If wisdom comes with age, that’s why we’re all a little wiser every day. Every passing hour gives us a little more insight into the world, allows our brains to grow a little further, and gives us hindsight to reflect on past decisions. our past with fresh eyes – fresh enough to say “God, I did that stupid thing. ”
Sometimes early decisions don’t match the cruel light of the present. Maybe you’ve modified a car in the style we now call “timely right,” with scissor doors and Pimp My Ridestyle screen. Maybe you Wanted a full turbocharger on your first-generation Hyundai Accent, but youth’s tight budget forces you to settle for the turbocharger whistle in the exhaust. We’ve all been there – this is where satisfactionnot judgment.
Back in my erroneous youth (as opposed to my current erroneous adulthood), I owned a Jeep Wrangler named after the Arctic Monkeys song. This alone may qualify as stupid, but I assure you it will get worse. As a child, grow up to see Smokey and the Bandit Too often and spending too much time on the Jeep forums, I decided that the Wrangler needed a CB radio. You know what all the cool kids did with their cars in 2014.
Unfortunately, I brought a free CB from a family friend – and importantly, didn’t test it in any way before installing it. Of course, dating electronics is never known for its weird problems and will never turn out to be constantly broadcasting and driving every truck driver on I-84 to a promotional playlist. Report your Evanescense, Halestorm and Pandora Radio. That would be unthinkable.
CB Radio might be my dumbest car mod, but what’s yours? Are you happy– drag an iPad to your dashboard as a radio upgrade, only to realize that your air conditioner is no longer working? Are you the guy who installed Impreza springs on the Legacy GT wagon I bought? Give your best and worst answers in the comments, so we can all enjoy the great decision-making power of our young collective.
