What is New Era? Not the hats... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

JonnydaJibba · 2006-08-18, 08:00 AM

I won't assume everybody knows what I'm talking about. The New Era I speak of is a club or a group or something of "car enthusiasts" that have the words NEW ERA vinyled on the side of their cars. That is all I know about it.

I also know these things:
-They drive fast most of the time
-They rev on me when I'm at gas stations
-They have A LOT of SRT-4s (good or bad however you see it)
-They rice out STi's

These are all very generalized statements as I know almost nothing about these dudes.

So, I just want to know, is New Era a company that sponsors cars? Is it a shop? Does New Era make parts? Why does it attract ricer-type younger males? I couldn't find any related websites (found neweraimports.com but that is a europe base business).

I'd probably take them seriously if they didn't always try to race me or rev on me or do blow bys. I don't want no beef! My car doesn't have enough hp's to start some beef!

*i am aware having a slow car and a carbon fiber hood can be considered rice. i'm sorry but don't care.

bye.

I'm pretty sure it's just a club of guys who have way too much disposable income and less than a full clue between the lot of them.

If I'm not mistaken, a few have shown up at autox.

And Jonny, technically your car came with a cf hood, so don't fret.

left footed whooten · 2006-08-18, 08:14 AM

Yeah, I've seen them. Generally asshats. I saw a fat chick driving the blue STI, and I've had the silverSTI push up on me an provide general asshattery on 395. I've also seen the neons, and I just wonder where they get cash for these cars for one, bacause they seem to all look like kids, taco bell managers, and those 'car clubs' who get rousted out of the downtown Dairy Queen parking lot on theweekends for loitering. I think they look stupid and act stupid. I do, however, want to know what their story is.....

Kevin M · 2006-08-18, 08:21 AM

You guys pretty much have it down. Local Street Ricer crew.

Dean · 2006-08-18, 08:21 AM

Classy little SECCS stickers vs. Big Vinyl New Era, what else is there to say?

left footed whooten · 2006-08-18, 08:25 AM

I used to see a blue neon SRT with a ghetto New Era sticker, crooked of course, a year or two ago in the Sands parking lot on my way to UNR every day. I wondered...was he a janitor or what?

MPREZIV · 2006-08-18, 09:51 AM

NEW ERA= A bunch of d*ck head street racers. I've met a few of them personally, and it was everything I had to not trounce on them...

Me: Hey dude, nice STI!

New Era Jerk: Psssh! Your shit's not even turboed!

Me: F*ck off then!

What's German for, "d'oh!"

Haven't a few shown up at autox? The ones that show up with groupies and make lots of noise like it's a party or something?

murphy · 2006-08-18, 10:54 AM

There is that new era "wanna be street racing crew" and there was a shop in town once upon a time called NEAC new era auto creations but they have since gone down the flusher. ...I had a personal run in with a few of them while riding my R6.....they reved when they were next to me and tried to get me to race..I just laughed at him and asked him if he was F*cking stupid when we were at a light.

Yeah I don't underfreakinstand it. The rev on anybody it seems like. If I wasn't against man-on-car violence I'd throw bricks at them.

Ezdno · 2006-08-18, 12:19 PM

I have seen about 4 of them in SV, White Neon, White, Silver and Blue STi's. Then always just wave at me, no revvin or nothing. I see there is a Red Neon in the parking lot at the Marine Recruiting Office by where I work.
But your right they are all just punk kids.

DARKSTI · 2006-08-18, 12:39 PM

I have had at least 2 of the SRT4's give me a flyby or get up right on my ass and do 100+ through heavy traffic.

Dude, you know we don't have the hp to tote bricks.

Subiedood05 · 2006-08-22, 07:34 AM

A friend of mine said that New Era is a pretty big club of asshats. He said he saw some New Era running around in AZ when he was down visiting his brother. I couldn't imagine putting that much crap on my car to be in a club.

rubberbiscuitt · 2006-08-22, 11:36 AM

when i was in az i built a roll bar in an mr2 for a guy that may have been in that new era thing. he had little stickers though. and the other guys that lived with him had those big stickers on their accords, and other hondas.
