Toyota Celica, Going to be on "Pimp My Ride" Options

[Celicav]

I was reading the USA Today today, and they had an article about the new season of the MTV show "Pimp My Ride". Apparently, the garage they use on the show is moving from West Coast Customs to some huge ass Ford dealership in San Bernadino, CA. It is like the largest selling Ford dealership in the country, and they have been customizing cars for decades too. Some of the current cast will be on the new season too, including "Mad Mike".

ANYWAY, they mentioned that one of the episodes will involve a "vintage" Toyota Celica (I'm guessing 1st or 2nd Gen) and that they had to go through three rebuilt engines and two rebuilt transmissions before they could get the car going right. So, I guess, stay tuned for when that episode comes on!

I think the guys on the show have a lot of talent, but the amount of audio and visual equipment put into the cars is sometimes SOOOOOO excessive. I mean who really needs 5 19" monitors and 12 woofers in their truck??? I mean the rides end up weighing twice as much when they are all done, then you are doing 0-60 in like 15 plus seconds and worry by the minute about someone stealing your Circuit City on wheels. If they had my car, I would just tell them to make it lighter and faster and bad ass looking.

pssh! like they'll listen. the name of the show isn't "make my car GOOD" it's "pimp my ride" and every good pimp puts way too much money put into useless things only to brag about how much money they have..... one example of a worthless thing I have actually seen is T.V. monitors in the back of the headrests of the BACK seats! I guess so people driving behind you can watch what you're watching?
