kids and their crappy tuners.

ALRIGHT! I know I just posted one, but here's another.

This is about : Kids and their crappy little "tuner" cars.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am definitely a part of the tuner generation. I want to get a good car, and trick it out. In all honesty, I want a Tiburon. I don't care that it's a Hyundai, I like it.

But, this isn't about me.

Lately, I've been seeing a ton of ghetto kids and their "tuners".

It's like no one even tries. I'm sick of seeing Civics with their Erect-A-Set wings on the back. I'm tired of the gay little flame stickers all over cars. They don't do anything to warrant the body parts their putting on.

"Oh dawg, I changed my intake and installed a muffler, I need a super huge wing and a body kit!"

No. You know what? The guy that owned my car was one of these idiots. Now, I don't have the wing or a body kit. But I do have an incredibly cheap and crappy aftermarket intake that was installed when I got it. And, I have a Borla muffler with a four-inch exhaust tip, also installed when I got the car.

You don't see me rushing out to put money into my car. It's just not a car I want to work on. Not worth it. I'll keep it running until I can afford a new one. Whatever my next car is, I do plan to get a much nicer one, with less than 75K miles, hopefully. That one, I will probably work on.

But I'll do it the right way.

Performance first. Your car has to have balls to back up whatever exterior mods you put on it. An intake and muffler don't qualify. It better have the intake, a FULL aftermarket exhaust (not just the muffler) and some other shit done. For me, I'll do the intake, exhaust, ECU, clutch and flywheel, and probably have the throttle body adjusted, if it's worth it. If I can afford it, sometime before the car reaches a point that I refuse to work on it, I'll even buy a turbo for it. But I'll do all that before I even think about a spoiler.

So you little thugs can drive your Civics, Integras, Neons, and Sentras. And whatever else you might be driving. Keep your intakes, mufflers, ridiculous wings, and your stupid little body kits. One day, I'll leave you sitting at the stoplight wondering why you wasted so much money trying to make your "whip" look cool instead of making it faster.
