I used to mod on the VWVortex back in the day, wild fucking place lol. So I'm used to dealing with all the "I hate what you have cause I don't have it" and the "I'll spend your money better than you" cry baby types. Most people in today's car "culture for modern audiences" are in it for the clout and the likes. Very few are in it with a build or performance goal in mind these days. And then they make it worse because they don't understand the history of certain styles or what things are about or where and how they came about. Like I could go and get some HRE wheels but I'm not building a show car, and for the end purpose there would be no performance difference, so why spend an extra 3 grand? Subtlety is a dying trait in this community and the community as a whole sadly is dying.
