Seems to the Japanese are taking cues from fellow IS300 owners states side.

Face It
With so much bullshit and ego in the so called automotive culture whether slammed, jdm, drift and euro (you name the micro sub culture of the automotive culture) many guys believe that taking photos of their ride or being praised by attending meets or knowing the most forum members is what will equate to that tingling feeling of being wanted is really what completes life. Wrong fuck face. The reality is people are to infatuated by car manufactures ie BMW, 2 Door Japanese Cars etc. that they think their car is what makes up themselves and their boring livesYou try explaining to people the logic of car meets. Yea you meet other guys with the same cars and just stand there for 1 hour doing nothing but talking about the same car you have. We all might as well attend a Nissan Altima meet or a Toyota Matrix meet. The point is these meets are unproductive and guys end up thinking their lives are their cars or the whole scene is "it."This isin't the old days when you had to know and the old gear heads that cared are long gone or quietly doing things. What a generation of bros.
The only way to show people that I have some class is by acquiring this vinyl sticker and tilting it 45 degrees to the left rear windshield.

Steel Wheels
Is it really worth it to spend so much time, money and effort to put steel wheels on one's car? I recently looked into how much and how heavy steel wheels are. Unless you're driving a truck in treacherous Alaskan winter your better off not buying them at all. Sure steelies are inexpensive however there weight is an incredible turn off. Aftermarket low offset steel wheels at 17 inches usually weight in at about 30-35lbs. Not only is this going to effect your mpg, but will increase stress in your bearings and joints. But who cares about that when it looks cool right? Is it worth getting high fives from guys that post 12 times a day in car forums?
