Pimp my Ride (Po' Man's Edition)

This episode goes way back for me.

Grayden was just sixteen when he got his first car: a very red '94 Chevy S-10 pickup with about as much mileage as one would expect for having a vehicle that long. He was returning from a trip to a nearby music store after having bought a much anticipated and newly released CD when tradgedy struck. On an otherwise bright and cheery day, Grayden had pulled up to a merge while peacefully rocking out to his new tunes. The music was new, the car was (basically) new, the moment was good; everything could be summed up with just one word: "cool".

Unfortunately, we can't make a decent "pimp my ride" session with this kind of material. So, enter "woman in WAY too much of a hurry": stage... well she was behind Grayden, but for the sake of fluidity we'll say, "stage left". "Woman in WAY too much of a hurry" probably noticed the "coolness" that was taking place not five feet in front of her. She probably realized the nirvana that the young man in front of her was experiencing, but what did that mean to her in her perdicament? ....Well I'm not sure what it meant to her, but it meant a huge dent in the tailgate and a nearly nonexistant bumper to Grayden. "Woman in WAY too much of a hurry" was apparently in so much of a hurry that she didn't quite feel obligated to pull off to the side and exchange information after dealing the blow. Time itself, as I'm sure you've heard, was money and "woman in WAY too much of a hurry"(we'll call her Sally from here on out) couldn't afford to lose any more money. What would follow was a deeply emotional mix of anger, pain and paralysis. For four years Grayden would have to search far and wide to replace the parts of his beloved pickup that had been so abruptly ripped away.

This is where Pimp my Ride comes to save the day. Its only the beginning of this Disney fairy tale story as we're gonna' hook Grayden up with teh sweetest ride this side of the Columbia! (Notice: due to such a low budget as we were given we'll have to dub this teh "Po' Man's Edition.) Alright, lets take a look at what's goin' down.

This truck was MESSED UP! So, in order to undo the damage we did a few things. Starting off, we ordered a bran' spakin' new rear fender, and we ain't messin' neither. This ain't yo momma's run of teh mill bumper. We're talkin' over three feet of ebony steel "APF2999" hotness here. As if that that weren't enough, we gonna give this ride a sweet new paint job. Red is overrated, and blue just won't do the job right. How about a slightly darker shade of regular blue to top things off? That's right, we do things sick-like here at Pimp my Ride (Po' Man's Edition) . What's that? You thought we was done? Ahh no, no my freaky little friends. Now we be fixin' that crap-glass po' Grayden calls a windshield. That's right, we go beyond the expected and deliver it straight up nice like it meant to be. This sucka be chillin' real now. How's that Gray-V? We done pimp'd yo ride (in tru po' man style)

Yeah, I know it's lame, but a lot of interesting things come out when you're tired.... like this. Before I leave I've put in some kind of disclaimer I guess. Lets see...
