No, I don't have an STD.. heh heh...
OK, OK, I'll admit it ! I don't drive a trailer queen. My paint is not shiny and my rims ain't Bling! The Magic Show is not a bad lookin car, but if I popped the hood, you'd be floored.... EVERYTHING looks ghetto rigged. You might even be inclined to ask, "Why do you call her the 'Magic Show' ?" and I'd prolly answer, "Because this rig runs... it's gotta be by magic !"
I many have alot of 'custom' parts under the hood and everything might work great... but it all looks like a ghetto rig. Paint flaking from the valve cover.... part of a rubber hose to protect the A/C line, the spray painted stress bar mounts and resevouir caps.. the warpped plug wire cover, the scratched to hell FPR, the dirty block, the bent dipstick to go around the manifold (lets not talk about the manifold) The 2 brand new silver bolt on the turbo/mani which compliment the 2 old rusty bolts on the other end. The crusty snail shell.... My bay is nothing to impress, infact I just might keep it shut all the time.
Hell yeah I would love to get everything looking like it belongs in a magazine, but I got to work and would rather spend the money on the parts !
Anyone else out there with the real world setup ? Holla, let us know that you know how we feel !

my car is gheto. home depot pipe insulation covers all of my ic pipes. i live down a gravel road so just keeping the out side clean takes no less than 3 washes a week, so just imagine the engine bay. having a ghetto car just make it fun to watch the face of the guy in a corvette when he looses to a race.

Damn, and I thought my **** was ghetto. Im mad cause i have an ugly *** red (riceboi style) LS valve cover. Im using a dsm bov and IC and have some nasty *** rubber couplings from Home Depot for the charge piping, and also a 2G dsm rubber charge piping going onto my throttle body.
Other than that, its kinda nice I think.

I keep my hood shut like a casket, not too pretty under there.
This guy claiming to be from MTV came up with a video camera and boom mic and (luckily the crowd was blocking him at first) I quickly shut the hood ! He wanted to interview us about racing and our lifestyle.. HA HA .... **** off you Real World spin doctor !

You guys crack me up. This would never do on the Ricer sites. Glad to see there are some "performance is #1" cars out there.
I love the mis-applied Home Depot stuff... so I'm not the only one!

Hey, we spent all our money on the good stuff (IC's, turbos, etc), who has leftover money for clamps and bolts?? Not me.
