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.

I guess so people driving behind you can watch what you're watching? --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

I guess so people driving behind you can watch what you're watching? I agree. After all, it is MTV, and SUPPOSEDLY the channel is based around Music and Video, hence the excessive audio and visual equipment in the "pimped" rides. We would have to have a show called "Turbo/Supercharge/Force Induct My Ride!" and have the JDM guys (Jeff, Dan, Manny) as the hosts lol... |
