Kids These Days

Okay, I've been meaning to bring up a certain issue on my blog for quite some time now. The issue that I am speaking of deals with what I like to call "tricked out" cars. You know what I'm talking about here, cars with ground effects, spinners, hydraulics, loud ass speaker systems, and other unneeded accessories. People who have this shit have either, A) watched The Fast and the Furious one to many times, B) are rich fucks who have money to blow, or C) kids with no bills to pay, who can't think of a better use for their money.

Let me continue with the latter mentioned cateogry. The majority of "tricked out" cars have a teenager in the driver's seat. I was, just one week ago, a teenager myself, and I have never felt the desire to "trick out" my car. What is it that possesses young men, and sometimes young women, to blow their fucking money on this bullshit?

I know that I am in the minority here, but I can't seem to understand why you would want to spend your pay check on unnecessary things for your car. I can think of about three or four better ways to use my money, just off the top of my head. I would rather use my money to buy a hooker, buy the ChalkZone boxset, use it as toilet paper, or donate it to chairty. Wait, I did say better, so scratch of the chairty donation. I named three things, so my point remains valid.

Listen kiddies, someone please tell me what the car was originally designed for? Anyone, anyone? Bueller...Bueller...Bueller? Times up, the correct answer is, to provide a vehicle for people to travel to their destination. In other words, it gets you from point A to point B, as quickly and safely as possible. Nothing more, nothing less.

I often get into arguments with people over this topic. They usually tell me that they don't want their car to look like any old car. To that I say this, what the fuck do you mean? Do you have trouble finding your God damn car in the parking lot or something? Who cares if your car looks the same as another car of the same make and model. Use something else to differentiate your car from another, like maybe a bumper stickers that says "We Break For No One." Or how about some dice hanging off your rearview mirror? For you guys out their, how about some semen stains on the backseat? The possibilities are endless, without hitting your wallet.

I am a little fired up tonight, so I will shut my ass up now. I probably lost another reader because of this post, which means that I'm down to three readers. Maybe if I tricked out my car, people would think that I'm cool and then start reading my blog. Yeah, that is the ticket to coolness...I'll get a pimp hat and some sunglasses too. While I'm at it, I mine as well get a tattoo or possibly an eyebrow piercing... Would that really make me any cooler than I am now? I know that I am not the hippest person in the world, but fuck, I guess I just don't understand what is in these days....
