The reasoning at the bottom of the quote is what makes me cringe… Why would I pay $100 for a Snap-On wrench when I can pay $10 for one at Canadian Tire? There is absolutely no difference in quality. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not posting this because I want to tell people how to spend their money or what to get for their car… What really makes me cringe is the stuff that you read on forums. You see it all these days and there’s just no way of avoiding seeing the latest trend. I browse the forums, I visit blogs, I see a ton of social media content of cars that I know to cars halfway around the world. You must be asking – what is he going on about now? I guess it’s sort of my way of ranting. Everyone else falls in-between these two groups – legit, fake, they don’t really care. For others, (like the aforementioned keyboard warriors and haterade drinkers) it’s a matter of standing up for authentic parts only and ensuring that everyone who doesn’t have legitimate parts gets reprimanded. What I mean by this is that for some people (like myself), they just don’t care what goes on around them anymore unless it’s something unique or nicely put together. I just think that when you’ve been immersed in the automotive culture for a period of time, you just naturally become somewhat jaded or calloused to what goes on in this pool. I don’t dip my cup in the haterade punch bowl, and I am far from a keyboard warrior on forums trying to advocate what a real build is. I saw the difference and I would never go back.įirst of all, I’m no veteran to this scene – I am just an independent player in this sea of automotive enthusiasts – and just like many others, I just want to see cool as shit cars and good quality builds. It was when I inquired with a local shop that he kindly (and I truly mean that he was nice about it) talked me out of it and pushed me into my first set of WORK Emotion XT7’s. When you’re on a budget for wheels – you’ll eventually come across Rota. I knew nothing about real and fake, I just knew I had a budget. It just hits home for me – the first time I was ever in the market for car parts was for wheels for my Civic. Maybe I’ve been reading too much on and his strict adherence to quality parts… But I can’t help but nod my head for every post I read of his. Does this kind of stuff leave a bitter taste in anyone’s mouth anymore?
