    Default automobile popularity

    You know i was just thinking, has anyone else noticed that there has been a lot of new shows pertaining to cars? It seems like a big explosion all of a sudden. Its like pimp my ride started a whole new tv channel. You got trick my truck, pimp my ride, over haulin, fast inc, unique whips the list goes on. Eh lot of new car shows.

    Yes, but those shows are very different from one another. Say overhaulin is 500% better than pimp my ride. Trick my truck is in the same boat as pimp my ride except on big Peterbilts and Volvos lol. Never seen Fast Inc. although I have seen Unique Whips and they are more for the rich people than anyone else. There are also shows on DiY that teach you "how to install your own ghini doors" or "putting on your own body kit" stuff like that.

    I like watching some shows. Overhaulin would have to be one of my favorite "modding" shows since they do some amazing shit and none of this rice...although they did do a civ, that wasnt my style, once and only once. I believe they stick to mostly american cars lol.

    they completely replaced the engine in the VW thing they were 'pimping' with a bigger turbo'd engine...

    Yeah, and they all pretty much suck. Overhaulin is the best. Unique Whips is a fucking joke. They don't do anything you couldn't get done at the HighFi Buys Buckhead location, and Bulter Tire.
