The car scene
-
Honestly, I think what makes the scene is just hanging out and getting to know eachother and having good bs sessions, Getting togather and cruising as a group once in awhile dosent hurt. Having a little more than a few hours notice about meeting somwhere might let more people find time to meet up, whether it is at k-mart, t-masters, or anywhere. As for people driving like asshats, that does hurt the guys that are minding themselves, Back home i saw it all the time, living in a small town, that was about the only thing to do was go up the the lot and hang out and bs, and then the drunk retards and kids in daddys pickups, and cars that were bought for them would come up there and raise hell, break bottles and throw trash in the parking lot, and ruin it for everyone. I know one person on here, and id really like to meet a few people on here, and bs a little, but i need a little more heads up on when meets are, having kids and a family makes it tough, but... with a little notice people may be able to make the time.

Thats different!!! Burnouts + Cruising = it all equals out and helps the scene
wrong... because that's what gets the cops on people asses. People fuck around and get caught, then insist that the cops are out to get them and quit going out.

it's still too early to suggest this coming friday, huh.
honestly i wouldn't mind meeting a few people for once; if there's some good bs'ing involved, that's even better. like i've said before, nothing i drive is show-worthy, but i'm all for hanging out for a while, getting some ideas on what to improve on..
getting some new people involved (yeah, including me) could only help the scene. so some of us noobs could show up for once.. it's a possiblity that some of the highly-modified stuff scares people into thinking their shit isn't good enough to show up. Mostly for me.. I hardly have the time to show up if I don't know ahead of time something's happening. I catch the "meet tonight" posts sometime around 10-11PM usually.

My car is not show worthy, nor can i afford to make it thatway. but... i dont see the scene as, "Who has the most money, or most mods". even mildly modded cars are cool to check out. Better yet like ive said before, the social aspect of it, just hanging out and bull shitting is what really makes it fun. Also if it is cool with the t-masters crew (owner :)) , that'd be a cool hangout, cause then when an asshat that thinks driving like and idiot, mouthing off, ect ect shows up, he can be told to get the f*** out, where as we cant do that in the k-mart parking lot.

It's funny that you say you drove like an ass hat and that people in this thread complain and complain and complain about that killing the scene and what not...but yet they would never say a damn thing about you killed the scene. So is it only certain people that if they drive like a dbag they are killing it? Whats the criteria exactly so i get this straight.i couldnt tell ya, all i know is that nobody really told me to "stop" driving like that.
i do remember a time earlier this summer when me and moses almost got t-boned at taco bell by a dumbass not watching where he was driving. and we all got on his ass, but i dont think i have ever said something to people driving like dbags. shit me a travis had cowboy hats on one night and were ripping through gears like crazy.
unless it was when we were trying to bs in a parking lot and an rx8 (not anthony) was doin cookies right by us.

what i got out of what you said was that people on here are saying that others (myself included) driving like morons kills the scene. but in fact we do it ourselves.

WTF people. The car scene here in Fargo is Dying. WTF is going on. Almost everytime we have a meet, its pretty pathetic. Why arent people participating in events. Autox events here are getting almost as many out of town participants as there are from fargo. thats pretty bad when there is only 15 participants. Are people just getting bored of the scene. Half of the poeple that participate on this forum never go to any of these events or are even seen out in public. What do you just hide behind your computer. But its not just fargo's scene dying, its other places as well. I am in minot right now for a wedding, and its more pathetic here. A few years ago it was pretty average here. Now its just shitty. Full of riced out cavaliers and shit. But Fargo, WTF!!!!!I didn't bother to read any of the posts in this thread besides the first, but seriously there has been a thread started saying this exact same shit EVERY SINGLE YEAR since the beginning of time.

i hope to not see an upswing in street racing in town
if you set something up, please do so on deserted roads with radios and spotters at both ends (and no ingress points in the middle). Otherwise you're looking to get caught and more importantly involve other motorists.
Cops and other drivers don't get upset about racing they don't see because it doesn't happen anywhere near anybody.

I think I just got too old. LOL
Actually, the racing in the countryside became unsafe and I didn't feel comfortable out there anymore. People use to patrol themselves and if someone did something stupid everyone would get after them. Last time I was out there were people standing in the middle of the road and there are cars/bikes returning from the runs going 80 mph through the people. No thanks.
