Pimp My Ride!

Who saw MTV's Pimp My Ride last night? The guy with the Dhaihatsu (sp?) box/ bus thing had first gen 12a alloy wheels on it, lol. As soon as I saw it, I was like, "Holy crap, he has my wheels!!"

Then he said with his other wheels his box topped out at 40 MPH, "but now with my Mazda RX-7 wheels I can get upo to 60 MPH"

LOL, I thought it was all funny. Anyone else catch this episode?

Those cars are really stupid looking. Who would want to drive a car that looks like a bus with only 50hp? They can just barely reach highway speed at full throttle. Not fun at all to drive. Its sad that we get a taste of that shitbox with the new Scion thats coming out. Its exactly like a Daihatsu.

actually the Scion box on wheels (xB) is pretty cool little car, a lot of interior room for its exterior dimension

nice little cars they are, IMO

Ok, the scion is a better car than the Daihatsu, but they are basically the same kind of car.
