Nice car Wynd. I always liked the Coronets.

And I'll bet it was hard to learn to drive a stick in that one!!!



It was fun. Like they say up in Boston, "it's wicked fast".


If you can keep the tires from spinning. You could go thru a set of rears in one night. LOL

Those tires are huge. Check out the difference between it and your Charger. They almost touch the metal.

Um, now you've lost me. That looks more like a "Lookie Here!" vehicle than what I'd call "Pimp".

So, what do you mean by "Pimp"? (If you care to say, that is.)

Oh, I noticed the tires. And unfortunately, that Charger isn't mine. It's up on eBay right now, the bid is at $75K (I've was dreaming earlier today). I had a friend in high school that had a blue one.

My hubby says that's a good cheap price for a stock Hemi Charger. If it's legitimate it should go for at least $100k. He said if he needed some quick cash he'd take $75k for his non-numbers matching car. But that won't happen.

The 1st rule of pimping your ride is to put on the biggest most ridiculous looking bling ghetto rims you can't afford to buy because a set of them go for about $4,000.00 (gold plated are better yet though they're an extra $1000). Then you festoon it with the gaudiest crap imaginable and then install an ear drum shattering $5,000.00 sound system that will draw even more attention from the cops while you have 10 arrest warrants out on your scraggley butt.

That's what a pimped ride is.

Ahhh! Thanks for explaining.


Maybe the cops could sponser an undercover car pimping fund under the guise of low interest loans through auto accessory shops.

Well...I'm throught with that part of it....but my system didn't cost me 5000 bucks. Matter of fact...it only cost me about 300 bucks TOTAL....lol Still loud enough to make some of those really expensive systems sound bad though.

Starting with the mid-range speakers. Nothing but the best. Your pimpmobile should have them. That would be $749.99 for the pair.

Polk SR6500 6-3/4" mid-range 250 watts rated

Ok... Next we need the subwoofers. Not surprisingly these also go for $749.99 each. You'll need a pair of them. That's $1499.98

Rockford Fosgate T215D2 15" subwoofer 2000 watt rated

This is the cheap part. The tweeters and you only need a pair of them. they're only $99.99 a pair.

Polk db1001 1" tweeters 180 watt rated

That's it for the speakers. Next we move to the amps.

First we need one for the tweeters. Just a low power output amp. you only need the one dual channel model and that'll only cost you $124.99

MTX Thunder 702X 105 watts x 2 rated

The price now takes a drastic jump to power your mid-ranges. At least you just need one but it goes for $699.99

Alpine PDX-4.150 150watts x 4 rated

Now comes heart attack city. Remember you have to power those big boom boom subwoofers now and you're going to need an amp for each speaker. Well...they go for $799.99 each x 2 comes to $1599.98 and those aren't the best either.

Alpine PDX-1.1000 1000 watts x 1

you'll orobably be able to wire this up with two cable kits at $119.99 each for a total of $239.98

Rockford Fosgate CP4DCKS

This is the cheapest part, the speaker wires. It's just 80 cents a foot. We'll be on the safe side and get 6ft. per speaker or 36 ft. and round it up to 50 ft. The cost $4O BUCK DOLLARS.

12 guage Ultra Cable


This is just your average pimpmobile sound system. Parts only, add up to $5054.90 total.

Of course this doesn't take into account the cost of the cars electrical system modifications. It also assumes that you're doing the work yourself.
