I'm sure they rival that goofy show car that Danny mentioned in ride quality.

I don't like Boyd Coddington's overpriced crap either.

The ONLY thing good about "Livin' The Low Life" is the host.

None of them are terrible looking, they all appear to have decent geometry and style put in, and they are not the laughable crap that you are insisting on showing to prove me wrong.
Still looking. Care to help? All I see are some crappy old cars with big goofy wheels.

What always amuses me is the quality of the CAR. A rusty old Buick Regal with a rattle can paint job and misfiring engine, sporting $8k in wheels and subs. For what they spent, they could have actually had something pretty decent.

Unique Whips is the WORST show on Speed and that's saying something because their programming really sucks.

+1 on Vida.

I'm not criticizing Unique Whips because of "elitism".

I criticize it because it is expensive, poor quality work that serves no purpose.

That hood bulge makes that Buick appear to be a 1986 Turbo-T. The sister car to the Grand National. Sorry to see it turned into a circus act.

Oops.. just saw Bills post 3 above. Good eye, Bill. I've owned my GN since 1996 and have seen a few with huge wheels that just wreck the appearance. I suppose fads change, but huge rims with rubberband tires are in bizzaroland for me.

I think she's gained a few pounds lately. She fits right in.

It's probably just the hood.

This is of course what a T-Type should look like:
