Love the car-trade. Seems many take it on board. I chuckle.
It gets risible… 150 mpg with special carburettors, some widget holds the secret of eternal-youth and huge civilisations live under the sea.
You know the kind of thing:
Stickers = +5 hp
Spoilers = +10hp
Big-bore fart cannon = + 50hp
Black paint = +100hp
These are race parts, so they’re certain to be "good for my car”.
Add a few upgrades together and any car’s a 700bhp fire-breathing monster doing 70mpg. Women drag you from your car and beg for sex. Lest we forget the beard-brigade that’ll only buy main dealer oil. plugs, filters etc, and don’t get me started on snake-oil, braided-hoses and the myriad big brake-fallacies?
The more you spend, the more you lose.
Don't have me wrong - Few could truly blame the car-trade. They want to sell 'race-parts' and.... er, we willingly suck up this tripe.
