remember back in the day, speedoptions.com, overboost.com?? even jtuned.com no longer seeing updates.. mannn!!! those where some of my favorite sites. They where pretty chill to kick back.. overboost had alot of nice technical blogs before they became a media coverage site.

speedhunters.com is probably the only cool site now.

speedoptions...rice and thief central
overboost.com... was pretty cool but paying for a membership for their weak content wasn't.

jtuned.com - bunch of honda dudes who modded out their honda's, bought camera's to take pictures of their honda's and then became professional photographers and circle jerk journalists.

same thing with some other site that is... ahhhh tunerzine.com as well.

Sites like that is how some certain douchebags in the industry get famous for nothing and get them connections like some of the enthusiasts that deserve the sponsorships they ask for and need. As opposed to the dipshits who do nothing with it.

Just like this one dude that got honda to sponsor his drag racing team, turns around and buys a sweet ass towing rig, and a lambo, drag racer never got built, money was spent. Now honda refuses to sponsor a lot of teams that would need that sponsorship.

Granted this is a nissan site, I'm just venting.

Sometimes we run out of internet but hell there is always 562draggers.com or something lol!

^^^ end thread. those sites are all terrible. jtuned was tolerable for 1 year while all those dudes were still figuring out their cameras. now, not so much.

Maybe it's because people forgot how to spell enthusiast?

I can't agree more, it seems like alot of sites are circle jerking.

Speedhunters is cool, I actually dig that site because its not just some asshole guys who are sponsored by everyone $$$ (i.e. Jtuned)

Speedhunters has awesome coverage

It's all about keeping the cool stuff underground.

Friends and I meet on the corner trading pics of fresh 180's.
