just a thought.   Posted Fri Apr 18, 03   10:59 AM     

remember how back in the day the import thread was BOOMING and the domestic thread was nearly dead. and it was all DOMESTIC VS IMPORT!

doesn't it seem that things have changed since then? Like there is less hate? Althought the import forum hardly even has posts involving imports (excluding the occational post buy Uglystick or neon)

i think most of that anger was toward the rice crowd that learned real quick to talk the talk or get the fuck out of dodge.

it certainly doesn't hurt to have people like me, neon, ls4-454 and others here who have a good background in both domestic and foreign.

then all the ricers had gone to racer760.com anyone been there lately?

most of the ricers i know want to have either civics or supras, both imports, funnily enough. i think some of them have been watching a little too much F&F....

Damnit Jason you forgot me, come on now

I've noticed a nice melding of import and domestic sides of the scene. There's respect on all sides...
And after riding in Peter's, (Kutsuju_Racing), Hatch this week while in AZ, it's time to get my hands on a 4th gen again... Honda powa!
