Remember how the show is fake and no one actually got the cars in the end

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 58 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They got to keep the cars but the mods were so ridiculous & unnecessary, and the mechanics didn't even fix what was actually wrong with the junk cars in the first place.

So the cars didn't last long. Yeah it was all for show.

No, he's full of shit. Its kind of famous that they sent the cars out and they were absolute pieces of shit. They did the mods crappy as fuck. Like 1 thing I remember was this one that had tvs that would rise up. They used cheap windshield wiper motors for the TVs and it lasted like a month.

There are several stories out there about the shitty cars.

Also they were forbidden by contract from selling them, so there was nothing they could do with them

[–] Liz@midwest.social 13 points 4 months ago

Uhhhh, what? It was my understanding that the two big problems were that they didn't fix mechanical or structural issues and that the owners couldn't afford to keep nice looking cars.

I think it would be more challenging to find something reasonable they put on or in a car

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

One time a guy got a new car because his was split in the middle. I guess that's reasonable

[–] WallEx@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

So they did have some sense after all, who would have guessed

If I see cocomelon while driving, I may intentionally crash into a gasoline truck and end it

Baby shark is banned in our household

I love it, I guess I’m in the minority on that one. My kids have so much fun with that song. My 3 year old said, “daddy’s dumb doot doot..” yesterday haha. It’s just so easy to make up your own little song with it.

Joep banned sharks doot doot doot

A flavored oxygen multi-tank and gas mask. Inhale this shit that Xzhibit and a mechanic put in your car!
