Car Enthusiast vs Hoon

[Ralli]

So I am just wondering if anyone else out there is annoyed at these titles. If you are young and under the age of I dont know say 25 / 26 or even 30 you are considered a HOON
if you have a nice done up car. If you are older than this, and you have a nice done up car you are considered a CAR ENTHUSIAST
I believe this is a crock. I mean seriously. All the people that I know that have done things to there cars, are proud of the work they have done. They take care of their cars, and most of the things done (ie suspension, brakes, etc) DO make the car safer. Okay so they go "crusing" and some of the younger guys do silly things like burnouts and things, but to me honest most of my friends (who are around the age of 20-25) dont do burnouts. Yeh they go crusing and on occasions race their cars, but they take pride in their cars. They do modifications to the car, but most are to make it safer (and faster too I guess).
What is YOUR opinion on all this.............and should we ALL be generalised and penalised into one catergory of a HOON, just becuase the minority out there act like idiots..

[Fully_Sick]

yeah you bring up a good point,

its just that younger people are ore likely to muck about with their cars because
1) there young
2)unless your a pussy, you have done a burnout, because your experimenting with a vehicle for the first time
3) younger people make great scapegoats

[Toksin]

So not doing burnouts makes you a pussy? Please

[Fully_Sick]

^ you mean to tell me you have never under any circumstances done a burnout?

c'mon mate

p.s: i didnt mean it that your a pussy if you dont do burnouts everywhere, I meant if you have NEVER done one ever..

[Toksin]

Nope, never under any circumstances done a burnout. I haven't raced yet, so I haven't had to warm my tyres, and I see no point whatsoever in doing them on the street.

as for the whole "hoon" thing...who gives a fuck? Do you really care about the opinion of some wanker with nothing better to do than bitch about people with done-up cars?

[RSX-S777]

I have never heard the term HOON in my life...so I suppose I can't take offense at being called one.

P.S. When you start feeling as if your penis doesn't quite measure up, do a burnout. Either that or buy a lift kit and Flowmasters for your Dodge Ram...

I think if you sit there and analyze it and make non-existant names labelling other people, you're a geeky fag, but that's just my opinion.

[ciccmga]

^ I agree.

Yes I do care. and you know why. Because their are ALOT of WANKERS out there who bitch about HOONS, and in doing so, we get labelled so. I am NOT A HOON. I love cars, I love Modified cars, but I dont do burnouts, I dont race unneccesarily, I dont drive fast. 99.9% of the time I have my 3 year old in the car, so I wouldnt dare do these things, YET I still get labelled a hoon, just because I drive a modified car. Where is the fairness in that????

Who cares. You can call me ricer all you want; i'll still leave you eating my dust.

Even though I agree with you, your sig isn't really helping your case

Obviously you've never heard the term 'male speed limit'. Whatever the sign says, plus 10%, plus 5km/h.
Eg. 60 + 10% = 66km/h +5km/h = 71km/h (male speed limit).

Reading your profile, you don't live in the US. Here guys like to show off to their friends by doing burnouts. It's a very common thing in the US.
