Muses on Making Automotive Music

June 2, 2011 by JunkFace · 2 Comments 

When I was just a boy, I desperately wanted to be a race car driver. Petrol was in my blood, and I was always running on E. When I finally got my first car, it wasn’t racey, fast or loud. It was an Isuzu Rodeo: yep, an SUV… I was not much of a boy racer. But that didn’t stop me from making it my own. Growing up in the expanses of the south, there was plenty of offroading opportunities. The Rodeo was pretty good at it too, but I knew it could be better. The first upgrade I made to it was a set of chrome nerf bars: http://www.autoanything.com/nerf-bars/10A50172.aspx

These gave my ride a clean step that not many other Rodeo’s had (most came with the factory running boards). A small suspension lift and some knobby tires also helped my 4×4 get over the bumps and stay out of the ditches: http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/10A50469.aspx

Power wise, the Rodeo was pretty well equiped. IIRC, the V6 put out somewhere around 210 horsepower. It didn’t weigh much, so when I needed a little power, it was readily on tap. Heck, there was even a “Power” button on the center console. That’s BMW M5 territory. But for good measure, I picked up a performance chip to improve the tune and fuel economy: http://www.autoanything.com/performance-chips/10A50207.aspx

Last but not lease, I added a Flowmaster exhaust system. This really opened up the V6 and gave me good boost in horsepower and torque. Not only that, but it sounded better too. No matter what you drive, I recommend an exhaust as they make the car so much more enjoyable to drive: http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts-mufflers/10A50209.aspx

All these parts made my vehicle mine. Whenever I saw it in a parking lot, there was no question who’s it was…. I instantly knew it was my ride. Accessories set your vehicle apart from the pack. Have you customized yours lately? What have you installed that makes you proud to drive it?

The British accent makes the commentary even better.  If you want to play this game on your own, you get 2 points for every kid you get wet. 5 extra points if their parents are standing next to them, 10 extra points if it’s their grand parents.

It’s kind of like the Slap Chop rap, but distinctly more British.
