You're an ex-Impreza man, so it all sounds even sillier right? :wink:
Funny u mentioned it.
When I first bought my Impreza and joined SCM(SubaruClubMalaysia),we were a small club with the members comprising mostly 30-over-ish professionals.Very mature crowd with some very very good drivers,reflected by our forum and also track,tt and group drive activities.
We were generally looked down upon by the mostly younger JDM crowd(Evos,TypeRs etc),the Subaru often thought to be inferior to other JDM machines,mostly down to the fact that Subarus are more expensive to mod,but more likely due to their ignorance.
But we didn't care..cuz we knew that we had something rare,unique,superquick but to mention a few.We were a quietly proud bunch.
It all went downhill tho as the grey importers started to flood the market with reconditioned STis and many young buyers(with daddy's money and most just got their driving licenses) started to buy the STis by the bucketloads.The forum started to get nasty and tt sessions spoilt by immature acts of d33k measuring antics.Disgusting.Cars barely 2weeks after being registered are being totalled by these young punks..I was speechless.
The old guards are still there at SCM,I might join them again when I hv the means cuz I still love the cars,deeply.
As am I with the BMW brand.
As far as d33k measuring is concerned,I still smile to myself when I hear one
