Another H2Oi Video... worth a watch.

[Shmi]

because in 3 years i'll be like, "oh, vw is the best brand! I should buy a gti now!"



My age has nothing to do with my opinions, and just because you're older doesn't mean you have to forsake your own views to fit in with your peers.

shhuuuuut uuuuuuup. No one here respects you because you're ****ing obtuse as hell.

I'll break it down for you: People go to H20 because it is a CAR SHOW put on to SHOW CARS and HAVE FUN. Be it drinking, going go-karting for the day, enjoying the beach, travelling with friends, who cares really WHY? We get it, it's not for you. Congratulations. But if you can't even understand why it IS for thousands of people, you're either deliberately obtuse, or dumb.

[Denniswhat]

Because I'm the only one with cajones enough to say, "No, this show (H2Oi) sucks because it's less about cars and more about being drunk for a whole weekend" and not "I applaud you guys for this" because it's apparently cool to act like Jersey Shore trash all weekend and use a common INTEREST of cars as an excuse to do so?

FWIW, I like OP's production, but I don't like his choice of venue to cover.

Your wrong. I think your perception of the huge party scene is mostly due to the location. OCMD is a huge party location EVERY weekend regardless of the event. I know me and my group of friends as well as most of the people I know that go, look forward to this weekend as a vacation and like to have a good time with their friends. I would say the majority of the people are there to enjoy the car scene and sounds of big turbo's screaming up and down the strip all night.

I don't know why your so butt hurt over H20i but this was my sixth year going and had a great time as always and got to see some very awesome cars.

Probably not, but your extreme close-mindedness will start to go away.

I miss Ocean City. Meant to get back there this summer but never did.

But this show? Is it all about the low? Does anyone show up with a nice, OEM+ MK2 16V anymore or is that deemed lame by today's "enthusiasts"?

Oh, and get those damn kids off my lawn!

There are still plenty of clean well built VW's of all generations, however most are strictly for the "stance" style or at least most that are shown in pictures and videos. My Mk2 can be seen in this video a few times at the end while parked(Helios GLI).

I heard all week-end that I need to lower my Mk2 however it's built to be an enjoyable car to drive, I am not out there for the attention as the "stance" cars are.

[Slipstream]

It explains a lot.

And not just in this thread, either.

I don't disagree with him about the show (I went a few years ago and it just wasn't my thing) but dude... let it go. You don't have to convince everyone that H2O sucks. Move on.

[benjaminobscene]

I have no idea what your car looks like, but I'll try to include it.... lol


Also quick tip for anyone that is always upset not seeing their car in pictures or videos at events like these.

1. Do something unique: Wheels, Paint Job, Etc I know it's getting harder and harder to do something different when now weird and odd is the normal, and CCW classics are on every car, but do something you don't always see. (In a good way)

2. Be everywhere: With photographers and videographers coming out of the woodwork to try and capture their own experience you need to go to as many meets, as many events as possible. Increase the chances of the car being seen and you will increase the chances of pictures/video. Simple

I did see one other baby blue early westy mk1 down there, but admittedly I don't get much day time cruising in as I'm usually busy at the show both days.

[GTI2Slow]

IMHO stance is cheap and that's why its so prevalent with the younger crowd looking for a scene to settle into. All you need is cut/ebay springs and some wheels with a terrible offset and you are hella flush. Performance parts are costly and don't have the visual impact that attention seekers are after.

VW shows seemed to move away from performance and into a make specific stance-off, its not my scene and I am disappointed that there are not more performance oriented shows. I really dont plan to go back to H20, Waterfest seems okay still.

[BluMagic]

It explains a lot.

i hate you because it is not a honda

i hate you because you don't track your honda

i hate you because you don't track your honda as much as me

i hate you because you have a nicer honda

under 21

sounds about right

[jamerican1]

Thanx for posting the vid op. So mad I couldn't make it this year

I hate Honda Day. Your point is invalidated

[x_GTI_x]

lmao, I knew C4 A6 would be in here as soon as I saw it was VW related...

... had no idea it would be a 3 pg. intervention, TCL-style.








leaving satisfied.

Loved that video. I got a picture of BSaint Media doing the shoot of the old benz and the RS4. I'll post it up when I get home

Not much of the RS4 either because I didn't want to get in your way

[Mtl-Marc]

There is actually a good amount of non "slammed" Vw/audi packing some serious horsepower. Those cars are often getting as much if not more respect from the majority of the crowd down there. I had a buddy dow there with a MKII Gti VRT pushing 850hp and a mkIII 4 door Golf vrt pushing 450hp they got alot of love. There is also alot of classics mkI and mkII Vw's that looked very clean and classic that were not "stanced" the videos and photos will be mainly stanced cars becuase thats what the kids wanna see its a car show not a track day. But it is quite an eclectic mix of cars down there, I think most people would be suprised.

Exactly. Something for everybody.

Been going for years, this year was fantastic.

Nice bumping into you.

[BMP_3918]

^ omg those are clean!!

[TM87]

i like that you "rolled your eyes" to that post.

the fact of the matter is that you're an 18 y/o with the least fun life anyone would dream of.

someone bought you an ITR. you post on (probably various) forums acting like you're older than 18. you don't really know anything about the car world, let alone the real world.

you are a detriment to this forum. you contribute nothing. not one person respects what you have to say, whether it's serious, sarcastic, or in between.

your life sucks. you take it out on the internet. we all know it. end of story. go away.

I really assumed he was 26-30yrs old. Now I find out he is typing from moms basement and can't even drink legally
It makes all the sense in the world.

[TheDarkEnergist]

That was some pretty good work. That red RS4 is gorgeous. I'd love to have that.

[fahrfast]

I know this is TCL and stuff like this never does well, but I figured I'd leave it here, hopefully some will enjoy it.

So do i.

And to all people hating on C4 A6, you need to get a for yourself instead of keeping track of someone else's life on the internet.

And you guys are just a bunch of sour people who knows that you bought the wrong car. Not a single on of your cars would be able to hang with the ITR.

Where do I enroll for the C4 A6 fan club?

look, I am not going to post here and say the show isn't fun for some people or even why. but for those wondering, it has a VERY specific appeal. you have to accept the view that some people on this site will have of this type of thing.

on the surface, it just seems like an inordinate amount of spring break-ish behavior by people who should know better.

[euro+tuner]

I enjoyed the video

Steve, awesome vid as always. When did you move to FL? Shame we didn't meet up for a few brews.

[greyvdub]

Video was nice -- unfortunate that there isn't a good venue for the show any longer.

We are the idiots for affecting, quite literally, no one but ourselves? We weren't the idiots doing burnouts and drifting doing u-turns, we were just drinking at the house that was rented.

Yea but how many of you were there and how many of the idiots were there? Actually, it doesn't even matter. Even just a couple of asshats can ruin the image for the entire population. Just look at America.

Thanks Eddie, and I moved down this past Summer, the now wife got a job with the government and we decided why not, could use a new change of scenery and people. So far so good, if you find yourself down in SE Florida let me know we'll grab some drinks

Yeah, just look at what you are doing for the Honda community.

1,000 internet points for you sir.

I couldn't give 2 ****s about the Honda community. Those morons are just that, morons. It's not my fault that the ITR was made by Honda and desired by thieves.

Nice try though.

I'll go ahead and Honda to ITR for you though because I'm just that kind of guy. I still don't care what you think about us based off my actions. But you guys care what I think about you guys based off the actions of the others. Shame.
