MTV Can Go Pimp Themselves!
West Coast Customs is done Simple Green’ing engines on MTV. Ryan Friedlinghause, owner of WCC, complains that they aren’t being taken serious or getting any new customers. I don’t think it has anything to with the fact they’ve whored themselves out for teenie boppers for two years.
Wow! A 1986 Ford Taurus rollin’ on bling’d out 16’s, painted some piss colored metalic gold with 13 plasma screens in the trunk, a 100 pound stainless steel spoiler on the trunk lid and a scoop on the roof. Then rip out the back seats to install a 200 gallon aquarium just because the 16 year old owner who hasn’t even thought about college, let alone a major, likes turtles.
Plus all that, all the other shows seem to do twice as much work in half the time. The 30 minute ‘Pimp My Ride’ show allows 2 weeks to complete the car. Most of the other 1 hour shows do all the work in 7 days.
I saw the WCC crew make a guest apperance on Overhaulin’ the night. They helped Foose out with a ‘68 Firedbird. When I say helped, I mean, they painted the car for Foose. One color, with a “Foose Fade”, which is a tone or two darker shade along the base of the car.
WCC is supposed to be getting there own Discovery show soon. “American Pimpers”?
Ariel Atom
Found a clip on the internet here about the Ariel Atom. At first I just thought it was another slapped together homemade go-kart thats trying to pass off as a new car idea. It’s power/weight ratio is just bad ass, mainly cause they left off the Type [b][color=red]R[/color][/b] badge.

Ambulance Drivers
This HAS got to be the most cake job it the world. You get to drive as fast as you want to plus you have a siren and lights telling everyone to get the fuck out of your way. I think you have to be a medic, or maybe just look at blood, also so that job isn’t for me.
Today this ambulance comes up behind us. Us, being everyone at the light. I’m turning left and there are three cars ahead of me. In the next lane, the passing lane, there are three cars. In the slow lane there are four cars. and the final lane is the empty right turn lane. The ambulance comes straight up the middle in the passing and slow lane and sits there. Waiting for everyone to “part the seas”. Is it me or could that ambulance gone down and around threw the right turn lane? I think everyone else at that light thought the same thing I did becuase no one moved for five seconds after the ambulance stopped.
So, does this make the driver a moron for not weaving through traffic as is stated in his job description or was he having too much fun? Like when you swerve in to a large puddle just to see the splash.
Personalized Plates
I saw this plate the other night. I was shocked and appalled this this old lady, 45-50ish, was allowed to own and display it. It read, “BI TCHR” on a Chesapeake Bay themed plate. I don’t know if she’s a sexually confused teacher or just more bitchier then any other old person because of the crabs in her sea weed.
Unleash The Power!
Saw this on that famous internetting thing. Thought it was quiet humorous, so now I’m sharing with everyone here.
