  • Summary

  • In this episode of Torque & Tuner: Car Culture Chronicles, host Eddie takes listeners on a trip down memory lane to explore the golden age of car culture — dating back to the early 2000s when car enthusiasts indulged in street racing and self-customized vehicles. He discusses the influence of cinematic hits like "The Fast and The Furious", which popularized high-speed vehicular action, and popular racing video games that allowed everyone to experience the thrill of the race. Eddie also reflects on popular rock music of that era, emblematic of this car culture revolution. Recalling a time when customization ruled and every vehicle, irrespective of make and model, could be tailored to the individual's taste, Eddie analyzes this era's communal feel and compares it to today's street racing scene. The episode concludes with a reflection on how the perceived essence of true street racing seems and the waning vibrancy of the car culture.
