Yes, for $20k I would have done a lot of things different too (half of which would not have gone into paying back some of my student loans).

I hope I speak decent English, considering I was born and raised in Southern California and was one of the best English students in my High School (college is a diff story :P).

Yea, I look like a FOB on TV - you try saying every line 10 times, 8 hours a day, on an empty stomach, not knowing how to act, and being all excited that you just go $20K for free.
Haha sorry if my words came across pretty harsh. You actually do speak pretty good English My question is why didn't you do anything different? Did you have to spend it so that the car would conform to the show's standards? That's a lot of money to throw around. IMHO I just feel that it could have been put to better use. But ultimately, if you "enjoy the ride," that is all that matters.

I also apologize if I was rude to anyone - it's kind of hard to keep cool when most of the stuff you read is negativity toward you - good thing a lot of members were very supportive.

*Big Hug* everyone makes up and is happy again.

Anyway, to answer your question, I basically had no say in what they did, nor did I design that car in the game (to answer someone else's question). I could only hope they got the hint I liked orange - hehehehehe. About half the stuff I said was true, half was scripted or extended from the truth, some out of delerium, and some just cuz I act like a big dork when I'm around X (i.e. "I want to make my car look pretty" - yes that was all me, I'm a big dork - you should have been there for some of the stuff we said that didn't make it to the final cut).

However, something they did do that I was completely STOKED about was the custom racing seats - I was thinking they'd just put in stock seats again - forever greatful for those.

Ok, I'm all good now. Back to normal threads like how Britney is XXXXXX .

MTV keeps showing it so there are going to be people who just saw it for the first time. I got to see the whole thing only about 3 or 4 days ago.

The car is growing on me more now. I guess because I've been playing NFS Underground 2 a whole lot(I love my G35c).

that thing is absolutely hideous. sorry, but i have no idea how he could have been excited about all that.

maybe he knows he can sell all that nonsense and fix up a real coupe.

Seeing that pimp my ride does nothing but cosmetic work, you'd think they'd have used some common sense and taste in the mods. oh well such is corporate america... x-box probably sponsored the whole thing, a bunch of geeks who know virtually nothing about car culture and what actually looks good. "oh he plays need for speed? (prob not, acutally, and esp. not in that car) make the car look like the videogame version"

too bad the car in the game is a hatch. and ugly as sin.
