Unique Whips: A group of East coast customizers build cars for the Hollywood A-List. We'll admit to being a little intrigued about what Jennifer Lopez wanted to drive until we saw a listing for Yao Ming. Shouldn't he just take a cab?
Pinks: Using a flagman instead of a tree, dudes race each other for titles that were called pinks about 40 years ago. It's best two of three and you get to negotiate the jump. We're bummed that they didn't invite us. We'd be willing to trot out the Super Nova for this one, if we only knew where Matt King was hiding it.
Automotive Showcase: Apparently it will take the place of actually test driving a new car, or so they say.
Of course we have a few of our own that we need to pitch:
Beers! This one is obvious. We sit in the shop and sip a tasty beverage while nothing gets done. Brilliant!
Get to Work: We have to drive to work for an entire month using only one of our vehicles. No tow trucks or public transportation allowed.
The Monastery: We have to start and drive one of the Car Craft projects to work at dawn without waking up the neighbors!
Normal People: We have to convince girls that the chipped-paint Project Firebird and the yellow Disco Nova are actually cool cars and that they should be honored to ride in them. Winner gets a curious rash!
Can you beat these? We think not.-Doug Glad
'Edwin's left eye was about to explode from his cluster headaches during the production of this issue...Hooray for Imitrex.
'Subaru loosely translated means Pleiades, or the seven sisters named after the star cluster in the constellation of Taurus. Check the emblem on the grille for seven stars.
'Pinks is also the name of a perpetually crowded hot dog stand here in Los Angeles. Good dogs.
