Reminds me of when this one guy confused F&F with Gone in 60. He asked me and others if we had seen the first F&F. I was thinking, yeah, it wasnt that long ago. Im not that old. But we quickly figured out he was talking about the plot of the original Gone in 60 seconds. I must say though F&F really sure changed the car scene. It used to be that the only people who fixed up cars were really old men. Now the new generation is all about tuner cars. Its the modern hot rod. While I think indy spoilers and fart cannons should be a crime, I dont really mind the rest of that culture. So long as theyre not breaking any laws, and they get their body kits painted.
I don't mind the import scene either! Especially when it's one that's done right. In fact I've thought about what if I had an import and how I'd modify it.
My friends used to go down to the NOPI Nationals. In the hotel parking lot it was usually my Cobra, my our friends red '96 WS6, and our other friend's red '98 Z28 surrounded by a bunch of imports. LOL
I've noticed the ricer scene has been declining, but the number of well done imports are on the rise. Seems some have matured and started to ditch the insanely garish body kits and huge spoilers for something more refined.
Be it American Muscle or Foreign designs; Hot Rodding will never die!
