in a time where the government is cracking down on everything to do with the automobile, and the general public regards us ALL as streetracers even though its the minority that break the law, all car enthousiasts should be joining together to support the hobby they all love.

sure if you want to take my quote out of context, or validate your point? did i do somthing or are you just making a generalization?

i gotta agree with you cbr. every car enthusiast should try and be on the same page. granted the **** talking against other makes is a part of the car scene just as it is in sports and such. but unlike sports like you said we have the government against us every corner. i agree 100% that every group has their pricks. but the honda crowd takes the cake. they're also a huge reason for the government lashing we're getting.

[Mike]

the reason it seems that the honda crowd is because honda built SO many cars and sold them at low prices, and the fact that parents buy them for their kids as economy starter cars but mods and motorswaps are as easy as playing with legos, there is so many of them that no matter what terrible story you hear about street racing, or cars with idiot drivers, there is usually a honda involved.

people have to remember that street racing has been around for as long as streets have been around. the older members here will be able to tell stories of single digit AMERICAN cars being trailered to the back streets all around the area and raced. in those days it took money to build a competitive car, and more money to get a race. so the drivers were more experienced and the races were more secretive.
going back to the cheaper imported cars, you have younger, less experienced drivers out in these cars, and then you add the movies such as the fast and the furious series and it brings the street racing scene from a backroad high stakes secret to a frontpage mainstream problem. now whenever a "modified" car is involved in an accident, the general public automaticly assumes that the person driving it was racing, or showing off in some other illegal way. unfortunatly this has spread to anyone driving any kind of sport compact or real sports car that isnt in a midlife crisis.

you can compare this directly to the gang problem we face.....if two gang members have a shootout and kill each other, it dosent make the news, but if one of them hits a bystander, its front page news and a public outrage. either way the outcome is the loss of a life, but one sells newspapers and the other dosent.

Yep.

Can somebody tell me why they think this ad was pulled?



The other thing I'd like to mention is that nobody ever remembers the "nice guys" with a different type of car. Like a guy with import that tells you you have a nice Camaro. People just remember the dicks that say that their import can smoke it in the 1320 without even comparing the two cars.

Can't read the fine print at the bottom of the page.

Isn't Woodward Ave the road where the Mustang rally takes place each year? So a Pontiac is heading away from it...

I give up.

The ad was pulled for its obvious street racing reference.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward_Avenue

The Woodward Dream Cruise takes place on Woodward Avenue between Pontiac and Ferndale in Oakland County during the middle of summer. The annual event draws thousands of classic car owners and admirers from all over the United States and the world to the Metro Detroit area to celebrate Detroit's automotive history. The event evokes nostalgia of the 1950s and '60s, when it was common for young drivers to "cruise" with their cars on Woodward Avenue.

AKA - It was one of the main sites for street racing in Detroit in the heyday of the musclecar years. I think there was a similar ad for the 04-06 GTO as the one posted above.

Ah ok, so my memory is shot. I at least remembered there was a rally / cruise there.

i love how i started this as a joke and it turned into this . all i wanted to do is make fun of one of my friends that loves his cars. i kno that the imports hav balls to go agaist most american cars but. when they got a stock 93 ex and got autozone "upgrades" (stickes,lights,EAraceing seats, and the lovly neons all over the cars inside and out, painted calipers and drums) thats wut i get mad cuz they think that they can take every car in the street. and dont get me wrong not just imports ricer there cars .
