so what happened to all of the racer boy types?

A couple of weeks ago my buddy and I were discussing how annoying these racer boy types are and it dawned on us that they are a dying breed. Then the conversation turned to even the more serious modified vehicles are rarely seen.

You know two years ago you'd see tons of cars that were modded either with cheap body kits, or with real performance stuff. Domestic and import alike. I could'nt even take a sunday drive without someone reving at me or challenging me to a race.

So the question is still stands: what happened? Did the cops finally crack down or something? or is the fad over?

Recently here in San Fernando valley they had a crack down on all the crazy meets, ricers, tuners, swapers, promoters and importers alike. After that the Valley got kinda quiet.... I believe like 100+ cars were impounded in one night... But I'm not one to say. I'll try and find the stats on it...

I still support the stickers cause it gives allot of front wheel horsepower. Also have the big tip mufflers cause it gives arrow dynamics to my ride. If i see you, i will make sure to rev on you till you drive in your drive way cause its the shizzle yo!
