Marcus and his 2007 Robocop Whip...

Apr 26, 2010

Like Benetria's car, I'm not a fan of the Pontiac Grand Prix, but I loved what Marcus did to it. For a minute, I forgot it was a Grand Prix. He transformed it, and made a Prix interesting. If you look at the front end, it looks like a factory Prix but with some rims on it. But then.... Once you work your way to the back, it looks like a totally different vehicle. He took the door off like it was nothing. Speakers are still attached to the door. Look at the detail... Bananas. I'm telling you, the Panhandle loves themselves some Dub Wheels... His Prix is sitting on 24s. Let's step inside. It's customized but it's still factory, and most importantly, it's clean. He left it, but he changed a few things. I see a navigational system, TV in the headliner. He left the seats as is, but it fits. Even though the speaker look like it has been chipped, it's okay. That's why you don't let just anyone ride with you, especially if they ain't use to nothing. The amps were hidden by the backseats, but he wanted to show it off, and who can blame him. And he had the Robocop comic books on the back window ledge. The sun did get to the covers though... Listen to what Marcus has to say.... And I'm anxious to see what else he's gonna do to it. And I told him to bring it up to Atlanta for some car shows here. This could make a lot of noise in Nopi...

Benetria and her Donk...

Apr 20, 2010

... As in car, get your mind out of the gutter.



Like I said in a previous post, I went to the 2010 King of Kingz Easter Car Show. I was a little frustrated because of the messiness in the customization of the cars. The first car I saw that I loved, was an 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic, owned by Florida's Own, Benetria.

With how my mind works with customized cars, I don't have to like a particular vehicle. But I can always love what a person does to a vehicle. I'm not into the whole Donk, Box, and Bubble Cars, but if a person puts a lot of love and creativity into it, I will love it and feature it.



I liked it because it was well put together, and it was clean... Nothing was cracked, torn, or frayed.



Pink Candy coated Paint (I'm a sucker for some candy coated paint. It could be puke green and I love it), Lambo Doors, and 24 inch Dub Wheels (South GA/North FL Favorite), the grille looks like it's the original grille, but they re-chromed it.



Let's Step Inside...



Candy Coated Dashboard, Reconstructed steering wheel, TVs in the visors with the outside part of the visor matching the paint, matching pink floormats, gray leather seats with pink piping and inserts with "Hood Rich" stitched into the headrests.





32 inch TV on the passenger side with Playstation 3, iPod connection, complete audio system, TVs coming out the headliner.



Look at the doors: There's no glue anywhere in sight.



I wished that they would have continued the candy coated accents to the trunk around the system. Honestly, that would have completed the vehicle. I know, I'm picky. But watch the interview.



I like it.

Recapping 2010 King of Kingz Easter Car Show

Apr 13, 2010

Instead of spending Easter like most people, I decided to haul the Envoy down 75 to Valdosta for the annual King of Kingz Easter Car Show. This was my first time going to Valdosta and I like going to places I’ve never been to before. The worst part of the show was the HEAT. I’m not built for hot weather and being sweaty.

I love to see the different creativity of a different area. I lived in Atlanta for almost three years, so I know the creativity there. I tragically lived in Savannah for 4.5 years and seen the “creativity” there. I’m hard on Savannah, because I lived there and you deserve it. So when you go to a different area, it’s fun, cause you get to see their style.

Now at this car show, I saw two vehicles that made my eyes twinkle. Two cars that I would never drive, but I loved what they did to their cars, they didn’t hold anything back, so I’m giving them each their own post.

But I’m gonna tear the cars apart right now…



The one thing that I noticed and I wanted to scream was the sloppiness of some of the vehicles. I shouldn’t see glue or frayed fabric. Example, this Box Chevy with the Dior fabric. Still had the Dub tires, custom interior and paint job, speakers in the oddest places… But look at this photo:



LOOK AT THE FRAYED FABRIC!!! All you’se need is a pair of scissors to clean it up.




I would have counted this vehicle in my top two, but they could have taken it off of the trailer/tow thingy. If I can drive from Atlanta to Valdosta, alone, and in the heat, surely you can put the car on the ground. I loved how the doors did a 290. (If the doors did a 360, then it would have went in a complete circle), 8 speakers in one door, custom paint job, still loving those Dub Wheels, TVs where the dashboard would be, and more speakers than I have fingers and toes.




I loved this Box Chevy with the shade of Blue, the cartoon doggies painted on it, how they rebelled and didn’t use Dub Wheels. But my love died when I saw the interior.



I should have done some close-ups with the dried glue around the speakers. I would have suggested an episode of Unique Whips or any customizing show for them to know that you don’t use glue, you use a staple gun so it’ll last.

There were some cars that should have been in the show, and not in the parking lot, like these three, but what can you do.





I had fun at the King Of Kingz Car Show, and I will be back in 2011. But for more photos, head to 2010 King of Kingz Car Show Gallery
