p.s. just so you are aware of how flawed your logic is… you started by grouping car audio in with neon, body kits and wings on hoods… So you feel that audio is simply an addition to the car, when in fact it is not since I feel it is safe to say your 240 came stock with a radio, (if it did not then you sir have one of a kind) then it is obvious that your stock car stereo is every bit apart of your car as say a seat, or a window or even (and this is a long shot…) your exhaust.
Now some people feel that the equipment that came stock on their car is simply all they need and they see no reason to change that, others feel that this is not enough so they install what they feel are upgrades, such as suspension, exhaust, wheels etc. Some people see this modifying as ridiculous and useless, others see it as a passion and enjoy it. Forget about a car audio section, but simply in general you seem to assume anyone with a “loud” (I don’t know what you think loud is… but ya) stereo is a nuisance and thus you make claims about how it makes someone a ricer… reality check… a 240sx is not the next civic… the reason you say this is because the honda civic has been purchased widespread and modified to a spec that you and many other see as tasteless and a waste of money, in case you were not aware people share the same view on the 240 when it has what they see as “tasteless mods”… and if you are going to insult someone’s interest’s than please take you 0.02 cents and pay for grammar lessons.
