I know a lot of yall will hate cause you don't understand it. This is how we get down where I'm from, "run what you brung".
I live just outside of the Atlanta metro area and have been to several big wheel car shows. Crappy paint, crappy body work, and the same goes for the interior. The overall quality is substandard. They are concerned with the way their car looks (in their case their wheels) instead of the car it self, and being that this car culture is still fairly new people are still trying to go for the shock or aww factor. These are some of the same issues lowriding dealt with in the early 90s. In a few yrs most will move on the the next newest thing and the true riders will work towards having clean cars with proportionate sized wheels.
This culture isn't new. It's new to the you as it just hit the mainstream at the being of the millenium, but it had been going on in my social environment. I don't know what car shows you've been to, but I know in ATL for a fact, at the DUB car show a lot of the show cars there are actual cars that you'll see on street on in given day (especially Sunday). If it's truly a show car, there's nothing substandard about it. In ATL, everything has to be done A-1 for you car to even be known in the street, let alone the car show circuit. This isn't the next big thing to us, maybe to you. We grew up putting rims on cars with big motors, updating the interior, and getting some of the wettest paint they sell. There are some ugly one out there, but they're usually just works in progress, like mine. You gotta start somewhere.
Stop going to those side of the road, backwoods, half-a## car shows. Don't make me post pics of just some of the ATL's street cars.
