Around the late 20's mafia members and gangsters began modifying their Fords and Studebakers in hopes that they could shake any of the fuzz who pursued them.  Slowly but surely these same gangsters and there suuped-up cars lead to the eventually existence of both hot rodding and stock car racing.  During the later half of the 20th century countless teenagers took up this hot rodding hobby and passionately poured both time and money into powering up their Bel-Airs, Challengers, Thunderbirds, and the multitude of other cars. 

   It's almost funny to think about the uncanny parellel between this lifestyle and PC building.  In a sense, a customized PC is nothing more than a customized car...basically a hot rod.  Perhaps the wrenches and rags have been replaced with tiny screwdrivers and anti-static wrist guards but the basic premise is undoubtely still there: Creating something that is completely yours, something that is a testament to your devotion to your machine, and an expressive piece of art describing your inner-most passions. 

   Todays teens have evolved from the former lifestyles of their rebellious leather jacket wearing parents covered in engine oil and created a new but obviously related clique of upgrading, case modding gamers content to use a can of Dust-Off instead of a pressure gauge.   LAN UP FELLA'S!
