Funkmaster Flex

[Doug Zielke]

Does the big lug have any fans here?
Or is he just all "funked-up"?

I kinda enjoyed the segment with Shelby; except for Funk's poor driving and inability to keep his hands on the wheel of that Cobra.

I give him mad props for keepin it real!

I like him, he is truly enthusiastic about cars. He is also a vintage car lover.

Yeah, he's definately fo rizeal! I loved the segment with Caroll Shelby as well, it was funny when Flex was ending the scene and he's like "you only see this here, spike t.v., funk flex style, exclusive" and then it pans to Shelby and he just says "thank you" with a look on his face like WTF did this guy just say?

The piece with Wyclef was awesome as well, especially the part where they're hauling ass through the streets of Miami in the Mclaren F1.

Just saw the episode where he takes to the track at the Richard Petty Driving Experience. I think he's probably as good a driver as Richard's own son!

I love these shows... American Chopper, American Hot Rod, etc. My favorite at the moment is MTV's Pimp My Ride. They do some God awful stuff but they have the balls to do it!

I just watched the Funkmaster Flex show on the weekend where he buys a nasty old Starsky & Hutch 76 Torino. The car was trashed and he paid the seller $10G for it!!! More money than brains... still, he's a car guy and as much as I hate rap music, at least these guys are using their money wisely. At least the ones who don't have shark tanks in the back of their Hummers... ridiculous and probably not the greatest environment for the poor sharks.

I still don't get why he paid $10K for it when the dealer was only asking $8K. The car was very rough inside and out and I think they dropped a new motor in it and all new interior. They definitely dropped some serious cash in that car to get it cherry again.

I think they rebuilt the original engine from the car

'Cause he the man! Know what I'm say'in?

Maybe he felt he would pay $10 for it, since it was one of the real cars used in the TV series. Paperwork to back it up.Either that, or Spike TV flipped the extra $2 grand
