Fully Sick Car Bro

After having a brief conversation with someone, they said they were in a 'fully sik car cuttin laps' and this just triggered this blog. This blog is my vent about all the douchebags out there with their 'fully sick car bro' and their behaviour, which has quite a direct correlation.

First off, this will appear offensive, and may even appear prejudice, and some of my friends might get pissed off but who cares. This is my opinion, and living in Australia gives me the freedom to express my views and opinions.

So what is a typical fully sick car bro? Usually one which contains excessive subwoofers, an often illegal exhaust, usually chrome rims, sometimes a custom paint job or decals (and should your back windscreen has the sticker "UNIT" or something of that kind, congratulations, you are officially a loser) and other small modifications which are pointless.

Why does one do it? Because girls think their car is hot? Perhaps, but I'd rather have a girl like me for my unique personality, than the car I drive. Most girls, not saying all girls, but most, who usually go on about some guys car, or only goes out with a guy with a fully sick car is shallow, and not the girl you would want to bring home. So what if you are dating a girl who just loves your fully sick car bro? Well it would be a pretty expensive relationship, because no doubt she wants you to drive everywhere, and sometimes just cut some laps brah. Due to your douchebaggy ways, your car probably chews up quite a lot of petrol also, so enjoy footing that bill. Oh and also your girlfriend's need for salad, water, rice crackers and big bug-eyed sunglasses. Yes I'm stereotyping, big whoop!

What else annoys me about this craze? It is just a big waste of money! Putting some subwoofers and lowering your car isn't going to increase the resale value of your car. I hope you realise that a brand new car's value can drop thousands of dollars as soon as you drive it out of the dealership. It is practically impossible to make a profit selling a car, unless you are shady as all hell. So why throw thousands of dollars into all these little modifications and features and not expect a return? Truth be told, when someone goes to buy a car, and see all these modifications, the first thing that should spring to mind is "Hmm, wonder if they flog the crap out this car?" 99% of the time, the car has been driven into the ground, so the value would be a lot less than intended.

Once again I am stereotyping here, but just about every fully sick car bro has a hoon driver. The people who drive these sorts of cars are usually the ones caught speeding, doing burnouts and all these other hoonish acts. They complain and sook about how police target them because of their car, well geez I wonder why, probably because a lot of accidents are caused by you douches.

Back on the money issue, why spend say $10k on modifying a car? This could be an extreme case, I don't know how much it actually costs, I just did a google and clicked on the first page. $10,000 could be a nice little deposit on a block of land, which can be a profitable investment, and a smart investment. Or that $10,000 could take someone on a nice holiday, or feed yourself for about 3.5 years, or pay rent for about 2 years or so. Yes most mods don't occur at once, you might slowly do it, like a $400 mod there, a $100 mod here, a $1,000 mod there, but why not put that money in a bank account and let interest build up? Or maybe buy some shares?

What is the purpose of having a fully sick car bro? Let's put your suped up 2005 Toyota Supra up against my 1998 Toyota Camry, stock standard baby, yeahhh! If we were to obey road rules, and had the same flow of traffic and all the other variables the same, we would get from Point A to Point B in the same amount of time. My camry is going to get me to where I want to go, no troubles, and I have a strong feeling police aren't going to bother me in my car. What is the point of having your car so lowered that you have to be having 1km/hr to go over normal size speed humps so you don't scrap your bumper? Or entering/exiting driveways, you would scrap the shizz out of it. There is a driveway that enters into a car park that is steep that even in my car when I go as slow as possible, there is a little scrap, so imagine that in a fully sick car bro.

Basically I'm asking the big questions. What is the point? Why spend all that money? Why do you do it? Some may argue that the point is to have a good car. Again, why? Sure if someone offered me a Lambo, I'd take it, but if someone offered me a Supra all done up, I wouldn't want it. This type of thing may be some people's interest, hobby and that, but I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

P.S. Driving down a main road with your windows down, music up excessively loud with some bassy black rapper music on doesn't make you look cool, it makes you look like a total douchebag wannabe cool-guy-but-end-up-looking-like-a-complete-loser
