at the hummbel start


At the start of the automotive revolution They really did not give a hoot about speed and padded seats like is what are in cars of today. Back in the day they were lucky to have maybe 1 or 5 hp in a gas engine. Most of the cars were wagons with a engine attached to the rear. Henry Ford was the first one to make the first car using a assembly line with the ford model A in 1927.

a problem in the modified auto world

For every one that likes to own there own custom Car, SUV, and Truck there is problems to owning the one off cars you like. Insurance like every other old or sporty car out there that can be a problem with modding your ride out they can be rather high or even there maybe some people that will not give you the Insurance you want Check this site out and see if your ride can be covered and how much it will cost: http://www.progressive.com/ this can tell you if Progressive insurance will cover your one off ride. If you make that one off ride out side of the country you live in then you will have to pay the importing fee that comes with the auto world no matter if you buy stock or modified Car, SUV, or Truck.

motorsports = heavy modified cars


There is no mistake that the motor sports cars can be the most modified cars around. No matter from street classes to full on race cars they have there own stile. From F1, D1, Nascar, drag racing, road racing on the weekends. If a car is made to race then there is something that has been changed on the car. There is a world around every motor sport out there blogs and forums that racers can post and brag about there cars and speed. Even the weekend racer has a one part that they are trying the get a jump over the other people in there class. The drag racing cars you see can be one off cars like the people that drive them. Here is a link to some one with a mustang that is racing on 17-inch drag radials, and is still can be driven on the streets. to read more about the mustang here is a link: http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/true-8-second-street-mustang-17s-387.html

Own modified style

No matter were you go no matter how hard you try you probably cant fint two cars the same. Every one has that one color that they like over them all. from stock cars to wild modified cars there is that one thing that makes it stand out in a group. A wing, that one off color combo, that sound from the exhaust or the radio, or even that one off engine parts that sets one car off from the others. There will be always no matter how many parts the compmay makes there will always in the modified car world be no look-a-likes. No matter what becomes of the cars there will be people willing to make the cars in to what the owner wants from paint to radio bass spekers, and even that one off rims to the one off wings.

Alternative fuels/ Hybird's

The world is getting in the the renewable source fuels. Hydrogen, bio-diesel, E85, and 1/2 normal engine 1/2 electric powered cars. How will this effect the world of custom cars. With the alternative modes of cars coming in to the fast lane with cars that they say can do 0-60 in 6 sec and can run off hydrogen and normal gas. Dose this mean the end of turbos and superchargers. I don't think so with the gas engine will still be there not as common as today also the people that put out the alternative fuels will want to faster and be more efficient. there is the hybird cars too that have a gas and electric cars that have that gas engine that leaves that change for people to use that turbo and supercharger.
