holy crap....wait til you see this "ride"....

i have been doing big car audio for many many years, and to this day this is the most ridiculous car i have been asked to build a system in....period.
i will have many pics of this abomination over the next few weeks as i am squeezing about $11,000 worth of boom into it.
the suspension work is kinda nutty, and i wouldn't drive this thing on the street if i was paid tenfold what the guy is spending on it........best i can tell is the suspension only has about 2" of travel with the 28" wheels, any more travel and the tires will probably launch the chassis when they contact it

teaser pic of the death machine......

Any vehicle that can go boom boom boom is a POS IMO.

I drive through the "hood" every day to reach my shop. There are Hummers, Escalades, Mercedes, Jags (and "Donks" as pictured above) in at least one driveway (or more) on every block.

Think about it...you have no rent (Mamma pays that), no expenses, no entertainment costs (it doesn't cost anything to stand in front of the liquor store every night) and have a $10/hr. job in a warehouse stacking boxes. You can afford pretty much any car you want, no?

Drive I-95 in Dade county... you'll see these.

They have commercials here where they show a guy who can't score chicks, but then he RENTS rims for his ride and gets laid. Awesome!

Just so you all know...... you can rent those blingy wheels, or the most popular way is to finance them, yes you heard right, finance them. A lot of places out here in Oakland also advertise that for a monthly fee "rent" you can swap different style wheels any time you want, a different set of wheels each week,

mind bending stupidity

WOW...my buddy had two 12W7s with 2 Orion 1600D monos in his Grand Prix and it was mind crushingly loud. Literally we could knock pictures off the wall while driving down the street.

When you're hustlin rocks to smoked out clucks, and $10 lines to rich white kids at parties, it's pretty damn easy to afford $4K rims for your "whip." Sometimes I wish I had less morals, didn't care about getting arrested, and didn't have plans of higher education. I'd totally sling rocks all day...pays better than almost any job I'm likely to get.

What's the point? Oh, right...no-one looks twice at a backward hat wearing, tattooed/pierced sub-primate IQ'ed dufus who couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful of $100's...stereo is necessary to get that 2nd look.
