Cars That Go Boom

Am I the only one who remembers this song? Suddenly I want to build a mini-truck.

You are not. See also: DJ Magic Mike & Techmaster PEB...and Gucci Crew...and Luke. I grew up in South FL. E36 M3 is in my blood.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom. Were tigra and bunny and we like the boom.

I remember seeing my first minitrucks because of this video. I still love it.

I forgot that in the 80's the last thing a recording artist needed was talent.

I'm a closet bass head. Minitrucker as well.

Found this old photo of me mid build on the box in my '87 S-10 minitruck...

Techmaster PEB / DJ Magic Mike / pretty much anything from the 808 boom era.

???

And sadly we've seen nothing but a precipitous drop from the 80's until now.

I was just talking about this song with a coworker a couple days ago. I was too young and then too poor to have a mini truck, let alone a system. We used to go to the Truck runs (Car Shows specializing in mini trucks and such) in SoCal and Arizona every year. Truckin Magazine was the E36 M3! My buddies and I used to spend hours drawing up mini truck graphics and designs for their contests.

Okay. No. If you're gonna call that music, you guys have no taste.

Me? I was hoping the thread was about this song:

I've had that song on my iPod for years, but I'd never seen the video. It's exactly what I imagined, though.

BOOM!

Growing up we were too poor to have cable so I saw this video on "The Box"

The Box: Music Television that you control

This song pops in to my head every now and again and I start singing it.

At first I was like, cool, exploding cars, but I was wrong.

Then I was like, cool, music.

I was wrong again.

Must be too old.

I have that CD from the days when I was testing out the systems I'd help build in cars and minitrucks back in the day. It was part of a small collection of CDs of various genres that really pushed the systems to the limit. And yeah, I had custom air cooled VWs and minitrucks with boomin' sound systems, as well as a few other cars with hidden high end systems.

That 808 bass was the JAM for testing bass systems. I used it deep into the early 2000's.

Because everyone knows not a single album came out in the 80's that was anywhere near as good as everything made since.
