happy inauguration day supremacy racers,
as change is the driving force behind the new presidential administration, so it shall be on our little corner of the internet here. before i begin my little rant for the day though, i'd like to go ahead and clear the air and just let everyone know that i'm not kel lol. not that there's anything wrong with that, but he's just been telling me how people have been saying that he's posting under this name like some sort of bruce wayne/batman alter ego.
haha let me assure you, my dear readers, that is most certainly not the case, i am me, kel is kel. and the opinions i express are that of my, ray chong chen, and should they offend you in anyway, i have to apologize up front. i'm just merely trying to stay true to my own thoughts.
anyways, one of the most impressive things about the industry now is how far reaching its scope is. by this, i mean that the "tuner" (i hate that word, as i hope you guys do too) market has penetrated so many facets of american life that it's just unfathomable. i'm sure that never in some people's wildest dreams did they ever imagine it would get to this point. for that, we have a variety of factors to thank, the first, as much as we may not want to admit it, is the fast and the furious. believe it or not, i honestly feel that this movie may have done the scene more benefit than harm in the long run. it made it mainstream, made it ok to want to drive an import, and ultimately showed people how NOT to do it.
but, the coolest thing that i felt came out of this generation Y revolution, is the melding of all the subcultures that we as america's youth are into. everything is beginning to meld together, cars, clothes, extreme sports, video games. i don't know about you guys, but i find this to be cooler than all hell. the best example of this is the dc sports rally cars.
back when we were growing up, you either had to be one thing or another. you were either a skater, a wannabe thug, a music head, a videogamer or what have you. but you were one thing, you hung out with one crew, and that was the end of that. nowadays, you have the freedom to like whatever you want to, as much as you want to and with who you want to.
and that, my friends, is change.
on the topic of change, me and kel were kicking around some ideas for the shop, and it might be time for supremacy to get its "shine" on. ;-) stay tuned kiddos!
