I think we're just lucky to grow up in an era when your mom's grocery getter car could have had a 460 ci engine. My kids are 21 and 17 and they have some idea of what was around when I was 14 YO. Now most of the Detroit Iron is shaped like a turd and run like one as well. I would befriend these kids and it my just bridge the gap between our generations. How else are they going to learn? If a kid entered a Porsche Dealer and wanted to look under the car or sit in it, I would bet the sales staff would try to usher they off the floor in a hurry. If all you have been exposed to is a Boom Box, then that is what is important to you…

I think 10” sub-woofers belong with my 7.1 surround system and 1080i HD Screen, not my car…

 

I couldn't disagree more.......I LOVE having ultra nice stereos in my cars.......I still love to listen to REALLY loud music occasionally and I can't really do that in my home....I would be blasting out the neighbors or the family or the wife, etc......AND when I get home....I don't really sit around and just listen to music....always have something going on...but when I'm in my cars......well.....it's either quiet time....talking on the phone or listening to music/radio.....so my quality music time tends to always be in the car.

I was getting food for my kids and you know I can't keep up my girlish figure if I don't eat!

 

Okay smarty pants you win I am just a dumb trucker so cut me some slack!

 

I once had a younger boy ask me if "the holes in the side of my car caused it to go slower due to wind resistence"?


I told him to go running, while pinching his nostrils shut, and see if that helped him or not!! The look on his face was priceless.

 

All in good fun BG.

 

It's all good brother I was just kidding I am on my cell phone and can't post the big laughing face but it's there! HaHaHaHa!

 

while in idaho a woman asked me what year my carmen gia was ??? how do you spell carmengia >>>>>

My boss sat in my car one day and ask whether the loud exhaust note meant it was diesel.

 

I had the front hood open in a parking so I could get something from my bag. While I was there this hot little number stopped beside me and asked if I was having engine problems.....well, obviously not, but good times anyway!

 

Pharrell Williams has an Enzo and doesnt even know how much horsepower and torque it has.

 

i agreee.. i have meet kids who are 5-7 years old that know more then pp from 20-40 years old a bout the car....some pp are more into cars then others..

 

I think we have now established that the automotive challenged can be from any age group, sex or tax bracket. We just have to share our passion with them and hope they learn something!

 

Chris, I too enjoy my music and like the correct level of bass as the artist produced the piece. Why would one think they need three (3) 10 inch sub woofers in a cabin that has maybe 120 cubic feet? Only one word comes to mind and I would call that gutto. I also don't feel the need to make everyone around me listen to my music. In fact, it pretty much pisses me off when I am in traffic or sitting in my house and someone else’s' music is vibrating my rear view mirror, or my bottle of suds when I'm at home.

I may even take the stereo out of the car, I'm about to install a Europipe Stage 2 Loud and that is enough music for me when I'm driving.... Just kidding, I'll keep the stereo; I wouldn't know what to stick in the open hole.

I think I'm becoming my father and I feel like one of the old farts at work... 51 YO, .......must....think....younger......resist....res ist…

Cheers,
