Poll question: What would be the ultimat challenge for West Coast Customs?

OK, You get want to challenge XZIBIT's homies at West Coast Customs to pimp out a craptastic ride. Which car do you pick?

A 1983 Renault Alliance?



A 1978 Renault Le Car



1972 AMC Gremlin



1984 Pontiac Fiero



1986 Plymouth Reliant



1988 Yugo



1982 Plymouth Horizon



1973 IHC Travelall



A Trabant



A BMW Isetta

1. My pick is the Yugo.

Just the looks on the faces of the guys when X drives the car in would be priceless.

Besides, the mental image of a Yugo with a Body kit ans spinner rims is amusing.

2. I gotta go with the Gremlin.

Especially after the classic Simpsons scene:

"Hey Otto! There's a Gremlin on the side of the bus!"

*Otto swerves the bus and hits Moleman driving an AMC Gremlin*

"Oh no! I just made my last payment!"

*car explodes*

I would love to see the Pimp My Ride guys try and attempt one of those!

5. They did do a Pacer IIRC.

They actually put shag carpeting in it.

I'd still love to see them do a Yugo.

3. How big of a screen could they fit in the Isetta?

That thing would look pretty cool tricked out.

[Telly Savalas]

4. Not so much a challenge...

but I'd like to see what they'd do with a beat up old eighties model Volvo 240. They're pretty damn cool cars to begin with, so it'd make a great canvas upon which they could paint a masterpiece. Maybe put an espresso machine in the trunk to satisfy the latté liberal that would be driving it.

6. HEY! My '82 Renault LeCar put up with a TREMENDOUS amount

of abuse. Shit, that thing was off its wheels catching air more than a lot of dune buggies!

[TheMightyFavog]

7. Yeah, but how long did it last?

Every person I know that owned a Renault was constantly taking it in to the shop.

[DS1]

8. Actually, I never had to take it to the shop

I learned how to clutchless shift with that car, went cart-bashing at night in the supermarket parking lots, took it over some badly designed intersections and caught all sorts of air ( that stopped one time when me and my other three friends who were in the car at the time smelled gasoline after one particularly violent impact/landing/whatever you want to call it).

I had it crushed. It's now a box, or melted down. I miss my LeCar. It's the only thing outside a convertible that lets you and three other friends drive down the highway standing up out of the enormous sunroof at 70 mph. With sunglasses on.

[HEyHEY]

9. The travellal would be extra easy to pimp out

[TheMightyFavog]

11. Yeah, how many monitors could you fit in that bad boy?

Problem is, you'd need to put in a whole new suspension. IHC's were not exactly bult for a comfortable ride.

10. Le Car. Removing the taint of lameness the name has left on the vehicle

could be a challenge unto itself.
