It makes me a little sad.. I really dislike the A/V Stuff in cars.


The last incarnation is what i like.. All about performance in pure form.

Yeah, that reminds me of Pimp My Ride on MTV. Everything sounds good until they get to the electronics guy, and he says something like, ". . . and I'm gonna put a bank of 6 toasters in the trunk under Plexiglas. . .", and then I turn the channel.

I would rather have a stripped down car that can perform then a car so loaded down with A/V crap the only thing that you can "perform" is a good mimic of a live concert.

I believe they are made by simmons(sp?). They are either a AUS or NZ company.. They make really nice, but expensive wheels.

Exactly.. Well it looks like he decided to build his into a show car.. And the thing is, that is what show cars are about.


I just dont happen to like them.

Well not my cup of tea either, but alot of quality work went into it. To see a 1st gen made into a show car still makes me smile, even if I dont care for the way/style it was done in. Shows that these cars are truely timless.
