    Pimp My Pierce

    When you spend your days and nights surfing the Web looking for interesting, entertaining, and sometimes simply strange auto-related stories, you sometimes find yourself lulled into thinking…”Man, I’ve seen it all!

    And then, as usual, you find something that reminds you what a crazy, messed up world we live in. Last week it was the “artist” that delighted in smashing two Pontiac Firebirds for the sake of “art.”

    Well, believe it or not, it happened again this week.

    I was happily surfing some of my favorite auto sites this afternoon, minding my own business, when I ran across this headline: “Pimp My Pierce!: Be the first on your block to own a ’33 Pierce-Arrow with a Chevy 454.”

    It was at that moment that it hit me….some people simply have no shame.

    OK, so I am not a “purist.” I get a thrill out of hot rods, resto mods, and just about any unique pile of iron that a guy can weld together and slap an engine in, but this was simply too much for me to stomach.

    Who knows, maybe it was the combination of a CD-player, wire-wheels and "Cold" air conditioning on a '33 Pierce-Arrow that pushed me over the top.

    SO…take a deep breath, say a few last minute prayer’s for strength and click here to see what happens when you let a total goofball with too much money and free time, near a perfectly nice classic car…Who knows, maybe next week I’ll find a sweet Duesenberg that has been chopped, channeled and has a bored-out 327 under it’s hood.

    What is the worst custom/combination you’ve ran across?

    I once saw a guy with a Corvette! It almost turned my stomach...well, maybe it wasn't all that bad, but I've never been much of a Corvette fan. Why do folks like these cars so much?

    That corvette comment was really good! My peeve in the automotive world is when an uneducated nimrod yanks a good pontiac motor and replaces it with a big or small block chevy!
