Nothing but
the truth
In every industry, myth-making is a powerful business: it’s all about selling the hype and building it into a tide of tsunami proportions, regardless of the facts to back it up. As long as the rest of the herd believes in it, you can expect success to arrive shortly in a big way. So really, the key is in getting it through to the right audience. Modification of cars should be an enjoyable pastime. And the so-called veterans who have had years of experimenting should be educating ‘newbies’ rather than pushing any agenda. Only with education can newcomers to the age old art of modification appreciate the mods for what they are, rather than only purchasing them based solely on what other claim is good without actually knowing what it does. And with a paradigm shift occurring, modification has moved into a whole new age. Modding is no longer just seen as something that makes you go faster, or even look flashy. It’s a lifestyle. We should not be too concerned about what the mods say about your lifestyle, but rather what is in your car. Ultimately, as we trudge forward on the path of owning a perfect car that is done up exactly the way we like, we should always remember that modding is for our personal enjoyment, and not a competition.
