I MUST SAY THIS NOT A SOUTH V.S. NORTH TYPE CONFILCT
WE LOVE OUR SOCAL BUDDIES AND FRIENDS.
now this is us trying to get recognized for what he have going on
i mean thats why most shops move down south and most mag ads have socal cars
one of the reasons i modded my car was talk the talk and walk the walk. on how things were in s2ki in the past...all i heard is things are better now period! ! and nicer
so we continue

but to make a statement that s2ki was worse and folks were a lot less nicer compared to how it is now 
and biased.

more power to you on your quest and passion to get recognition but to make a statement that s2ki was worse and folks were a lot less nicer compared to how it is now and biased.
but to make a statement that s2ki was worse and folks were a lot less nicer compared to how it is now and biased.Thankfully, you (Ed), Joon, Chris, and Charles made me feel welcomed, but I often got the feeling that there was considerable dissent . . . About the time I was coming into the group there was a considerable amount of what seemed to be anger and resentment (for reasons that are still beyond me).
The thing about that anger and resentment, was that it was propogated by a few individuals. . . once again, over things that I (as a nOOb at the time) had no clue about. I knew it was a few folks talking
, but that's all it takes for the to spread. I kinda saw threw it, but it made a lot of folks (both newer and older members) shy away from participating. Fish N' Chips was "never as big as last year." Things were always "cooler last time." There wasn't a generally positive vibe. 
I also suspect that this is just the natural order of things. People grow up; and our priorities change. I suspect that some folks handled that core group's change better than others.
That said, there's a newer core group that honest-to-my-momma doesn't remember all the naysayers and complainers. The vibe is really good; people are taking initiative, and some great events have happend and continue to happen.

i think socal will always be better than norcal. because the industry is based down there. shops and manufactures are located down there. some people dont need to go to a shop to buy stuff. if you know the right people. you just go to the main wherehouse.
you look at shops like bulletproof, evasive, jhpusa. pm-distributing. all the shops and wherehouses are located in socal. its who you know also. not what you know. for our shops up here. its pretty weak.

The pacing and life in Nor Cal is much slower then that of Sol Cal. Also the poplulation is much larger in Sol Cal then Nor Cal which reflects in the way the car culture is, slightly slower paced and not as happening. So, I believe that the quantity of fixed up cars will not get to the level of Sol Cal. Its a simple mathematics kind of thing.
That said, I think what we have is very special culture of people that are tight knit and basically have fun together. We don't need to change a thing!
