Your Benz on Overhaulin..????

Ever watch the program? I always discuss with the wife about getting me on the show. (just dreaming of course)

What would you want done?

Me:
New paint (stock colors)
New interior (factory original)
Maybe white face gauges
Killer stereo (nothing fancy looking)
Lowering kit
Tinted windows
Remote entry/alarm
Motor and trans rebuild of course
Bigger turbo
WVO system
Propane injection

Hmmm...

I think my wagon would look killer with a lower stance, tinted windows, Mercedes AMG rims, rebuilt motor, nice sounding stereo, and an AMG body kit. Oh yeah, I can see it now. It would look good.

Something like this:

Overhaulin is at least higher quality work than "Pimp my Ride".

I still couldn't believe when they cut the roof off that '66 T-Bird.

The owner was very happy with the car, but I'd call that vandalism. Um, hello... roofless wonder???

My friends and I used to joke about getting one of my cars on Pimp My Ride. The editing needed after they screw up my car would be quite a task.

Cut to me viewing the aquarium they installed in my 126 "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I think Foose (& co.) does some incredible things to the classic American metal. (with the exception of cutting that roof off the T-Bird)
But, I can’t think of a M/B that he could do much to without it looking rather “Pimped”.

I'd just want them to do a complete restore.

Oh and drop one of those 500hp intercooled 606's in, with a bunch of AMG suspension work.

They would never do a MB on one of those shows though.

Pimp My Ride should not be allowed to touch a MB, if the rapper guy came to my door I would be like "so do you have to pimp my car? Can you do my moms?"

I wish they would do imports....

Our biggest problem is the import stigma...we won't get out cars on Overhaulin due to that alone, and its a real shame because there's some really nice import projects that can be had.

As to Pimp my ride, they're low class, hip-hop meets Earl Shybe $50 paint jobs...but they'll do an import no prob
