What do you think about the Minitruckin Scene ?

For some reason I get these random thoughts in my sleep about my child hood, I was reflecting back to when I first got my truck and how hyped I was because I was so young with something so neat. The other day my neighboor brought his grandson (6) outside and I was letting him hit the switches and watching how big his eyes got, just reminded me of thats how I was when I was that young. Minitruckin is probably the best thing thats ever happened to me, I have never realized how attached you can become to people online that you have never met, everyone is a huge family and always trying to help in any way possible.

I really got a big taste of this family atmosphere when one of my real good buddies was hit and killed last year from a drunk driver. It was just unreal watching everyone come back together no matter what conflicts they had in the past. Just watching people go to great links to help out in any way possible..

This forum by far tops any I have ever been on, I just wanna say thanks guys and I wanna hear some opinions as well as to what you think of the minitruckin scene.

i drive my truck daily and i love the attention and looks i get from older people and younger people alike when i hit the switches. there is no feeling like makin someone else smile and giving them somethin to bring up at the dinner table. lately i've taken it for granted... us mini truckers get a lot of attention but we also work our asses off to make these trucks look good.

also, we kinda get looked down on because of stupid shit that people have seen before. i.e. mexicans and blacks rollin out in a car with adjustable suspension and shootin up the neighborhood.

SOMEHOW we need to get word out that... thats NOT us...

hey it's not just mexicans and blacks it's all kinds of people that have screwed it for us when they go out and do dumb shit and to point out certian rece is wrong bro.,

^^agreed^^

Mini truckin is the best this forum is agreed to best i have ever been on, everyone acts as if they have known eachother most there life which is awesome, sorry about your loss man, drunk driving isnt cool. Only thing i hate is when someone is jealous about or trucks/cars and hates on them, it upsets me really bad lol, but i love making kids smile, when they say hit a switch and i do and they glow, I like being low its more fun, lol.

I agree with all that the same, i mean ive never had a bagged truck (yet) and im always trying to do my best, im the youngest one on the scene yet treated like everyone else. that what i love about the scene, it doesent matter what race you are, how old you are, what your truck has done to it or anything else. the only thing that matters here is that we are all here for the same reasons, we love trucks it our passion, our lifestyle and none the less its just who we are, we are here to help each other and be helped by others, get opinions and give opinions, show what weve done soo it can be appreciated and aswell appriciate other peoples work.
best forum i have ever been on thats for sure.

Sorry to hear about the loss man that really sucks but shit happens everyday and we cant control that.

Also i dont tell anyone this much but thanks everyone for always being there to help me out aswell as keeping this forum a good one.

wow, i think its time for an online group hug. lol

^^hahaha

you know i remember when u lost ur friend, seeing that really pulled alot of us closer on the site, ive never even met you yet i was there to send my condolences, thats what (in my opinion) makes minitruckers one big family. on this forum ive got alot of guys i talk to on a regular basis, yet 95% ive never met, thats why this forum is awsome!! as for being a minitrucker ive always been into trucks since i was a kid, something about a truck was just badass. i got into the import scene in 98, only because my friends and family were invovled with it. seeing 3 friends die due to it, made me say fuck this, i wanna live!! sold my integra for 700, yes 700, and i put alot shit into it, just wanted to get rid of it fast!!! so i bought a 94 mazda, lowered it, then bagged it, then dragged the hell out if it. that was probably the best decision of my life, the shows i went to, the friends ive made, just something about a minitrucks that brings out the best of anyone. i cant tell you the many friends ive made in the minituckin scene. i like the looks i get especially from lil kids, my sons love it, my 2yr old sees a truck on the road and yells daddy daddy, truck, psssst, psssst, crrrrrrr, cant make the dragging sound, but u get the idea its funny cuz just last night my mom was telling me i need to grow up, and get out of this hobby, but i cant, just something about it, weve become one big family, and thats what it is, i wish my mom could just see how it really is, not all the bullshit negative crapt she thinks goes on. but like i said i love this sport, hobby, passion, culture, scene, whatever you wanna call it, i love it, and yes i love yall too

Im really glad me and my boyfriend are on this forum, i have not once been teased for being a gurl that likes to work on trucks. ive gotten to learn so much about wat im interested in that they dont teach at my college. and so many people on here are willing to help with parts and info its really nice. and when our truck is done and we're rollin around campus we can be like "yup we did this" lolz and i love going to all the shows even tho ive only been to a few, and i can be one of the gurls who have a truck there and not just be there to be getting wit guys.

make fun of you for werkin on trucks! hell i think its hot when a girl like to work of trucks.
