have you seen the show "unique whips"?

Question

i watched an episode yesterday and i almost sh!t myself, like how could these guys be trusted with anyone's car, let alone a fancy ferrari or lambo? i mean they had the wrong thread lug nuts and it turned into this giant ordeal, 3 people looking at them, testing em out. i mean grab a thread gauge and get on with it jesus!

Answer 1

I try NOT to watch those morons with their multi-hundreds of thousands of dollars waste of money rides. I wouldn't trust MY car to any of the jerks on TV (except maybe Chip Foose, Boyd Coddingham or, maybe, in a pinch, Jesse James).

Answer 2

Castro's shop is a zoo. I have been a professional car mechanic 40 years and I to have a thread gauge. But that's is New York or New Jersey Area. Cars rust away there in three or four years anyway. Some of the 24" diamond studded rimmed 24 tv screen hummers that never see off road that are owned BY New Jersey Nets Basketball players were done in Whip's Shop. All in the name of entertainment?

Answer 3

I hear ya. About the only guy on the show that I think is worth his weight in salt, is that Buju, whatever his name is. He does the upolstery.

One question I have is, has that Castro ever picked up a wrench, anything, that might help bring the job to a close sooner? I am willing to bet he was one of the 3.

Answer 4

These celebs don't care what they do with it. They're buying a car worth as much as a house and spending as much money on rims and sound system than an average joe would spend on a brand new car.
