Car Throttle opinions?

try not being an old sack of bones and meat and try again

a group on non car guys pretending to be car guys to appeal to non car guys pretending to be car guys.

>>15280484

So you actually like their obnoxious, obvious pandering to millennials?

"Lol we're such car guys aren't we? Lol I know all about how an MX-5 drives! Lol even though I'm a teenager or university student who as only driven my mum's Peugeot 106, I don't have the money for a real car, I've never looked under a bonnet in my life, and I've never raced a car in my life either! Lol let's make funny meems about cars! xD"

>>15280498
funny because thats exactly what boomers do

"Lol we're such car guys aren't we? Lol I know all about how a Camaro drives! Lol even though I'm a old guy with no driving experience or arthritic old man who can only driven my wifes's Ford Thunderbird, I don't have the money for a real car, I've never looked under a bonnet in my life, and I've never raced a car in my life either! Lol let's make funny meems about japanese cars! xD"

>>15280504
Except that's wrong.

They may be shit at it but almost every boomer that wasn't born into wealth was under the "bonnet" because they simply HAD to when they were younger. I'd also expect that a lot do know how Camaros drive because they were everyfuckingwhere back then. Many times more sold then compared to now.

>>15280530
>they simply HAD to when they were younger.
>every boomer fixed his own car
>no one took him to the mechanic

>everyone totally drove a camaro back in the day
>which make them experst at driving the modern camaro


yeah no

>>15280530
>I'm not a millennial!
>I'm better than everyone!
>look at me!

Srlsy OP, of you actually look at the community of the site, and leave the ebin maymays at Facebook and whatnot, you'll see it's actually a pretty decent site, and actually shows good things of "car culture" to some kids, who sincerely, would never know better if they kept themselves listening to Drake and driving Corollas.

>>15280497
You hit the nail on the head anon

>>15280536
The Camaro was your stereotype mate. Obviously not everybody has driven a Camaro yet you are assuming every baby boomer claims to.

My point is that Car Throttle is full of obnoxious, self-important, unfunny, twat millennials who think they know about cars.

I think I even prefer people who watch Shmee to people who use Car Throttle, and believe me, I fucking hate Shmee too. But at least the people who watch that obviously have an interest in cars (otherwise they wouldn't watch the videos) whereas people on Car Throttle want *others to think that they like cars*. They're trying to make it part of their identity. Like it's some cool badge of honour to be "lol le petrolhead xD"

>>15280560
I'm OP and that guy wasn't me, he was just another anon with a brain.

By the way I'm 25, you could say I'm a "millennial" myself, I just despise others of a similar age to me who represent the worst qualities of our generation - the main one being NARCISSISM. Which is what I think this whole "let's create funny meems about cars and pretend we have a clue what we're talking about" culture results in.

If young guys are interested in cars they should watch Chris Harris or real car videos. Or buy a car and get their hands dirty. Instead of posting fucking memes.

>>15280575
>>15280579
So you're annoyed because you think I'm taking aim at millennial car fans?

I'm not taking aim at millennial car fans. I'm taking aim at Car Throttle because it's shit.

>so, just like the comment section of hot rod mag, fast mustangs and performance fors and chevy performance mag and forums like jalopy journal, petrolicious and others

At least those guys aren't insufferable narcissists.

>>15280589
it is, but so does every other online car community

>millenial
Unless you were born before the 80s and after 2000 you're a millenial too, OP.

>>15280595
>it is, but so does every other online car community

Nah, I reckon other communities include people with an actual interest in cars.

People on Car Throttle strike me as people who think a car is a status symbol. They're young guys in their 20s, probably left-wing, probably went to a good school and have a degree, and they're working their first depressing office job, maybe in a bank, maybe as a web developer. And they think "I bet people would think I was cool if I was interested in cars". So they shitpost on this fucking car meme website all day and think that makes them a fucking petrolhead.

>>15280599
I already said I'm 25 mate but that doesn't mean I don't despise social media addicted cunts of the same age as me.

As I said as well, I AM NOT CRITICISING MILLENNIAL CAR ENTHUSIASTS. There are many people my sort of age who are GENUINE car guys. I have a couple of old friends from school who are really into their cars, and we always were from a young age. But they're not the sort of vapid, narcissistic, social media addicted, preening, probably homosexual twats who go on Car Throttle

they're all a bunch of facebook meme spouting faggots

Cancer throttle was a cool idea.

Shame its run by a bunch of: "L O L MAY MAYS GET DAT AD MONEY BOIS"
Type of Jews that drive around auto shitboxes.

The "Owner" is some fucking Arab faggot that drives an auto M3, who has only got his hands dirty when he slips wiping his arse.

Only interesting thing that used to be on there was "Alex's" MX5, and he ended up paying a garage to do all of shit his because he's too fucking retarded to fit an exhaust.

FUCKING KILL ME REEEEEEEEEEE

Absolute cancer. And this comes from a former "ctzen" the site was alright in the begining, but since they released the smartphone apps it all went to shit honestly.

>>15280914
>smart phone apps
Why does every fucking website need an 'app' now?

>>15280917
To attract more people, and produce more revenue. Simple as that.

how about both are meme spewing cancer fests whose fans should actually buy a car pick up a wrench and figure out how it actually works, rather than binge watching top ten car meme videos and referring to themselves as "petrolheads". Seriously i thought it was just "car guy" why the fuck do people watch these people on youtube, PICK UP A FUCKING WRENCH AND LEARN YOU FAGGOT.

>>15282303

because the metaphoric "wrench" is expensive as fuck and the "learning" can cause you to lose your job by not showing up because you dont have a working car anymore

>>15282320

>>15282353
you can get a crossbike for 2k
you can get more than enough tools for less than 1k
you can take classes during vacations

sounds like you are a pleb who isn't interested in cars, bikes or wrenching

This thread blows shit. How hard/expensive is it to maintain a fucking shitbox, no one here is expecting you to have a project car but to have basic knowledge and at least a little experience with fixing and maintaining cars and it's pretty damn obvious where you get your "experience" from, Mr. Petrolhead Youtube Memer. Shut the fuck up, save some dosh, and quit acting like maintaining a shitbox is as hard, time consuming, and expensive as restoring a classic, you fucking faggot.

You really should leave this board and educate your own retarded ass.

Oh right, Youtube. Yeah, leave and don't come back faggot, you're a lost cause.

you literally just avoided everything he said except for one small insult he gave you. answer everything else in that post and we might take you seriously.

If you unironically use the word milennial negatively, and chances are, that's what you're doing; I hope you headbutt a fucking nail. You need brain damage in your life. Especially while referring to young people trying to get into car culture or cars in general.
People like you are the reason I stay away from big bike and car meets. Bunch of old bags listening to dad rock, and parking their cars or bikes. Complaints about liberals, minorities, or young people.

Fuck every single one of you. Die so your divorced wife can sell your car for a quarter of the value to spite your family. And have the respect to die outside of your car. You are the biggest barrier to entry for young people.

>>15283917
millennials grew up in the age of easily consumed car meme media. they are generally fuckwits because of this, rather than people mid-20s and older who learned about it organically through many years. it's a perfectly reasonable term and its only used when the person in question is being a fuckwit.

I don't particularly like their content or community. But then again I don't visit their site anyway so what does it really matter to me right?

Millennials suck. Worse yet are the Snowflake generation. Boomers eat ass. Gen X is the best out the entire history of mankind. Now go fix the broken muffler strap on your pos civic that your gran gave you and shut the fuck up.
