Quick notes.
Dangerous balancing act between being an outcast and god.
Different than typical auto enthusiasts.
Trends are created by people who go out of their way and experience new things.
Trends die when too many people like it and do it.
New comers are attracted to the scene by the resent trends.
Tuners get the most satisfaction out of having the general public not understand or appreciate what they’ve done. A more outrageous something is to your mom, the more appealing it is to a tuner. Rat rods.
Mods that appeal to a typical person are shunned upon - wings, lights, hood scoops, they serve no other functionality than appealing to a person that brings their car to jiffy lube for an oil change.
