false starts: the volume enthusiasts
False starts on a long sidebar about the upcoming International Autosound Competition. A convention of people with tricked out rides bumping the funk in each and every one of their trunks to win the big tall trophy and the respect of other future owners of inner-ear implants.
Some are born to make beautiful music, others are born to play it. Among we the untalented are those not content to just listen. They too must make people listen with the only weapon at their disposal: volume.
Music fans have thousands of ways of expressing their devotion, from the fading concert shirt to the ill-advised Journey tattoo.
There comes a point in everyones life, when you decide whether it sounds fine or its just not loud enough. While most of us blissfully live by the limits put on us by factory-installed speakers, others have taken up the pursuit of seeing just how loud it can get.
