[Shotimes] Pimp My Ride

[Shylo McKinsey]

I watched PMR on...um...the Canadian equivalency of
MTV this weekend while at the "West Edmonton Mall"
(some gawd 'awe'ful money trap...the gf dropped about
$1500...but she bought me a Red Wings Jersey...and let
me and my dad go to Hooters...twice...even gots my pic
with 5 of them...so I suppose it makes up for it a
bit) 

Back on track...I think PMR was on Much More Music or
whatever, anywho...Saturday night they redid a chick's
'65 Mustang Coupe. I was rather impressed. They put in
a chromed-up (of course) 289, painted it Caribbean
Blue (not sure if it was stock in '65 like it was on
me dad's '69 Mach), redid the interior with stock
seats (except for the headrests on the front seats and
the LCD in the ceiling. The only "bling" was the funky
wheels they put on her, but that pony didn't look too
bad...
