why people who don't know me, hate me. RANT.

[standardcabspl]

im just gonna go head and say i been watching steave meades channel for a long time and been on hear for quite a while and all i can say is wow idk why people hate on internet forums and such or people who are in it or started it. people hate out of jelousy mostly for the things you do and/or have and to bring a forum that didnt start big to what it is now is absolutly a huge accomplishment and all i can do is respect that. from being here i have learned so much and still have so much more and the dedicated people on this forum that are their to help you from a simple post and not actually knowing you.. thats what makes this hobby and industry great(p.s. that actual work and craftman ship on the tahoe and lexus are insane i love the way they have went)

this is the guy who wants to "wipe the floor" with me next time he see's me - you shoulda seen the tantrum he threw when i called out his mommy and daddy buying his car, only AFTER he tried to shit on me for being 40 and just now getting a lexus yada yada - but ya, he is gonna open his mouth right to my face when he see's me BWAHahahaahha

[meade916]

REMEMBER, i DID NOT START THIS but i am happy to finish it. These are EXACTLY the type of fuckheads that talk shit and sometimes threaten me. BWAHAHahahahhaahah.....

pimply faced little 17yr old kids got the wisest fucking mouths. I am certain his mommy and daddy bought his car. He doesn't look like he even has a job at McDonalds. All hand outs from parents no doubt about it.

and not to diss on an IS250, i loved mine, but he really did act like he was the bee's knee's....the thread got locked when i told him i didn't realize he had a 250 as we were posting in the big-boys section LOL

I'm willing to bet he sleeps in one of these

i normally don't post pics of people like that but they were PUBLIC pictures and since he threatened me, i wanna see who the badass is who wants to fight me....i found out lol

Well this got away from what it started out as, but I still wanted to chime in a bit. My story is similar to a lot here that I have seen. I was into all of this stuff when I was a kid. Was inspired back then by a good friend that stuffed 12 Rockford 12's into an ESCORT on 4 punch 200's in one of the craziest walls I have seen to this day. When they demo'd it for us at the shop that installed it, the pavement shook and the rust-locked shop windows vibrated open like it was god himself opening them. I was hooked well before that, when he just had a pair of 12's in the hatch, but the shop experience burned car audio into my soul. Some people have stamps, coins, pottery - whatever. People are wired differently, but nothing gets to me like the way it feels when the bass drops. I was 16 when that happened and threw together a few sick (for THEIR time and MY budget) systems in the next couple of years, but it had to take a back seat when my girl got pregs when I was 18.

Fast forward 14 years and I come across this Tahoe on YT.... And the guy that owns it is showing me these ultra detailed videos of how someone like ME - with a limited budget can make my own shit that sweet if I put in some time and elbow grease, which I have PLENTY of. I just thought it was sooooo amazing that someone else took time out of their life to show ME - who he doesn't know from shit how do do these ridiculous things. Those videos got me hooked again. I spent many nights staying up watching the Tahoe videos and paying for it the next day at work lol. But it gave me my passion back. I thought I knew a little something when I was younger, but I now realize that my knowledge was the tip of an iceberg. I have learned so much from the videos and the forum and just want you to know man that for every piece of shit that hates on you for being what it is that THEY WANT TO BE, there are hundreds of people that feel the way I do - grateful that they stumbled onto the endless knowledge base that you have created. So from the bassheads on a budget - Thanks Steve for what you do, man - we appreciate it more than you can know. And I know it can be hard at times, but I think that you should try to let the hate not bother you so much. It's out there and always will be. Fuck those motherfuckers man - they are just jealous. It HAD to make you feel a little better when you saw what that Lexus guy looked like. LMAO. Take it easy bro.

thanks bro for taking the time to write all that.......same with others who did the same. I see you and i thank you.

or that kid on YT punching a car window lmao get a life!

[RE XXXV3]

The haters most likely dont see all of what steve has contributed - a plethora of knowledge and cool toys to name a few, they just saw the hoe and ask why it isnt walled and wonder how someone can be so famous when theres others like him who arent as well known (but really are), forming either jealousy and/or the wrong opinion that he doesnt deserve it. A few years ago when i heard he was doing big things with AA i and a lot of others, not haters, were like OK who is gilligan and what does he do? We just wanted to know "whys everyone talking about meade?", but he has proved his skills from the beginning and IMO this is still just the beginning. It doesnt matter what people say but when it comes to the forums it always works to be 100% nice when you dont want to be, not for others but for yourself, dont invest in anger or thats exactly what youll end up. This is the net tho, not real life. The net reminds me of the internet from grand theft auto. More famous, more bullshit. Look at the beebs. Dont actually look at the beebs ;-). Bizzare (D12) has a song called i wanna kill justin bieber. They made a video for it :-/. Do what the other celebs do, try to ignore it. Dramalamaudio isnt good but it isnt going to stop you.
