Nice hw collection

Quit being a bitch. Car meets are literally designed for carsoys to jack themselves off while looking at their own and others' cars. Brother of mine has a JDM tuner and goes to these every now and then, and honestly most people are stoked you think their car is worth taking a photo of.

>>4341026
mate, just go, i wouldn't even bother trying to mingle and chat to the owners or whatever, just quietly wander around with headphones in and take shots. there will be shit loads of other people taking pictures, so you won't stand out.

>>4341039
Anyone wearing headphones at a social event is definitely going to stand out, it sends a very weird message, like, you want to be present but in your own world? Kinda rude.

>>4341026
Most people will be just stoked for you to take interest in their car desu, just nod and say that is pretty cool or sum shit.

Offering to send them the photo after the event also helps

Don't be the headphones autist, they even look weird in anime cons and such lmao

Why does you not knowing anything about cars matter?

>>4341155
Well you might be right, what I mean is just cruise around and don't worry, a car meet certainly isn't an intimidating location to take photos. Its almost the opposite.

No one at car meets will be upset with you for not knowing about cars. It's only cringe when people feign knowledge about something they don't know anything about. If you don't pretend to be an expert no one will care. Most likely no one will say anything to you beyond "you wanna take a picture of the engine mate?" or something like that. I wouldn't worry about it.

>>4341503
I wanna add onto this. Car ppl LOVE talking about their cars and will gladly tell you which parts of the car are considered cool to other car people so that you may take pics of those. Dont be afraid to ask before you've ended up taking 37 pictures of alternators and brake boosters.
