Doof doof doof!
This one is about a good mate of mine, real audiophile and heavily into his car stereos.

He had spent a good deal of time and money (equal to the GDP of a small country) on car audio equipment.
Being the meticulous bugger that he is, it took him several weeks to install, tune, and have his investment up and running to his liking.

One day he calls me on the mobile, voice quivering with excitement.

"Mate, I've finished it! I've bloody finished it! It sounds absolutely f'ing unbelievable! Listen!"

He then points his mobile phone in the general direction of his car, which is loaded with several 15 inch subs, about 4,000 watts of power and I'm sure is pumping out at least 150dB...none of which, I'm sorry to say, are able to make their way down the phone...at least not in a way which would do it any justice...

"Mate, *sob* isn't it amazing?!"

Is he the sort of person whose stereo system costs more than the old banger into which it is fitted?
If he likes his music, fair enough: I just hope he's not one of those people who wind their windows down and turn up the bass, in the mistaken assumption that other people will be able to "enjoy" his music too.

Unfortunately
He is.
The old banger in question was probably a fifth of the cost of the setup inside it.
Come to think of it, the security system he installed to keep said banger from getting nicked probably cost a little more than the car.

We were young and not too bright, and hey, chicks love bassheads...right?...erm...right?
