Brandon came over today to use the warmth of the garage to do his rear brakes. So after a fight with the RX7 to get it outside, we finally got his car in.
This reminded me what Big City Felons is all about. A discussion with Mike recently reminded me why we really do this. It's not just for the cars. It's for the friends. It's for the feeling we get when we all go out for a drift sesh, and chill in Timmies afterwards - swapping stories and hyping eachother up. It's about sharing our knowledge with another, and getting their knowledge in return. It's building connections, with our cars and our crew. We need more of that.
And there's always people out there with "better" cars (of course this is their opinion - and I believe a by-product of their larger budgets) parked in their garages, hating on what we do. They mock the ideas of "drift sessions", "winter beater meets", and sharing knowledge. But you know? I call that jealousy. And there's a quote about jealousy that goes like this.
"
Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies."
Well we're smiling. What are you doing?
I got a big ass fuckin smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteNever did I think that the automotive scene would lead to some of the best group of friends I've ever had. So thankful for the resources I've had access to, the knowledge I've attained and the experiences I've been through thanks to making these connections that Graeme is talking about.
Hooray for friendly people!
