Monster Garage

My favorite car makeover show is Trick my Truck. Leave it to Country Music Television to find the most pathetic, deserving schleps on the planet, to get upgrades, on their trucks no less...


Monster Garage
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Pimp my ride is awful, but I do love what they do to the cars in overhauling.


Yo, we put a toaster in you hood, cause you said you love toast, yo! It even does bagels!

I was thinking of including Monster Garage and Horsepower TV and such, but they just do that stuff for the fuck of it. I like to see the reactions of the people that get cameras in their seats so they can monitor their hemorrhoids.
Why do I need 10 plasma TV's in my Geo Storm again?![]()


I have only real watched pimp my ride. I don't really like those shows. I'm not the biggest car enthusiest.
First Overhauling I watched this 17 year old kid was like off the charts awesome. I'm not exaggerating when I say the kid deserved the bump. A student, volunteer fire department/search and rescue, good all around guy. They acted like his truck was getting impounded for un-paid traffic tickets ... and the id never had a ticket ever. Anyway cool ass show, while pimp my ride is all fake ... as though the guy opening the door has no idea they're coming ahead of time.
pimp my ride is hilarious. they put tvs under some dudes car. i wud of took em out and put them in my house.

Lately I have seen this show on Speed. It brought back good memories. This is the best car makeover show ever.![]()

Foose is kind of nerd and i think he really wanted to be an artist but couldnt make it. Now he has to use his money he made selling wheels to showcase his art. They do alot of good muscle car builds though and I get a few ideas here and there.

Wheeler Dealers on Velocity is a little more down to earth and shows not only what someone can do on their own but how a small investment can net a great car with some work. All the others are totally unrealistic and funded by ads, no one can afford what is done unless you are ridiculously wealthy so it is great television sure, no rooted in reality though.

Pimp My Ride is my favorite. Not only was it one of the first if not the first, but instead of just fixing up cars, it lifts the human spirit and is funny.


Back when I had a paid subscription to TV aka living with my parents, I'd watch Pimp My Ride and a couple of others like Trucks! and PowerBlock. I thought Pimp My Ride was hilarious, ocassionally they'd make a vehicle worth having too.
I love getting high, I hate getting low, and I like to drive my truck down a muddy dirt road.
I'm a great believer in luck and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it.


Holy crap, I didn't realize that this thread came back from the dead.![]()
