Car culture vs car scene: what’s the difference? We really only have a car scene anymore, a place for weekend warriors to show off their fully built cars/trucks. These people strive for the impossible, a perfect build. Fresh clean paint jobs and shiny expensive rims. Just to take the car out to car shows and post it all over social media. There are so many “rules” to follow on what you should and should not do to your car and what cars you should drive, and if you don’t follow these “rules” you would be shunned and made fun of by others in the car community. Even when you do everything right you’re still constantly bullied and made fun of for something you do to the vehicle. When you go to a car show and look at what people build or even just scroll through social media they all start to look similar because of these so called “rules.”
Real car culture is forgetting about all the “rules” and tropes set by society. You should just do what you want how you want to any vehicle. Real car culture is made up from drivers who aren’t afraid to push their car to the max no matter if it’s a Honda civic or a Ferrari Laferrari. You don’t need a pretty paint job, a rust free car or a car that’s making 1000hp minimum to be part of car culture and that’s what people nowadays don’t understand. We all have the same love for our vehicles as anyone else.
