That’s odd, I don’t see tiktok wannabes in the list

1. Tiktok non car guys acting like they are smarter than car guys. 2. Car guys hating other car guys.

Soooooo, we aren’t gonna talk about all of the takeovers in the past year?! Widebodys, stance, drift missiles are fantastic! I love those things but we aren’t going to talk about the crap ton of takeovers.... Makes perfect sense to me🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Bro thought the beauty of this community was the freedom you have to express yourself. Don’t criticize other builds, just build what makes you look back when you get out of your car and smile. This community is getting so toxic that some people build their car for others. Build your car for yourself, dgaf about what others think about it

What about the fake depressed TikTok teen “car guys” who apparently think you have to be depressed to be a car guy

The drift missiles are meant to practice with a car you don’t mind getting destroyed so your nice drift car still looks good when in a compention

As a vet in the car scene I think the internet has ruined a lot. I remember being on car forms and going to different shows and seeing the popular things like tweed interior, audio and video, neon lights and hearing stuff like prodigy or BT I definitely miss early 2000s 😞

back in the 90s we would have all died to have even 1 brand of widebody kit for our cars. The fact that you can get them for a corolla now is insanely awesome. How does this channel have 900k subs?

1 Trends That is RUINING Car Culture 1. "People hating on other peoples taste in cars".

My man's talking about lambos as if normal people can afford them 😂😭

At 60yo I may be the oldest person to watch this video. Seems like it was aimed at much younger folks. I'm an original owner of an Evolution IX SE. It looks stock; it's not, nor is heavily altered, mechanically. I've owned the car for the past 17 years and have no plans to sell. The single most reliable car I've had and what a hoot to drive! It's so reliable, because it was never molested with useless mods. It's an easy motor to uncork, though there is a practical limit, and IF you did it right you had a fantastic car. If. My advice to younger people who are interested in driving, not decorating, is to buy a car that will respond to your input in a predictable manner. If you need a mod here or there to make yourself faster or allow for more confidence, do it as the need arises. Using my IX as an example, it's on the optional factory Bilstein suspension, not lowered (suspension geometry matters if you actually drive the thing) and we added a set of Whiteline's mild F/R anti-sway bars after a couple of years. The only suspension mod and it worked out great. Please don't miss my point: buy a car you want to drive and then learn how. I've been driving for 44 years and still learning. If you want to decorate, please feel free to ignore everything I'd said. Good luck.

I had a very modified 1G Eclipse Turbo “missile” as a daily driver when I was young…er. Had to start in second gear to avoid way too rapid acceleration in traffic - or at the drive through. The clutch friction point was minuscule. Suspension could hang on to turns like frickin’ glue, but you felt every Midwest asphalt bump like it was a ditch. It’s much easier to get a fast car designed to be used on a road instead of modifying an “ok” for track and tooling about to work and the grocery. Great video!

This guy doesn’t know as much as you would think

“I might start sounding like a hater in a second.” Boy 7 minutes ago with 23 seconds, you already sounded like a hater.

I may be old but i still like the mid 90s and early 2000s import looks. Those were fun.

The stance topic, I love both stance and lifted. Just depends on what I'm feeling, off road, or wanting to do track races (all in my games of course 😆)

Another reason to wrap is so you can change it up 2 or 3 times for the cost of paint, all while protecting factory paint, which is a huge plus.

"Widebodies are getting boring" WIDEBODY THE WIDEBODY

As a fellow content creator and a guy who has been building cars since 1996, I have two project cars. A 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT and a 1975 Ford Maverick. Every one of the things you mentioned... yeah... don't get me started. However, your list could have gone on longer. How about KZfaq creators telling people to turbo engines for more when the engine may not hold up to a turbo... or the stress a turbo puts on a daily driver and how it may not be right for the build. There is a ton more that we could talk about that is hurting the culture.

I saw a low-mile MkIV Supra fetch over $300,000 recently. It was slightly modified, maybe just rims and a new lip, but that was it (and it came with a 2JZ-GE). C5 Corvettes go for well under $20,000 now. There's definitely a point of "too much."

“I don’t like how other people spend their money “ the video

this video kinda makes me mad i’m ngl

I can accept some of these on the list but widebody and wraps are good imo. I mean pandem, rocket bunny, liberty walk are common but not everyone does it so its good to see one.

3:00 raise the suspension 1/2" or so and the first one looks great. wouldn't be my first choice of wheels for that car, but to each their own. Yes the second one looks like a ton of fun, but it would'nt be my daily and I don't have that kind of play money.

I thought when I click this videos he was gonna talk about ricers, big rims, gold chrome wraps, etc. But Widebody??? Stance, missile cars those are dope AF. Why would you complain about that, I think what you meant by "car culture" is your personal taste

My dude don't understand why people get wraps instead of paint its called being broke and not wanting a drippy paint job from macco

i disagree with a lot of these. I'm pretty new to the car community and i love it. kinda dippin my toes in, so dont take my opinion heavily but i think these arent the main issues the community has. you did make some fair points tho👍🏾

I feel like he's the type of person that only listens to one genre of music and says all other music isn't real music

I just hope the suv and crossover trend is gone before I die

1: street car takeovers Yeah I think that’s about it

What u guys think, 1700 to wrap, or 2500 in a maaco? i've a black 350z 05' anniversary.... Thinking about Nardo Grey,

In all my racing games I play I have a 3000 hp Dodge Viper fully made for grip and speed. It dose have some red flames but apart from that it’s just made for speed, grip and intimidation

there's no way this guy actually talks like this

miatas are known for driving and handling amazingly lol

In Sweden, A Volvo 740 and 940 can cost more than a 3rd gen V70 (aka "Fas 2"). The cheapest V70 you can get is probably the 2nd gen V70 (V70N, aka "Nicklas"). At least if you want one in good condition. It also depends on what year model it is. A base model 2013-2016 V70II can set you back a good 150 000 to 200 000SEK (equivalent to roughly 12-16k USD). If you want a more powerful engine or a more luxurious interior, you might have to pay about 10k more. A V70N, in good condition can cost between 15 000 and 150 000SEK, depending on if it's an 01-04 or an 05-07. 05-07 is the facelift version and they tend to go for a higher price. They come with painted plastic lists on the corners and on the doors, as well as clear glass headlights. Sun roof? Turbo? If so, which engine is it? Summum or Momentum package? Leather, half leather or plush seats? Electric or manual adjustment seats? Black or baige interior? Has it been recently inspected and is it taxed? Has it ever been in an accident? I bought a newly inspected, silver, black leather interior, 2001 V70 2.4T (200hp) imported from the US. Set me back 20 000SEK (about 1800USD, or so)

I recently bought my first car it is a 2021 Toyota Camry and I was wondering if it’s reliable in the long run

How is it ruining car culture if they are part of the culture and love what they’re doing?

3:58 tbh that mustang was beautiful af

I like how I am almost totally unaware of these overdone trends because I am simply not on TikTok

It's sooooooo annoying trying to find my first car that I want to be manual, rwd, decent looking, and somewhat jdm like the 240 but I still have 1-2 years until I can drive and also like $2500 australian dollars near me it's sooooooo hard too find something like that its like finding a needle in a haystack

Yeah so basically he hates stance cars,widebodys,wraps,drift cars, new supercars and is making people hate Mustangs even more....nice

Wow imagine how much of a fun sponge you'd be at a meet.

Just do what makes you happy individuality is the key...

we may talk trash about stance cars but have you seen the ppl that drive them half the time they got a huge smile

Brad: "Don't leave car meets showing off with cold tires and engine" translation: "do a burn out in the lot before taking it into the streets, you amateur"

Lol why can’t we just like something and do it? 😂this dudes a clown

I have always hated stancing and wide bodies though it depends because sometimes theres just that one that looks amazing but most of them are just too stanced or too wide

8:55 I don't care what you do to a 720, love the car but the fact that 3 years ago someone put a 3rd turbo in a 12c is just dope

I would choose the offroad Porsche because roads in my country are shitty af.

I mean, widebodys are only bad in cars that don't need widebodys

I can never forget the look on people's faces when they see my Saab. It's either they are genuinely curious or get nostalgia about it lol

I'm so glad you mentioned the negatively cambered/stanced cars. Apparently they think form > function. Someone had to tell them it's foolish.

I don’t really like stance cars, I like functional mods

I kinda disagreed with most of these... I absolutely adore McLaren, and I personally think that the most clout surrounded and over-hyped brand would be Lamborghini. Yes, widebodies do get a little repetitive, but they still look better than stock. And as for values, yeah that happens, especially with good JDM cars

I mostly just hate that it’s difficult to find a place to have a meet, then people rev their or do burnouts and get everyone kicked out permanently.

“We respect all builds” immediately contradicts himself. This video makes one good point with the hype tax, better things to bring up would be the “sad bois” and takeovers instead of hrrr drrr vinyl wrap bad.

You didnt list the 2 most important things: takeovers, sad boy tik tok crap

I dont see how any of these trends are ruining car culture, ppl like what they like. Also the cars appreciating in value is how the market works

what can i say, you are totally right in what you say! I'am a 58 years old german car enthusiast. You know we had very good highways without tempolimit and we have all scenes of crazy people loving to tune their cars. I was also such a guy. With 19 years old i had a GOLF I GTI 1,6. The ultimate Sportscar, i said now. 900kg and 110 HP , 7x15 ATS with TOYO tires Group N exhaust, and a BILSTEIN Nürburgring undercarriage. To look even better we Try to get the front more down and lay a sack of cement up on each dome over night. No servo stering, no aircondition, no electric windows, no sunroof, no more weight! Mine was simply white and has the rear of an Ford Escort RS. Looking backwards it was the car that makes me the most fun of all!!! And i had different really good cars afterwards. BMW 323i HARTGE, GOLF 16V Custom 200HP, MB 2,3-16 190E, AUDI V8, VOLVO T5R, PORSCHE 911 Carrera 3,2 G-Modell. All i wanna say is, if you are in love with a car, and it is your car, than nobody else needs to say "what a car!" !!! You love it. Now iam looking for a TOYOTA Celica 2,0-16 GT. A dream of my youth... Cheers from Germany go on!

Some people gotta stop "oh my cars faster, my car looks better" why cant yall just appreciate a mans build and taste

The bosuzoku car trend has been around since late 40s, early 50s and was originally started by retired kamakazi pilots after the end of WW2.

You're such a hypocrite, honestly, You start with how wraps are "ruining" car culture yet you have a wrapped Porche, I don't see how wrapping a car ruins the culture when it can be part of the culture and good for people who can't afford paint. It's easy to find shops that wrap well and it's not too expensive. Painting is nice and all, but so is wrapping a car; wraps if done right can actually protect the paint from being scratched, isn't as much money, and sure they might be a pain to remove or if it tears in one spot you might have to remove the whole thing, but that's what happens when you pay less. Wrapping isn't ruining the car culture, infact if anything it's improving the culture by allowing more creativity and cheaper way(s) to improve the look of your car while expressing yourself. Stancing cars isn't ruining the culture either, like you mentioned you'd prefer a lifted Porche over a stanced one while others may have a swapped opinion. Yes, stancing has become popular in the recent years, but it is in no way ruining the culture and community. Not everyone would want a lifted Porche, not everyone wants a stanced Porche, that's how it is. A lot of the time stancing is done to improve the driving, for example cambering the front tires on a drift vehicle/missile helps improve grip, as when turning the wheels dependent on the angle the wheel will gain positive camber, therefore adding negative camber to a certain degree helps improve grip and all around drivability. Widebodying a vehicle isn't ruining the community or the culture, just like stancing, these can all be counted as sub-cultures as widebodies may be used for multiple reasons, whether it be for looks or to help with aerodynamics. None of these ruin the culture in the slightest. Just like widebodies, stancing, wrapping, and more, these add to the community creating jobs for enthusiasts and allow you to further express yourself with your car and be creative. Sure there aren't too many big widebody manufacturers, but there are plenty that make fully custom widebody kits. They're just more expensive so you don't see them as much. As for hyped up prices, you're honestly making yourself look absolutely stupid here, it's called supply and demand. Sure the cars are older but that doesn't mean the price is going to be lowered due to the age. Like the example you gave of the Supra. For reasons such as The Fast and Furious movie(s) this vehicle has had a lot more demand. Unfortunately they do not make the Mk. 4 Supra anymore as they've moved on to the Mk. 5 which means there's less supply. What happens when there's less supply and more demand? Prices go through the roof. That's basic knowledge even an 8 yr old would have. As for the prices being all over the place, again, that's how it works. A vehicle may drive like a $10,000 car but cost $50,000 for supply and demand reasoning. A vehicle may drive like a $50,000 car but cost $10,000 because there's more supple and less demand. As for missles, you don't exactly explain how these are "ruining" the culture so I'm not going to talk about it too much. Yes, you did mention how some people take them on the streets when they're meant for tracks, but that could be for reasons you don't even know. They could be transporting the car, bringing it to a meet, just trying to drive it around, show it off, have some fun, whatever the case may be. I don't understand how these in any means would ruin the culture ame with the rest. The title for this next one is "KZfaqrs" but you mention almost nothing about them. This just makes you more hypocritical as you are a car youtuber yourself. Though you do mention that you see so many Lambo's but nothing else. This is just peoples taste and if you can't tell, Lamborghinis are a popular Supercar across the world. You mention that you want to see more Supercar variety then start to complain about McLarens which aren't even Supercars. Yes they're super popular across the car side of youtube and the youtube platform in general, but again, this is peoples taste. It's so stupid to the point I'd call you a toddler as you mention that you can pick up a Murcielago for the price of a Huracan. You are mistaken. A 2021 Huracan EVO goes for around 208,000 whereas a Murcielago SV runs for 354,000. Those don't look close to me... I'm not even going to start on talking about how you compared a Huracan to an R8. McLarens are classified as Hypercars btw. You mention how the 650s looks Identical to the 570s, but say the 650s looks better. Want to run that by me again? At this point just change the name of the video to "8 Trends I personally don't care for" the way you word this whole video you do nothing but go on about how certain things are hurting your feelings. I mean come on. All of these are preferences people have with their own cars. They aren't ruining the culture but making it even more diverse. Who hurt you? Sure plastidipping isn't always the best option, but instead of hating on plastidip how about you make a video explaining why plastidip can be harmful for your wallet and your car at certain times. Actually educate people if you want to run a channel about cars and the community, don't hate on peoples preferences. Sure, showing off can be dangerous (especially stang drivers, we see you with those tally marks on your window) but it isn't ruining the culture. It may be annoying when that happens and you're either the driver or you and or your car get hit. But at the end of the day it's all about having fun and sometimes that means spinning out and hitting a tree. Lesson learned. Besides, we all know there would be no such thing as those popular "HILARIOUS Car FAILS!!!" videos without our beloved Mustang drivers.

I really appreciate the approach you took when making this video. Obviously a lot of these trends are cool, but just overused... or just pointless

The universal way of holding up 8 on your hands is fingers only. The 5 and 3 combo caught me off guard

I love how everyone brings up hella flush when it comes to stancing a car🤣

4:18 the first body kit appears to be fit with the lines of the car while the second one has just universal fender flares in the rear. Seems unique to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

What ruined for me is the high gas prices, and the skyrocket prices for used cars.

My least favorite trends IMHO are: 1) Turbo everything. Don't get me wrong turbos are great, they're just not the end all be all. 2) Big wheels & skinny tires. I miss the days of 15-16" wheels that looked good and still gave you enough side wall to give you a good ride as well.

Personally I like the wide bodies. Maybe I haven't seen them enough but I think they're unique

Wrap: $5,000 Paint: $10,000 to $15,000

And the other problem with wraps and custom painting is that and especially with older cars, some people like the car to have it's original paint code.

Worked in car kit company where they did custom paint jobs in 80's painful to watch em work out all flaws painting and repainting,but they charged up to $30,000 way back then, can't imagine what it would cost today!

I don't care what anyone says, the pandem C8 Vette looks incredible

What was wrong with TheStradman's Supra?

What ppl are now calling "stance" was 100% lifted from the Japanese VIP scene 20+ years ago. We were hitting that perfect tsurachi back in the early 2000's

“Don’t drive faster than Your angels could fly” that was funny😂

Sounds like a boomer's take on car cultures. I lost all hope when the word interweb pops out. Here is the thing. He had about half of them right, like the JDM hype and the over the top showoffs. But many of the other things? People spend the money they want it to. If they want to "ruin" their car with a stance, what harm will that do to you? These movements are not ruining the car culture, but the gate keepers saying what is cool and what are not, are.

I see he doesn't know what "hellaflush" means, so please be quiet.

So true about the price hikes.. I managed to get a 2zz celica with 6 speed manual for only 5 k...so happy with it. Other than android head unit, lowered and rims its factory as and mint condition

The biggest thing I never hear people complain about is, constantly hitting the limiter or 2 stepping it doesn't sound good.

Me: I love all car culture Also me: *clicks this video ready to be offended*

"Third gen Mazdaspeed Miata" What?

I'm pretty sure the main reason people are wrapping instead of painting these days, is because wraps are more cost efficient. And given the fact we are in a post covid economy, many people just don't have the money for a paint job.

I'm gonna be brutally honest, I love the content you guys produce and its very informative. However, the format of this video just made it sound like old trends hating on new trends. It just people who cant adapt to new trends and new generation tastes. Not trying to talk smack but the video just sounded really old head like.

3:10 im sure about 90% of ppl picked the first car

respect each others taste

Aye u can't lie some cars look CLEAN with widebody kits and some trucks are two....if they're done right

Checked me tyre pressure the other day and my rear left was at 37psi when I normally run it at 28 :P

this just sounds more like this guy is unhappy with his own life... Stancing ok.. but everything else is debatable.

Things That Are Ruining Car Culture 1. Non car guys acting like car guys 2. Old people or people who go to car meets and try to get inside of your car, and act like this is a car dealership 3. People who call your alternator a turbo 4. Car guys hating on other peoples cars 5. People who take pictures of your car and pretend it’s theirs 6. Kids who only talk about skylines and Supras. (Like bruh there other good jdm cars too). 7. This guy

Plastidipping and wrapping are easy changeble so score for them and you can montage yet spliters, paint it hydrophobic car and more so your actual carwill be safer Wrapping alone goves you a protection and field to changing mind or resale because car is in resaleble color same if you preffer paint vinyl on car insteed of stickering...reallyyour choice:D

I love the stock height or maybe a bit lower but I can’t stand the stance

Normal tuner: i paid for the whole speedo so imma use the whole speedo Stance tuner: i paid for the whole wheel but imma use a few millimiteres because why not

Painting is expensive as hell especially when you want a custom color. Wraps are much cheaper, but that depends on how much you spend. Plus if I want a new color I have to spend more money and more time for it to be done

I own a 350z. Tires fit, have a modified exhaust that is catback, no wing, it has a pair of air intakes, im saving for a supercharger. Ill get a carbon fiber hood and possibly fenders but will have them paint matched. Nothing crazy, no wide body kits. It will have bigger brakes and maybe lowered a little. No stancing, no huge front splitter, etc. I will keep everything looking stock. Might have one of the only ones left.

Plz make a video about things to look out when doing a ls swap Specially for e36

Nothing “ruins” the car culture. Ur allowed to modify ur car however u want. I’ll never understand how other ppls cars can bother ppl so much

It annoys me that some people can get away with overpricing cars

I just miss the old days. I remember heading down to my step brothers paint shop as a kid, seeing tuners with underglow, tribal livery’s. Muscle cars with flames and blowers. Nowadays it’s just a bunch of “clean” cars. The way I see things, these new “clean” cars are just boring af.

brad: ima take you to 8 trends me looking at title : are you sure ? Edit: this comment didnt age well
