Car Modifications even the Kids Would Love
Over the holiday weekend, I was spending some time with family and my cousin’s two sons were just crazy about cars the whole time. Soon, I found out why – they are really into the Disney Cars movie. I was a little surprised, because it’s been out for a while. (Aren’t kids today supposed to jump from one fad to another at lightning speed?) After watching the flick with them, I could see why it’s still their favorite: it showcases the glamour of cars – everything from revving up an engine to the shine of chrome - but it also humanizes the cars, turning them into such loveable characters. The creativity of it all even made me feel some appreciation toward my cars that I haven’t felt in a while (mostly due to being robbed at the pump these days).
Over dinner that night, we were joking that I should buy whitewall tires for my convertible. Of course, the kids insisted that although it would be an improvement, nothing could make it look as cool as a Ferrari (Yes, the movie has effectively brainwashed them into becoming Ferrari fans – ah, the power of product placement). The funniest thing about this whole story is that now I’m really looking into getting a new paint job and maybe even some custom wheels. This amazing selection of grant steering wheels also caught my eye. The car bug (no pun intended) seems to have bitten me, too.
