lol so I guess the owner of the PMR\'ed Maxima finally found out that his "pimpmobile" was really just too embarrassing to be seen in.

It\'s shite

I saw that one.. You should have seen the car before they did that to it. I think they put turntables and everything in it. Ungratefull bastard hah. They put like, 20k into that car for this dude.
-
Ah it want no "pussy Wagon" from Kill Bill !
:(...
NOW thats a CAR :D
-
little f*cker, they do the kid a HUGE favor and he turns around and sells the car. They should have a clause where you can\'t sell the car for 3-4 years.
-
yeah, thats kindof fugged up of him to do that shiat.
-
I always wondered if someone would end up doing that, they\'re makin tons of money of something they got for free. If people end up sellin it you know theyll cancel the show.
-
Yeah i always wondered if somebody would do that. That little shit. Perhaps he really needs the money and since he was too poor to get a new car in the first place, he needs to sell this. Sad really. and 18g? I can easily say that this is by far not the best PMR car but i think he could at least up the price a tad. I mean the novelty alone makes it worth quite a bit.
Oh well.... Moron.
This show always makes me want to get a beat up AE86 and have my cousin in cali hold it for me so they can pimp it. A dream come true i tell ya.
Not what i want it to look like but hey, free is free.

They do absolutely nothing with the engine so for the most part it\'s a kick ass stereo on a piece of shit engine.
And there is no way they can prep these bodies good enough to be show room quality. I guarantee you that these cars are good enough for TV, but that\'s about it.
Some of the crappiest cars on my show look like they have a freaking concourse finish on tv.

This man speaks the truth. Those cars are nothing but eye candy.
Shit, this one thats for sale has 150,000 miles on it.

I just want to know why they chose black + yellow??? He says he is to busy to use it\'s exstensive abilities...yea, right. Maybe he needs money for drugs...?

Tis true. Thats what i cant stand. They pimp the damn thing and it breaks rolling off the damn lot. Its a pretty crappy deal when you think about it. They just make the people feel good for a couple of minutes before they realise they are driving the same slow beat up piece of shit they came in with.
If i was on the show id say screw "pimping" it. Make it a monster on the streets and so it doesnt break down in the next 2 years.
Stupid MTV

:rolleyes:
They\'re putting in thousands of dollars, asking for nothing in return and you\'re complaining. Maybe they should just buy everyone new cars like that did for the one "unpimpable" episode.
-
They should do a show where they mod people\'s engines and not necessarily the exterior in extent.
-
^^^the Discovery or Spike channel does exactly that, called Hot Roddin or something. They trick people with old run down cars into thinking their car has been towed & impounded and work on it for a whole week. A week is a helluva long time so they have to get the person\'s friends/family in ot it.
They redo the entire body AND the engine block, as well as exhaust system, and other extras. Best part is I don\'t hear "Wheel department, what have you got for me?" "We gonna throw on the 20" Giovonnas..."
Edit- It\'s called Overhaulin\'

I\'ve seen a couple of them and outside of the hosts being absolutely awful, it\'s a good show. Chip Foose is freaking amazing. Dude can draw.
You ever see the credits? It\'s amazing how long their promotional consideration credits are. Like 30-40 people/companies.

um...!
At SEMA they had a car with monitors in the wheel wells and huge monitors under the car. They had mirrors all on the floor so you could see under thecar.
They had chicks in skirts all around the car.
They had drueling men all around the car looking at the mirrors to get a look at the chick\'s panties.

Why would they cancel it though? People still know that MTV made that car, just another person is driving it. Personally, I think if they make the car ugly you should be able to sell it.

Had to bump... Guy found Maxima.org and posted his car in the F/S section, again for $18 grand
The guys rip him to shreds :laughing:
