Something i have always wondered

[Magilla]

Now i was watching pimp my ride and had a few questions

They take these beat to shit cars that down on there luck owners drive. Good idea, but they make them so horrible i would rather drive the old piece of shit. They see that the person beats the shit out of it so they throw 10,000 plus dollars worth of shit in these vehicles. But it is totally useless shit like t.v's in the bumpers, huge stereos that leave no room to sit in. They throw 100 t.v's in stupid accessories, gaudy paint jobs, horrible interiors, and completely useless stuff.

Now you see the people do not live in the best of area. I wonder how many peoples shit got stolen?

So 1 Is this publicity for the company that does it?
2 Who pays for it? Cause seriously if they did 30 cars with at minimum of 10,000 dollars thats 300,000 dollars minus the labor of the employees
3 Why are they in such horrible taste?
4 What happens to the vehicles after the owner gets them back?
5 How many of the people parted them out?

One of the better ones, it has a juice bar and a garden


horrible this one is for a 19 year old girl who is always bringing her mom to the hospital

also, do they do anything to the motors to make the shitboxes even the littlest bit reliable?

was thinking that but forgot it

I've only seen one where the engine was fawked. and they replaced the engine.

This also brings up questions on extreme home make over

Same idea people down on there luck with no money

Now they build these dope ass houses that increase these peoples value on houses. If they are so broke how are they going to pay the property taxes on them? How are they going to afford the electric bills? The heating bills? The insurance? and so on. I do feel bad for these people

Im building a turbo kit for a stroked Jeep 4.7 that will make around 650 whp in a Pacer for the owner of allthingsjeep.com Norm is spending big coin on this car. I don't get it, but he loves the car.

I watched them pimp out a perfectly good landcruiser - bling blang and I think they put an aquairum in the console between the seats. Everyone needs that, right?

I wouldn't watch, but its on at the bar occasionally when I'm there.

300,000 is a very very low guestimate.

But why can't they make appealing vehicles?

Idk all of their vehicles suck. If they get cars that have potential in there (like an old chevelle) they strap a sick engine under the hood no matter how the current one is, but they fuck up every aspect of the rest of it. I saw a truck get turned into a "tailgate monster" by adding a hydraulic lifting bed cap, that had grill under it, with 3 TVs and satellite TV, and a station with ketchup, mayo, and mustard that pumped onto your food for you. WEIRD.

Thanks for stating what already has been stated

uh they did that. They put a duramax in one. I think that was the coolest thing I saw on that gay show.

[THEPATRIOT]

Those cars are still rolling steamy piles of shit when their done.Just with many thousands of dollars in bolt ons.

[Riot]

They appeal to the people who own them. Shit, Ill take a fish tank in my car. The car better feed the little bastards, but i'd rock it.

Ive seen them just say this car is too big of a piece of shit, and then give them a new car, I'd rock that too.

I agree about the engines and shit. worth shit?
fuck it, i'd part it.

Hate that show and all the ones were the just add stereos and body kits and shit loads of t.v.'s fucking stupid.

I like to stick to the original of all those car improvement cause you deserve it shows, Overhaulin'. That show is awesome, cause these are guys with old muscle cars that really deserve it, and personally i like some of chip foose's stuff. I really like the fact that they always replace the drivetrain and give those cars a shit-ton of balls in the end and pretty killer looks. I don't think i've ever watched an episode of Overhaulin' I didn't like
