Your car or your transportation

When it comes to car tuning, more often then not there are two sides, and the line between them is very defined. On one side you have auto tuners, these people will always be able to look at a car and see ways to make it more personal and add to it so it will not be a stock car. On the other side you have your non-tuners. these people might buy a car with many options but once they buy it, it will stay in pretty much the same shape, size, and look stock until it finds a new owner.

Auto tuners are different from others in many ways. The way we can look at almost any car and see potential to make it our own, whether we buy it new and fully loaded or used with anywhere from a few minor problems to needing to be completely rebuilt. Some tuners don't even understand other tuners. If your into having a new car with all the newest and best options you may not understand why someone would buy an old car that needs major bodywork and a complete overhaul, and vice versa. But if you put these two people in the same room they will be able to talk cars and much more in a matter of minutes. Not only this but they will also understand each others want to not just own a car but truly make a car their own.

Non-tuners will buy a car with lots of options or very little its up to them. But these people will buy a car and do nothing more than just drive it, wash it, maintain it, and then resell it or get rid of it. Non-tuners will not get rims or buy aftermarket parts unless they are a cheaper alternative and replacement part that will not require them to make more changes to make it work. Non-tuners will buy a car that they can afford and maintain it as best they can but not look to personalize it or create something unique to them. If you put a non-tuner in the same room with a tuner the two will find it very hard to relate to each other about what they do and don't do to a car. For a non-tuner a lot of times the outlook of its a waste of money, and if it's not broke why change it or fix it are the way they look at automobiles.

This is not to say that the line is solid and can not be crossed or that an owner can't change their outlook on cars and go one way or the other. But for a lot of car owners you either buy a car to commute from point a to b and back or you buy a car and make it your car.
