To be honest, I'm hearing more and more stories of police actually being nice to our kin, although all these stories tend to orbit around meet ups and what not. There isn't actually much driving going on when the police show up.
But my point is, less and less people are being persecuted for just OWNING a vehicle, and more police are targeting people who are ABUSING vehicles.
It's sad to say that only older people can curb the stereotype of hooning in these cars, that's saying that younger people (like myself) are already tagged with that label. I don't even own a working sports car, I drive a celica daily. Yet the moment I sit in something with a turbo, or rims, or that's a little low, the label is instantly stamped across my forehead, no matter of how I drive the thing.
We've tried in the past to get people together to try and slay this dragon, and sometimes it's worked, for about a day... There's always some hoon video on ACA or TT the very next night, wether it be a 3 year old top gear try out video or not. The fact is, the media gets more media attention then we ever will.
I would love to see some sort of gathering of older members to show the general public that it's not just children in these cars burning rubber, there's so much more to it then that.
Unfortunately though, I can't help. I'm too young to be taken seriously, and I can see why
