I was at a car shop getting my sound system upgraded (you know, box, amp, etc) and this kid 16 or so couldn't believe it was for me. He was sure it was for my son's car!...I said , No, it's for MY Scion Xb!...He said No way!!...I said , why not?..But you're too old, man !. . I Said, well, when you get a real job, get hitched, have kids, and then after it's all over, you have time and money for you to do the things you were not able to do before, then you will see what this is all about!
BTW , I'm 54 and feeling 20 !!

 

hey man your money - your life... live it to the fullest. i tottally respect that you do what ever you want. hopefully i will too in 20 years...

 

I don't think 54 is old though i'm only 28. You just don't see too many older guys in the car audio shops. The home audio yes but not usually the car audio.

 

I'll still be pimping out my "tuner" cars when I'm 50! Why the hell would I just buy a Buick and drive slow? You gotta have fun, enjoy life! I respect the old guys in scions, they know what's up!



-THE DON

 

you go pimp daddy! Besides I have seen 60 year old dudes upgrading thier stereo systems.

 

pimping aint easy....so keep pimp-pimping

 

ill be forever pimping....maybe..but thats great..your feeling 20..good for you

 

i can hear it now... "staying Alive" Bee gees Thumpin in the xB

 

The Bee Gee's rock! LOL

 

Actually, I was sitting in ScionSpecialistVegas's xB the other day groovin' to ZZ Top on his very clean sound system!

Bee Gees? Don't listen to that new stuff!

Actually us olde folks have many pimpin' options to try. Custom wheelchair lifts, on-board oxygen systems (like NOS, but for the driver!), golf club racks, etc.

ARRGH! White hair and Knuckles! I almost ran one over last week in the wife's pickup truck! This old lady couldn't see over the steering wheel and was looking thru the space between the top of the steering wheel and the dash! Then she started a converstation on a cell phone... and started to wander all over the road.

I HATE White Hair and Knuckes that flock to Tucson in the winter...

 

yeah my dad use to drive his 91 integra lowered with exausht and all that, people use to be like what the hell haha. more power to you. what stereo was it? i wish my wifes xb was mine, it has so much potential for a fatty system in there. and btw people still stare at my dad thinking it should be a kid driving his new car, a 1993 subaru svx haha

 

i know once i'm older i'll still be tuning , it's in my blood something fierce

 

hmmm My father is 59 and we are talking about modding his 2005 Subaru 2.5GT Limited.... 0-60 in the mid 5 second range is not enough for him and we are going to upgrade the sound system a bit too...and I am 38 and I am planning to heavily mod my XB.... especially the soundsystem which we hit hard.... hell I have to teach my 4yr old.... So I guess you never grow out of it

 

Hrm. My friend's father bought a Cadillac CTS-V and took it into the shop the second day to have a short shifter, cold air intake, borla exhaust, and coilover suspension installed.

Screw import tuning. One day, I'm going to be rich and then I'm going to buy a Lamborghini Gallardo. The first mod I'm going to do is put on some vertical doors. Hehe.

 

Kids just don't get it... Give 'em 30-40 years and they'll MAYBE get a clue. hehehe

A favorite quote that was on someone's door in college:

Youth is wasted on the young, sports cars on the old.

It's a lot more fun to work on a car cuz you want to instead of working on it cuz you HAVE to. Plus being able to afford mods is nice too. ;)

 

50 years old and most likely to have SRV blasting unless I happen to be in a mood for Indigenous.

My favorite youth statement is

We have enough youth. How about a Fountain of Smart.

 

Who gives flying pooop how old. It : does not matter. Hell if I am stuck in a wheel chair someday and 80 something I will find a way to put some kind of custom rims on it or I will put some kind of sound system on my walker

 

haha what would be even nicer is when I see and older Lady "pimpin" her car. yall talking bout your dads cars what are your moms driving?
a MILF in a pimped ride sounds nice to me.

 

You rock. You should get a drop and some rims put on it now. Take pics and get back to us.
