Welcome to Another Edition of 'Pimp My Hoopty'

| | Comments (0)

In today's episode, we're going to address an extremely important aspect of automotive performance: what your ride sounds like. You obviously noticed by now that the coffee can you welded onto your muffler makes your car sound almost exactly like a high-powered sports car. But what if almost isn't good enough? Well, the good folks at VroomBox have gotcha covered.

Yes, for the low low price of One Hundred and Sixty Dollars (that's 1.6 Benjamins for the math pimps out there) you can buy a box that connects to both your ignition coil and your vacuum line (special rodent wheel speed sensor extra). Advanced Hooptytronics™ detect the rpm your struggling pinto wing-laden civic fly ride is revving at and play your choice of bangin' engine sounds through a special set of speakers under your car, loud enough for you and everyone within five feet to hear. Now that's livin' large!

Downsides include the price, which does not include the speakers or amplifier (which surely your local swap meet or pawn shop can provide), and the inexplicable lack of a 'Star Trek Warp Drive' setting. That said, this is definitely the sort of mod that will turn that '73 Vega into, well, a '73 Vega that plays tinny pre-recorded engine sounds from somewhere under the chassis.
