[Shotimes] Pimp My Ride

Wed, 3 Aug 2005 08:53:33 -0400

I caught that last one, when he said "...introduced in '89" I was like
"WHAT!" My wife had to like slap me to get me to calm down haha...
anyway, yeah, I saw how it was like tan under the hood. Didn't notice
the old-ass grill but I'm strictly a Gen2 man, I don't know crap about
gen1s. I was quite happy to see, though, that they didn't try to mess
with the body any. They restored it to pristine factory condition. But
*man*, they had that thing gutted to hell! That part was pretty funny.
Did anybody actually see what was in that chick's purse that she was so
embarrassed about? I have my ideas... .........(long awkward pause) but
I didn't see for sure.

Did anyone catch the inconsistancies?  Only a SHO nerd would catch them:

1) A black 89 taurus? - I thought only 89 SHOs were black.  When she
flips the hood up, you can see the repaint.

2) The car was in a minor front end collision, so the grill was replaced
with an 86-88 Taurus grill.

3) When Xibit (or whatever his name is) talks about the Taurus, he say
it was ahead of it's time when it was introduced in 1989.  He meant to
say 1986.

Anything else?

My son (6) and I like that show, but they only spend about 2 minutes on
the tear down & rebuild.  I also wonder how long the cars last on the
road afterwords.  At least my son can use "pimp" in a sentence now!
