Next time you are sitting at a light, look at the eyes of the person next to you, I bet you see contempt, not envy.

If you have something serious under the hood that will actually give you some horse power, and it happens to be loud, thats cool. But people having wimpy little 4 bangers with loud pipes is just annoying. Same with those spinner wheels, annoying! Or neon lights under the car. Annoying!!! The only flash I like in my vehicles is my sound system.

If your going to spend money on improvements, then improve it! Make it go faster! Not just louder! All your doing is calling attention to yourself so it makes the cops want to pull you over. A sleeper car is cool, one that is fast as hell, but no one has a clue it can blow your doors off.

Same with computers, why spend all that cash on the flash, when you can spend it to make it run better.

Computer manufactures love you flashy people, same as the auto parts guys do. They can make you want something so bad that you will spend big cash on something that does nothing to improve performance.

If you have a nitrous system on your car, or a supercharger, then I will be impressed.

Flash is for pimps!
Well said. I look at both situations from the exact same angle as yourself.
