It's not his money or his Gs but it's a waste of a perfectly good Gs that could have gone to someone who would care about their car. If you were just going to destroy a Gs why wouldn't you get a civic or something, it's just utterly retarded to destroy a nice car for that. On top of that the idiot is sitting in the car while playing it, lol.....Maybe he was hoping the bass would rattle his brain back into it's functioning state, lol.

I agree 100% with Macd, Chrispy and denut; it's a waste. IMHO, a car is supposed to have 3 functions; in no particular order.

either:
1. have a normal car with the necessary amenities to go from point A to point B
2. have a car with performance mods for more of a driving experience because it IS a car and you are supposed to drive it; some like to drive with more enthusiasm = faster.
3. have a car with show mods that makes the car asthetically pleasing to the eye AND guess what it can still go from point A to point B; however some choose not to.
4. or have a car that has a mix of all of the above.

I like enhanced sound systems but something like this is just dumb IMHO and I am entitled to an opinion without being called a HATER. I do not hate these people at all just the concept of my car is louder and sounds cleaner than yours is ridiculous only for ONE reason...because you can't drive the car while utilizing THIS mod! If it does this to sheet metal and glass, I can't imagine what the long term effects would be on the body; besides hearing loss...and it has NOTHING to do with age! Any other mod, anything, fancy lights with strobes, performance mods, show mods can all be UTILIZED WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING...some of it is illegal and some of it may get you into trouble/injured (speed) but it does NOT guarantee that these things will happen...drive around with bass like that (as if you were in the competition/show) and I guarantee that all the aforementioned would happen in due time. Plus you ruin your freakin' car in the matter of seconds!!!??? No good...it's overkill to the MAX. That's like saying I want to put $5K into my GS4 with heavy amounts of NOS, buy drag radials and run it on the track, I bet I will get a low 1/4 mile time but my engine and tranny will be TOAST as soon as I cross the finish./

...If someone chose to ride a Vespa then they did it for obvious economical reasons while travelling from pont A to point B (see my item #1). If someone chose to drive a Hayabusa then that too is for obvious reasons but for performance; neither party should be bastardized in these cases because they are both utilizing their vehicles for what they were intended for...drive (although at different degrees). Those glasses can't keep me out and as for the Haterade...I drink that stuff for breakfast. lol
