No More Pimp My Ride?

[HiAmplidude 10+ year member]

Oh Unique Whips -- what a joke. Remember the one with the average joe young guy and his new 350Z, sitting in Will's office getting a quote?.. Will's like, "OK, so you want something nice and simple but sounds good. You don't want to spend too much, right... So you want the flip-out? You gotta' have the flip out. Yea? OK then.... Yea... What's that? How much for 3 subwoofers? You don't need 3. We'll hook you up nice with some JLs, don't worry, you only need 2 of them. How many amps you want? Nah, we can do it with this many. So now that we know exactly what it is that YOU want us to do to your car, let me just add this up".... .... 3.7 seconds pass... "That'll be $6000"....

Kid chokes and leaves and Will actually cracks a snotty insult joke about the guy to millions of viewers behind his back.

Nice. When I saw that segment, beer actually shot out of my nose.

gotta' admit though, as sucky as some of those shows (and installs) can be, they're drumming up a heluvalotta consumer interest in car audio/video upgrading. Can't be bad for the industry.

The best one was when the wheel guy got caught stealing rims and a CD player from the company van.

I wonder how long those kids had those pimped out cars before they were stolen. I couldnt get over that west coast customs put tv monitors on the corrolla's bumpers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just wanted to mention that on overhaulin ('69 Firebird Convertible) WCC was helping with the build. They made it very obvious that they don't "pimp" or do what they were associated with before.

Will Castro is a fat **** and a waste of life.

If I ever saw him around (the shop is 15min from my house), I'd punch that fat **** in the gut and beat the ever-loving shit out of him.

I hope someone shits on his face.

/end rant

Did anyone read the article? They are moving the show to discovery channel, and showing some of the high end installs they have actually done (if anyone has truly seen any of thier real installs, and not one where they have to show off all the shit for the sponscers)

The convertable 2 door 300c was SICK with the motorized amp rack that came up from the back.........some **** good work there.

They probably got sick of being looked at as a joke, and realized that it was time for bigger and better things

Oh my...this is going to be a production vehicle...

When they first started it wasnt that bad. But with each passing year it got worse and worse. So I am glad it is over.

X2 on overhaulin. There cars are something else. Chip Foose FTW!

Wish I could draw like that bitc h!
