why is it that people see all modified cars as being "boy racers" and think they all drive saxo's?
i know this may seem pathetic but, as a modified car enthusiast, its really starting to bug me. I've seen a few posts on here recently that refer to modified car owners as "chavs" and "yoofs" (or as i like to say "YOUTHS") and all of them driving saxo's!
Im 21, i love my modified cars. I drive an Omega and yes it is modified. no i DO NOT sit in a car park attempting to drift or do burn outs in attempt that the opposite sex my find me slightly "cool".
let me put it this way, a local car club here, Dorset Scoobys, mainly consist of members that are 30+ (from what i have seen, it may not be the case the people i hav seen hav their kids with them)
They have flamers on their exhausts and loud sound systems. I have seen more people in that age group act more of a T*** on the roads than i have young drivers. (i AM NOT refering to anyone from Dorset Scoobys)
Why is there a generalisation of "look a modified car, the owner must be a chav"?
Im not a "chav", i dont try to impress the opposite sex with how loud my car is, or how "cool" it looks.
My car does have a loud exhaust, but i like the sound of it. My car has a cold air feed a. to give my car a little bit more go and b. i like how it sounds. i have a fairly loud sound system because i like my music and love bass. At the moment i am currently doing a lighting install on my car to draw attention to other enthusiasts, mainly to do with my work but, its different.
MOST people modify their car to make them different to others. mines going to hav so many LED's on it, it will be hard to look at.
So basicly, i am fed up with people saying young people driving modified cars are "chavs" and instantly assume they will or have been in many crashes, will sit in car parks acting like T***s
Yes there are some that are the above, and its the very few minority that have given the rest of us this absolute utter bs image because they feel the need to be cool and try to impress the opposite sex.
rant over, feel better now
feel free to have your say on this
