Dammit. I'm too old for it.
I did try out for a Casting call a couple of years ago where it involved the Dodge Neon SRT-4. They were going to train you in a race school then put you up for a race against other contestants with a celebrity partner. The prize was a new SRT-4. I never did hear what happened with that. I take it may have been a failure.

Hm... maybe I should send in my story of "I'm too ****ing poor to keep modding my car, get me a friggin job that allows me to work more than I currently do and pays more than the $7/hr I get, then we'll talk about the crazy crap I do to my car."
edit: Yes, this all stems from my utter pissed-offness at having only 2 shifts next week... 11hrs! $77 for a WEEK, before taxes! Not to mention that they take my uniform out of my first paycheck (this weeks plus this coming weeks, paid every other week), which will make that total so low it hurts.

Here is my email.
Name: Bud
Age: Probably not cool enough for your demographics. (Beyond the age parameters that MTV has set)
Hometown: Indianapolis, Indiana
Do you feel the need for speed? Who doesn’t? Even that chick in the Honda Civic on I-465 weaving in and out of traffic at 80mph with her cell phone surgically attached to her ear has the "Need For Speed." You know you are going to get about 1million emails about kids that throw a $500 Nitrous system into a Hyundai and didn’t spring for the Stage 2 kit? I can tell you what is going to happen when send your camera crew out to video tape this monstrosity. Johnny fires up the Hyundai, takes off in a blaze of glory; hits the 100shot of Nitrous and Bam! Johnny’s crank is permanently imbedded in the road and the piston lands in Mrs. Smith's living room, nearly killing her 5-year-old grandson.
Do you love the Fast and the Furious?
If you think that F&F and 2F2F have any ounce of reality in regards to the tuning community, then I would like to suggest a movie that deals with the Airline Industry. It is called "Airplane."
And more importantly, do you live the lifestyle?Do I live the lifestyle? I live the Highlife... Miller that is.
What about drifting? Are you a drifter?
This is about the only idea that you have for a show that is not laughable. But please, dont show a bunch of punk high school kids in their Mazda RX-7s, Nissan 240s or Toyota Corolla AE86s in the A&P parking lot doing power slides. If I want power slides, I will flip on the Speed Channel and watch the WRC.
Have you ever spent $15,000 on aftermarket accessories?$15k for a JDM front clip, turbo upgrade, FMIC, injector upgrade, fuel pump upgrade, body kit, carbon fiber wing, JDM front end, doesn’t make your $3k Nissan, Toyota, Honda or Mazda worth 20k. I am sick and tired of seeing punks on Ebay trying to pass off Customized and Built Honda Civics for $100K. No they are not show quality and there is no way in hell you spend that type of cash on your car. $15k a year X 7 years= $100k if you work at Kroger and have no expenses.
Do you sell or trade specialty parts?Call Turbo XS, Perrin Performance Parts or Mugen. You know your going to get about 100k emails from people that fab their own bondo hoods and air ride systems.
Would you rather customize or race?
Are you serious? Your customization emails will fit one of two profiles. Mazda MX-6. Smashed in front end body kit (color: battleship gray), rear end body kit (primer white), carbon fiber knock off hood (Ford Contour hood spray painted black) and a mad thyte wing superglue'd to the rear deck lid (Yeah, it does look like they went to their school's football field and stole a bleacher, but hey its functional right?) Honda Civic with a Mugen body kit. Paint is a Chameleon Purple and the car looks squared away. Unfortunately the car is only making 90hp and probably needs a tune up. And no, the neon washer nozzles on the hood do not add 50whp.
And do the girls really like the souped up rides?
I’m sure chicks dig Ferraris, Corvettes and a wide assortment of sports cars. There may even be girls that dig a B18 swap in a Civic, or a SR20DET swap in a Nissan 240. But the chicks that Tuners and Enthusiast dig, are the ones that bring their rides out and race.
Seriously Mr./Mrs. Casting Supervisor, this idea has been attempted by Hollywood, the Media and Cable stations. Typically the result has been laughable and mocked on many Car Enthusiast Internet Forums. Please do it right or not at all. If you want to see how its done, Install Days at people’s houses, Auto Crossing, Road Course Racing and Car meets please feel free to call me. But please don’t waste your time video taping kids that call themselves tuners that have a shop perform their modifications. Or kids that consider themselves street racers and line up against and rev on the 65-year-old man in the Ford Crown Victory. Glorifying this outlaw lifestyle will someday lead to kids crashing there cars into Minivans filled with families of four.
