Unique Whips
 

Is there anyone out there that actually thinks these guys do good work? Who would pay these guys to have a 300 lbs. dash board installed in a sports car? I don't know if I can talk about this without sneaking in some swearing . . . have these people no soul? Do they not know anything besides panel replacement and turning cars into fiberglass-laden tanks? How are they still in business?! And, on top of that, apparently making money? Phew. Had to get that off my chest . . .

Will can ghettoize an SLR! Some 24"s, some big subs, some tacky seat covers and a re-spray dashboard, and a big hug!

And he gets PAID for this! I ought to start "The Unique Dub-N-Donk Factory" here in Atlanta, I'd be rolling in no time!

I don't get it either.

Than again I don't understand jacking-up a 20-year old Caprice Classic so that you can fit 30" rims on it.

And some people can't get driving a 30 year old Nazi car. To each his own.

Cars are like women, we each have our own taste.

But I agree with you. Forget about the style of the car. The 'engineering' (and I use that term broadly) that goes into those things is sad.

Live and Let Live.

Does the "doo rag" come with the car?

How do they keep the pants from falling down, that's my question???:p

The show and the cars they do suck balls.

It cracks me up how the rip out a dash from a Lambo and set it up outside (no paint booth, just flies, dust and anything else that is blowing around) and then spray paint it canary yellow with Krylon cans from Home Depot.

Not in this case, thank you!:D

I like how they used the T wrench to tighten the lug nuts on Tony Stewart's Lambo.

Golly, could you pick and choose your pictures a little better to prove me wrong? :rolleyes:

Obviously that car is wrong, but there are some well made donks/SLABs out there, with real build quality. We don't understand them, and they don't understand us. Neither of the groups woulda understood my old offroad rig. BFD. It's all motorsports, and some of us need to get over our elitism.

Live and let die.

There was an episode last night with Vida something or other. Dannnnng I'd hit that twice. I felt bad the show sucked but I could not get the peepers off her. They were spray painting the interior trim parts and talking about the perfection of the work. That was laughable.

They are hacks, when they did Byron Leftwiche's Lincoln vert, when he got it back the top would go up, those clowns took the top motors out:eek:

There is a long list!!!

That Buick is more art than engineering. What the hell does one do with something like that, can it be driven, certainly not on the track. What does one have to pay to get a wheel and tire set-up like that? Has to be much more than the car is worth!!

I may be way to practical but I have a big problem putting more $$ into a car than can be recovered economically. Doesn't make a difference whether it's a Porsche or Buick, just doesn't make any sense, just my opinion.

Some whats?

OK. How's this?

Donk: . donk n. - Any POS late 80's or early 90's American heap (preferably an Impala) that has large enough wheels installed until it resembles (and rides and handles like) a Conestoga wagon. This is done so it sits up high enough so as to be at the same eye level as the Playas with real juice ridin in their Escalades. Adding in a bad candy paint job and Wal-Mart sub box completes the transformation.

With no money left over for necessary suspension and brake upgrades, the lifespan is limited to a few drug runs or the first Police chase, whichever occurs first.

e.g. That donk is fly and ridin high.

Slab: slab n. - Southern word for a pimped out g ride. Will usally have custom paint jobs, nice rims and a bangin system. Stands for "Slow Loud And Bangin".

e.g. homie#1:" Daaaaammmmnnn!! peep that SLAB creepin down the block!!" homie#2:" Damn that hoe clean than a muthafugka!"

Funny, around me, all of those cars are rusty heaps. They've usually welded in steel scraps to raise and immobilize the suspension.

you guys are a bunch of old farts :p

I don't dig it, but there's a butt for every seat.

As for "soul," how can you possibly find that on 4 wheels? Philistines. ;)

Vida Guerra, she fits with that show.

Umm, I'll take the after please. Last nite she filled out the jeans and shirt like watermelon smuggler. I would expect that many of the Hwood women have similar problems with thier clothes off. Heck, my butt looks 100 times worse than hers so I can't really speak.

I think they're ceiling fans...

I cracked up when they were spray painting the interior in the parking lot.
The quality of the work is worse than the bad taste, as my other pictures showed.

Only if the horn plays la cucaracha!

Actually, the horn sounds like this: "paaaaa-zu-zu, paaaaa-zu-zu, paaaaa-zu-zu" :)

No, how about the 6 cars at the bottom of this page?

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.

People are putting 17 and 18 in rims on their Carreras, and you woulda been laughed at and abused for doing that when they came out. Rollin' on 20s is the same thing. They can be done very nicely, and they can enhance the look of a long low car like the 70s/80s boats, or they can be hideous messes thrown together by some chump shop.

Anyways, isn't the 20/22/24 inch craze better than the gold 13 inch Dayton crazy? Come on...you gotta admit that they look better than the 100 spokes.

I'd be interested to see a chassis that was designed for the rims on that Buick. It'd be cool to see low to the ground in correct proportions.....though I'm sure the handling would suffer. :)

I don't get the whole ghetto/homeboy look but then I'm an old fart so who cares. I have neighbors my age who immediately pimped (22" chrome rims) their 4x4 SUVs. I still laugh silently when I see them.

What kills me about the UW show is the poor quality of work.

Ghetto...no other word comes to mind.

Call and ask for "Big Dog"

Man what a criminal waste of what is otherwise a perfectly good GM muscle car candidate. :(

I hope to christ that is only a t-type hood and not a 3.8 turbo under the hood.

Whomever said "Conestoga Wagon" about sumed it up. People pay for rims and don't have enough left to replace the rest . . . passed on I-285 last week by a 1980's Caprice with what I'd swear were 22" rims. He was traveling 80 mph in a straight line and up and down at the same time as though he'd used marshmallows and gummy bears as suspension upgrades . . .
