heh - I have a massive wing , large rims, a bodykit, and anti lag on my car ... ( im also 30 - and very much anti gansta, anti hoodie, anti boy racer )

Guaranteed to get me pulled over? - Still yes ..

But the flags of " book me " are all factory fitted. Sucks even to be to be factory Spec when the police want to raise a few more dollars for their coffers.

They will do you regardless , if they have a quota to meet ..

One tick missed on a box , on a green sticker issue , cost me well in excess of 400 bucks to fix , EVEN though my car was perfectly legal.

I juts paid for donuts for a few weeks for one of the local traffic units.

Might be a bit extreme but with all the public outcry i'm not 100% sure what people in the general public are going to do.


Yeah thats the shit thing. What if you are a true Metal Mulisha fan? Its crap.
Ive got 1 for the back of my car and now Im not to sure I want to as my car has aftermarket rims, lowering, exhaust etc do I automatically get put into this "Boyracer Nazi" bracket??
Really $&#$% me off more than anything that they have tried to turn everyday skate/motocross labels into these so called "Nazi car gangs!!"

IM just going to jump in with this convo, i havnt read all of it so sorry if its a repeat :)

ok so im from chch myself and can admit there are plenty young d*ckheads here blah blah blah, what amused me was what i read in the paper which went something along the lines of, " Boyracers are the problem, car enthusiast have nothing to worry about." <== What a load!!
You think any cop is going to give too sh*ts wether your car enthusiast?

Example: it was awhile ago now but, i got pulled over by a cop for and exhaust substaintially louder then factory. Fair enough i copped a fine etc etc. I mean what the hell? had i been riding a harley ( and some are a hell of alot louder then any cars ive heard) he probably would not have looked twice!

Hahah also, i suffer from thinning hair haha at the age of 19, how embarrasing haha, so i choose to shave it off, but does this make me a neo nazi?? All the stereotyping and name calling going around atm isn't doing anyone any good and from another post it is definatly going to get worse before it gets better.

Its abit sad that its gotten this far, that the same people who can ruin something at school still have a way of ruining it for others out of school, where you'd think all that sorta crap is left at the gate..

Im thinking of selling my car now, ae101 trueno. I love my car, im proud of what ive managed to save up and do to it, all off my own back, no handouts, no borrowed money. the first expensive thing ive owned. And at this time and the way things are atm, i cant afford tickets i don't deserve and the hassle of it all. The pros out weigh the cons and im sure im not alone......


Thats my bitch done! :D its probly not relevant to the convo hahah sorry if its abit off topic!!

i suggest you nip over to NZPC forums: http://forums.performancecar.co.nz/view ... &sk=t&sd=a it would appear that Metal Mulisha are not what you would call 'squeaky-clean'.
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

Yea it is a nazi helmet... but that is completely beside the point!

People dont put it on their car as a "nazi symbol" they put it on as they like the design or they are maybe into motocross... And when I say they might like the design Im talking about the skull as most people like skulls and what not "as a design" and "army hat" or "nazi hat" whatever you want to call it... Army is also a design or whatever you want to call it that appeals to people.
If you ask me the logo is clever as well as so called "neo nazi"

But what are they going to start on next??
The FOX logo

or even

the THOR logo
Image

Im sure they can some how bring something to do with racism into foxes or viking styles with helmets... I mean in some sort of line you can do that with anything??

Fuken pisses me off in all honesty.

Sorry to be anal, but nah, it's not a Nazi helmet, it's a helmet used by the German army for half the 20th century (and as an aside, looks remarkably like the US Army helmet used nowadays)... I get your point though, it's the image/ look/ design they were going for, and the media have latched onto it to do whatever they need to sell copy.
