Here's a little something that would make tune-happy, car customizer-wannabes like me. I know it's a toy for kids way below my age (lol) but I'm certai, if you're a Pimp my Ride fan like I am? You would agree that sometimes adults need to play too. :P

It was brought home last night by my brother, who is by the way, a Pimp My Ride fan (and aspiring "Pimpee") like me. It was a gift from his girl and we were just ecstatic over it and we couldn't stop fawning all over it and I will stop babbling now and describe the toy already.

It was called "Custom Garage". The toy's principle is pretty basic: you use the buffer with a little water to gradually take away the primer paint. At first it looks like a rusty old car badly in need of some Pimping, then it would reveal some shiny new paint underneath.


After buffing the "old" car and the good paint is showing, new pieces could be added to the car. The toy includes spare wheels and tires, a brand new rear spoiler wing, chrome exhaust tips, and a hood. And to complete the whole pimped look of the car, there's a bunch of stickers and decals that could be added.

This toy is manufactured by JAKKS Pacific, Inc. It comes in different car models, too. Take my word for it, folks. This is one seriously cool toy, especially for a car lover.


These are (from top to bottom) a 1997 General Motors Chevrolet Corvette, a 2-door hardtop coupe and has yellow, pink, blue and gray primer color. The second is a 1998 Ford Mustang, it comes in red and gray primer.
