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

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

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

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

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

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!

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 😞

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

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

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 😆)

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.

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

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

Enjoyed this, subscribed!

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?

"Widebodies are getting boring" WIDEBODY THE WIDEBODY

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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."

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

this video kinda makes me mad i’m ngl

You are great at what you do. I have never seen a bad video. Very First Class

Great video!

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

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"

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

there's no way this guy actually talks like this

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

miatas are known for driving and handling amazingly lol

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.

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

Great video, well stated.

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

3:58 tbh that mustang was beautiful af

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

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 really like stance cars, I like functional mods

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

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 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

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

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 love the look of wide body kits especially on the gr supra

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

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

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

Ideal Media, you So killed this. One year after & these trends got even Worse, smh.

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!

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

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.

brad foreshadowed the r8 in this video, love it

One of those should be all VQs being the new Honda, i can hear them marching bands at 3 in the frickin morning.

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

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

Lots of good advice and, Yes! Buy for yourself XD

0:10 I saw a perfectly good Camaro a few days ago. Except it had spinner wheels that were 2 times the size they were supposed to be.

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

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

great video

seriously... gta on a watch !!!! i never even imagined i would see that, can't wait for the video

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.

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

4:18 uhh the first one has exposed rivets and a more extreme curve to it. second one looks more conservative, and smoother.

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

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

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

Damn that got me thinking like 4 months ago their was a blue s2000 for sale going for 2,000

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

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

I'm glad it's not just me talking about giving it some beans!

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👍🏾

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

"Third gen Mazdaspeed Miata" What?

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.

This guy: “Cars are ruining car culture”

respect each others taste

I feel like he was throwing shots at dde😂

Man, you said driving on a flat tire made me feel 2020 British Grand Prix vibes

I got a 79 Z28 definitley no monitoring systems or safety systems anywhere lol. Thing was a missile from factory

I don’t see how stancing my car,wrapping it and putting a wide body is RUINING car culture

What was wrong with TheStradman's Supra?

Theres also the pavement princess jeeps The ones that are super built (well or not) but never touch dirt

currently looking at a 2007 SRX4 V8 for 3500 to add a wide body kit & supercharger to :)
