enthusiasts can exist in a non-polarized world (namely, here in AF) where you don't have to either only love muscle or only love tuners. This is the classic 'street gang' mentality of "either you're with us or you're against us".

And let's send the link to the guys at scale auto so they can see that liking 'tuners' doesn't make you a baggy pants wearin, jay-z lovin, non creative good for nothing 'young punk'. I've seen some damn good models on this forum from all types of cars.

I also don't think Mr. 19th century Brooks is in tune enough with the world to realize that the love for 'his' generation's cars was once abhorred by the older generation before him (his grand dad probably said the same thing about him when all his buddies wanted thundering loud engines and racing stripes...punk kids). Trends and change are a part of life, most of these ignorant grumpy old men will be completely out of touch with everything (including their own bladder control) within 10 years. And it is a shame that people like Mr. Brooks don't embrace changes and pass things on to the next generation to help continue a diferent form of the same hobby instead of dismissing it as 'garbage'.
