There is this guy on my street who yesterday came over and asked if I could help him out.
The 92 Pontiac Grand Prix that he just bought a few days ago from a Buy here Pay here lot was stuck on the street. So I help him pull it to his house (his fathers house) and do some testing for him.
First off, I have owned some beater POS's in my life and this car ios on a level I have never seen before. 299,000 miles on it. Missing both outside door handles. No heat, no a/c. Have to leave the windows down in order to open the door, oh yea only the drivers side window works.
I ask him what he has to pay, it is $50 per week. I asked him for how long and he isn't sure (lol, probably for much longer than the car will last for) I asked him if he was working now, yup got a job 2 days a week as a dishwasher - makes $70 per week
Anyway he asked if I would run him to the autoparts store - fine I take him there. The whole time I have my system off but for some reason a few mins b4 I get him back to his house I turn it on.
of course he exclaims that he wants that in his car and what did he need to do. I nicely told him he should focus on getting his car in good running shape and then start with a small system and work his way up.
So dude just left my house, came over here asking if I got a box for 2 - 12's that he can have? I told him he should build one, he said he didn't have no wood (direct quote) He told me he was gonna get his car sounding like mine and once he found a box would I install it for him? I told him it was a lot more than that he needed good wire, amplifiers, a good head unit. He said why? Don't the 12's just hook up to the radio.
I guess so, I said. He finally left.
Yesterday he also told me I must have JVC speakers in my car cause those were the best ones you could buy.
