Guys, I think we can let this one die. Anyone who knows ChopOlds knows that he wasn't insulted by the comment, but the wording proabably caught him off guard. I'm pretty sure I know who made the comment, and in that case I can say with certainty that his nose is bigger than his brain. The dude is definitely a newb when it comes to custom cars and doesn't understand the difference between a sick 60's style sled and lowrider/ghetto-gangbanger/urban-drive-by taxi. Let's drop the discussion of race and close this thread...or keep posting pics of Mark's badass Dodge!
You shoulda got some pics of his ride so we all could make fun of it. It is obvious the lil shit don't know the difference in customs and eras and such. Sounds like the kinda guy who buys a late 90's model caprice 4 door taxi from the auction, slams it, paints it primer black and paints the stock wheels red and slaps some white walls on it perpetrating the rock-a-silly look. Pay no attention to the lil tyke, he's still learnin'. I can't remember how many times my pops backhanded me for smart ass remarks but I did remember to keep my mouth shut after a while.
I wouldn't be insulted about my car,but I would be insulted about a racist crack in general. You should have called him on it.
Saw your car at the show, and don't worry about what somebody said, its your car - you drive it and like it. It is a excellent ride!
Stupid racist fucker. I get that kinda remark often when I roll my lowered, flaked '91 Caprice wagon daily driver. Usually by some tard in a cherry '85 Escort or something else equally cool.
dude, your car is a perfect 60's kustom, no matter what ANYBODY says. kids like these just feel hard when they can tell someone their car ain't cool. it's like the whole "real hotrods have three pedals" nonsense, i mean why denounce somebody and their car just for something minor like that? it's completely stupid and i think the kid was the challenged one.
ive gotten "you fix your car up guero style" from a lot of the homies. the just dont get it . they think it has to be a lowrider because im latino
I can only assume that he is... A) Very ignorant B) Can't tell a custom from a low rider C) Doesn't know that caucasians can and do own low riders D) Surely doesn't understand that low riders are to be respected
Hey Mark, Its obvious a case of either jealousy or ignorance but your confident in your abilities and its obvious you have more talent in a drop of spit than he has in his entire body!.The dodge is looking GOOD! Later Mike
O.K. it's late for me but , you should have showed dominance right there and whipped it out and peed on him or bent him over and dry humped him in front of everyone and then laughed as he went off crying. Just me but after that comment I think all bets were off. Fuck him. Nice ride . Oh! did I say that out loud ? LOL . swaZZie
I know this thread has been worked, but just had to say something. Ignorant rascist comments and attitudes persist. I've seen more than a few times Japanese being referred to as "Japs" by members of the H.A.M.B. and have wanted to give up on this site entirely. Yes, I'm Japanese American, fourth generation growing up in Hawaii and every one of my uncles and my dad was in Europe fighting fascism too. Just have to look at all the good people you meet and friendships that come out of this scene and forget about the few ignorant ones that say the stupidist things. Stick with the people that have been straight with you and leave the rest behind. Life really is too short to get hung up on that shit! Aloha, Lucky444
this damn thread has more posts than most of the "car" threads! your car looks like a lowrider. so what! im sick of this over the top "politically correctness". im offended by the term "white". i would appreciate it if you would reffered to me as euro-anglo-american. what the fuck? let this stupid thread DIE. zombie
anytime you go one hair past stock, you're going to get someone with an opinion. i was putting gas in my '32 5w and a black girl across the way said "that's a nice car, you should put some low profile rims on it". i'm still trying to figure out what low profile rims are. if you are worried about what others think, get yourself a stock grey toyota and be done with it.
Then what would you call lownslow (Donnie) here on the HAMB that has a '60's -lowrider style olds? I would call him a friggin Micheal Angelo w/ a paint gun. Pretty fly for a white guy!!!!!! Eveyone is always going to say something oppinionated.....water off a ducks back. KNUX!
That car is cool as hell! I take pics of it every time I see it, including the Road Agents! Maybe the guy was out in the sun too long...? Spike
When he said "Caucasianally challenged" he meant many lame white boys will call you out because they don't get it and your car has more style in it's ashtray than their entire heap! It's not about race, it's about taste- LUX laid down panels, pearl, and flake on La Snowblind Bevin that makes the whole Eastside drool!
Your car is a lowrider! Heh, joking. But you have to admit it... Growing up in south central, you definitely didn't see any customs. So it was safe to think that the blacks are gonna think it's lowrider minus the paint, and yes the homies call it a white boy car because you refuse to slap some 14" daytons on it. We were never understood but at least we were respected. We were punk rock kids with custom cars and called "Pleasantville" by the homies! ha ha ha. Good times. Pleasantville: as in that horrible movie starring Tobey McGuire and Reese Witherspoon. Blech.
Think theres a mexican dude out there somewhere burnin up web space cause another mexican ragged on him for driving a volvo!! No you shouldn't be insulted, he was just trying to be funny!! Get over it!!lol Besides i think it was a "anti-Jersey" remark, i've been to Newark!!! JimV
