I don't like either of the interiors.

 

First, I will appologize for my first post being a little harsh, as I was already in a bad mood about other things, and then seeing the bash fest that I knew was going to follow in this thread, I immediately got hot headed. Anyway, with that said (now that Comcast is finally working again), let's respond...

First, I've seen a LOT of v6 bashing lately and it's really sad that these v6 bashes are that out of concept with the qualities of a long-lived vehicle life. If there was never a v6 for the Fbody, you could kiss your car goodbye, because the FBody would've been dead long before yours was made. As much as the hardcore "a 4th generation Camaro is a muscle car" people disagree with a v6 in a "muscle car" the Camaro needs to be something more than a Chevy version of the newer Thunderbird (meant to target only the enthusiasts, and hence only lasted what like 5 years if that?). What I mean is that without v6 versions, without options that make the vehicle more appealing to the "average vehicle buyer," the vehicle sales of enthusiasts only would not sustain the life of the vehicle, and it would've been a shortlived car. GM knows this, and they want to sell as many vehicles as possible, hence they will try to appeal to as many vehicle buyers as possible.

Yes, my car is a v6. Oh god, it looks faster than it is. It's domestic rice, it's this, it's that. Get over it. I was 16 when I bought my car. I was looking for a "sporty car" with insurance I could afford. Further proving my point of "a v6 model makes the Camaro more appealing to the average joe vehicle buyers" I went with the v6 because it drove sporty, insurance wasn't bad, and it was still a great vehicle for a 16 year old to start with. Because of this v6 option, I will now faithfully be a Camaro owner whether you like it or not. In the future, when it's time to add to my collections and purchase a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Camaro, you can bet your top dollar that it will be a v8 option, but I guess I have to appologize as I wasn't a spoiled, I wasn't financially gifted, and I couldn't rely on mommy and daddy to pay for a z28 and the related insurance.

In any case, I'm going to overlook the bashing of my vehicle, the ignorant comments made, and concentrate yet again on the vehicle that this thread was SUPPOSED to be about before yet again it turned into a "Bash Meissen's car thread" ( Btw, bash it all you want, I really do truthfully get a kick out of it. )

What some seem to fail to realize is that there are many ways to mod a vehicle. One is to make it a show car. Likewise, there's many different variations of show cars. There are classic cars, engine-oriented show cars, and there's custom. Obviously, this vehicle is meant to be "custom." Secondly, let's look at where the vehicle is located. Puerto Rico. I think it's safe to say that the ideas of what to do with a Camaro there are quite different than here in America.

I appreciate the work it takes to do something custom and different because I try to do the same with my car. It takes a lot more to do something different and custom than it does to do something that the mainstream people do. Hell, just look at this thread and the amount of flames I get for doing what I want to my own vehicle. That said, that's why I always do stick up for most of the custom and unique mods, because SOMEONE has to, and I don't mind the flames in the process (I love to debate). It's really easy as a group to sit on a forum and bash a car day in and day out when you don't know the person, or have never seen the vehicle in person. It's another to standup and actually say, I don't like it, but I do respect the work and how much time was put into the car. (Not directed at anyone in specific) One, you look like an idiot and lose a bit of respect, the other you still portray that you don't like it, but you don't make yourself look like an idiot in the process.

In any case, I see where the owner of that car was going for [custom car show quality] and for that I can understand and respect what was done. Again, I don't personally like the steering wheel idea, BUT at the same time, it's kinda cool that he/she was able to do something like that. Likewise, I'm not sure what all the anti-one color red type comments are for, just look at a classic hotrod and you'll see bright red interiors, guess those are rice too.

 

*sigh* it must be easier to live in a delusional bubble

 

We call that ignorance.

We call that hypocrisy.


I think it's hillarious you mock other peoples opinions, then halfway expect them not to bash you back for the same thing even if they make a point and you're just being a complete tool?

The fact the entire inside of that car is red, and most people don't like it, is their opinions, get it through YOUR head.

Get that fact through and stop trying to cause **** with dumb comments like this, and practice what you preach, You damn hypocrit.

 

Yeah guys don't bash V6's. With out them we wouldn't have cheap affordable parts cars.

 

What I was saying is that if someone posted a '77 Corvette interior or such, I doubt there's going to be a massive response, because "its a classic." The idea of having an all red interior on this car is no different (only talking about the red interior, not the screens and all that part)

 

Thats exactly my point, they are just opinions, and you're throwing gasoline on a bonfire making dumb remarks about how you "guess thats rice to"

fools will be fools regardless of whatever the hell you say to them, so why bother?

 

Point made. Touche.

 

Never really get into these debates. But a 77 vette or a 32 hi-boy, never
have been a fan of ALL red interiors.

 

How did this turn into a bashing Meissen thread? I personally don't like his interior, or some of his exterior mods, but who cares? It's his car, he likes it, he didn't buy it to please everyone. He made some quick remarks and he apologized for it. This thread was about an interior on a show car that most thought was absolutely ridiculous. I don't like that interior either. But, isn't that what people who show their cars are about though, making people talk about it? They want to make you say, holy crap (whether good or bad) and talk about it, which everyone has done in this thread. Have they not accomplished their goal? We've beaten this into the ground as well as moved the topic towards other people who had opinions like everyone else. I'm definitely not talking down to everyone like my opinion matters more b/c I've def had a lot of shitty opinions before that I shouldn't have shared, but come on guys, we're a community of people who like and dislike what each other do. We learn from constructive criticism not personal bashing. There are people who dig muscle car embodiment and people who dig making a car look like a japanese technology convention but in the end we're still all LS1Tech'ers.

 

Ok so my point has been trumped. I giveup.

 

Now...what that suppose to mean?? Have you ever been in Puerto Rico?? The car trends there are exactly the same as in the US. Bad taste, my little friend, is bad taste anywhere.

Ive seen your car pics and excuse me but your direction in appearance is not very far from the car in question. So could we make a conclusion here that you live or like the "puertorican" style mods??? NO of course not...

This is just to show you how weak your argument is....hell even racist. (although I must admit you surely were not meaning to sound like this).

...and Im not passing any judgement about your car been V6 or not cause I think its pretty stupid to bash you about this....now your appearance mods are kind of "controversial"....

 

No definitely wasn't meaning it racial in any way. Wasn't even talking about the interior, was talking about the exterior and the bodykit. Was more so meaning that you're more apt to see that bodykit on an out of country Camaro than you are here, atleast I would think. Maybe I'm just stereotyping, but I've only seen those Japanese aerokits on fbodies not in the US. If someone takes offense or thought it racist, I do appologize. Definitely made a good point though, as our cars style would be alike and I'm not in Puerto Rico.

 

I think this thread took a turn in the wrong direction. I see people getting offended over some of the subject matter, so I am going to end this before it gets any deeper in here.
