Is modders becoming stupid?

[dori_86]

I must get 1 thing off my chest first..... i was in a "RICE" store today
--is was looking for some bumper paint ok??

and a young guy asked if they had a drift button?

and the guy said "hmm think so should be overthere"

the young guy returns saying "no, and asks where u can get on because he is sick of pulling up the handbrake to increase and correct his angle while his drifting by popping the clutch"

**sounded pretty much he was reading out of a book**

the guy "says i dont know" i dont even think he knew what he was talking about

all the while ive been listening in (while also standing at the counter)

i then suggest to the young guy to try a one of the PERFORMANCE /DRIFT stores in SA and he has a blank look on his face? (as in PERFORMANCE??)

i then tell him of a place near by that would definately have one and how much they would cost roughly but then explained about how u could do it on the cheap etc

i then ask hinm what car he has and he replies SILVIA and im like... ok then

LATER ON..

im in another less RICE more PERFORMANCE store wanting some bumper paint but they havnt got what i want left

so as im leaving,

and this guy walks up to the service person and asks "Will this fit my car?!?" holding a cheapo pod filter

the service guy was like "umm.. what car?"

"silvia?!?!" as if it wouldnt be any other

"umm i dont know have u measured it?"

"no?!?!?" then walks away with i look on his face as if the guy should know if it does


My question is are modders becoming slack?

because ..

"im sick of pulling up the handbrake when i drift"

"will this fit?" without even doing any measuring

now i know, when i look at buying something i like to research it, to c if im getting the best thing 4 my money or ripped off

**no offense to silvia drivers**
it's just what happened, i think it's because they have no experience, but just know "words" because of major online forums.

some


ANY OPINIONS STORIES??

I'm sure there was a time in all our lives that we knew diddly squat about cars......it's just scary that these kids are trying to drift around the place in silvias......

I started out in an automatic 120Y that would do 100kph if there was a tail wind or i was going down hill

It takes time to learn, i just hope they can learn without hurting anyone

well i reckon these bogan modders are idiots, like they go out and buy somethin, lets say a reasonably cheap rwd car that has lots of parts, oh! a silvia! (not baggin em ) and they go out and get some cheap ass pod and think they get an extra 10kw or whatever, they they do some other gay mods, which makes the car look worse, but hey, its like what area 7 says : "nobody like a bogan"

haha my lil bro works at supa cheap and deals with stupid shit like this ALL DAY LONG.

i think generally the consumer is getting stupid (except hachi owners ) one of my jobs is in retail and the problem of stupidity is quickly growing.


i think we should remove all saftey labels and let the problem sort it self out! haha

I think its just a pre 3fast 3furious phase people are going through to try to cut down on the ammount of dumbness after the movie comes out.

Or maybe its just the direction drifting is going...
