I think this was a topic of discussion at one time before, but I have really noticed the shear number of these irritants on the rise. The volume of modified (ie. pricey wheels, lowered suspension and nitrous injected) street imports here in Houston, Texas is on the rise. They are crawling out of every nook and cranny in this town.
Now I have to wonder...who told this younger generation that these cars were cool? Who? What teenager in their right mind finds anything attractive or suductive about these imports? Sure, some of these cars sound really nice after stuffing Mega $$ into their stereo systems (I have to give them that much - I enjoy music that sounds really good) and raspy 'tin-can' exhaust systems but, it seems to end there.
What about these cars and their body lines and shapes? They cannot, in my opinion, come remotely close to looking as hot and seductive as a well cared for brute force Chevelle. Maybe I am 'aging' myself at the ripe old age of 30. Maybe. Generations do come and go but I still don't see the logic behind some of these current street trends. "Where's the Beef?" I ask.
I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder these days. Besides, as our fearless president Hillary Clinton has so shamelessly said before, "It does take a village". Ahhh, the youth of today!
Thanks for taking this short journey through my thoughts - now let's hear yours. Based upon looks and overall beauty, why do you think pocket rockets are so quickly gaining in popularity?
