Automods AUTObiography

AM: How long have you owned this car?
Sham: Since 2000 January.

AM: Is there anything unique about the history of this car?
Sham: Back in 2000 not a lot of cars (Hondas) were running turbo and nitros simultaneously, now everyone doing it, so we were the trend setters.

AM: Why did you choose this car to purchase?
Sham: I love the bubble light, and it is one the most easily available cars to get some serious off market parts for, expensive, but readily available.

AM: What was your objective with this car?
Sham: To get a machine that can rival even the lowest tegy in California both in looks , style and power, even though the Jamaican roads is shit, I aint carrying it any higher, infact I have an extra 3 inch to play with, who knows, I just might drop it little lower.lolololol

AM: What tuning style would you describe this car as? (ex. Euro, Bling, OEMplus, street racer, auto crosser).
Sham: Street racer..as long as the road SMOOTH.

AM: Who helped you build this car?
Sham: Paul Fung and Craig Lue got the ball a rolling, soon after I got my friend Damion from CARS ltd to do my electrics in collaboration with Marvin from Performance Tech who installed various off market high end electronic products. the guys from Automotive Art helped me with my bright colour, not to forget Kevin, Donna and Steve from Auto Planet who enabled me to outfit ma engine with quality and stylish performance products, also obtaining the same efforts from Paul of King Midas and not forgetting my graphics man Andrew who allowed my car to look like anything from out of the fast and the furious with my high end well done graphics tastefully fitted on various airmarked parts of the teggy.

AM: What is your favorite part/feature/function?
Sham: My LAMBO doors of course, which has no other use but to mad up the place lolololol.

AM : What was your biggest obstacle in building this car?
Sham: Was maintaining that show room look both in the engine and on the outside especially. Because getting the parts were no prob, and installing it was even easier due to the amount of advice I received from friends who know their stuff because they are in the shit long time.

AM: How did you overcome the issue?
Sham: By spraying my car every two or three weeks, especially the front lip and side skirtings, because they got abused regularly. Luckily they are polyurethane and not fiberglass. And no, I still aint raising the car though I am sitting on coilovers.

AM: What would you change if you could?
Sham: My suspension system, I would put on the Air Ride system, which with a flick of a button I can go high like a truck or low to the ground like a mother - - - - - -- -.

AM: On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with the outcome of this project?
Sham: 8 and a half really, cause I still not done. I know I will find something new to throw on soon, easily, because new stuff keep coming out and I intend to keep up or rather set it.

AM: What is your most memorable/humorous/embarrassing moment with this car?
Sham: Memorable and embarrassing was when I went with my girl to 05 ATI weekend in Negril and decided to drive my yellow bull. We left town at 7:30pm and we didn't reach down Negril till 1:30am, obviously I wasn't going to drive any faster, right!! Coming back up ma girl's best friend came with us , me vex now cause nobody rides in the back but I suck it in, but her ass was so big my tyre rub on the fender and eventually buss. basically when I came back in town I had two flats, two bent rims, front lip chip up, studs bruk off my front rim and bare headache, so it cost me a $45 gran to sort out everything...never again will I drive to Negril, for love nor money, well maaaaaybe MONEY.

AM: What is your favorite place to drive this car?
Sham: Trust me, anywhere with smooth roads lolololol

AM: What is your ideal day with this car?
Sham: Any day where I and my girl can kick back chills in the ac and cruise to the coast on good roads. The thought alone gives me goose bumps.

AM: Who gets to drive this car?
Sham: Only three people, me myself and I. my brother used to drive it but he popped it down when I was away. The only other person that drives it is my good friend Alvis to this date, that's because he has a Lexus as low as my teggy so he can appreciate how to handle my baby with care.

AM: If your car had a motto, what would it be?
Sham: Great things come in YELLOW packages.

AM: If you had to name your car, what would you name it?
Sham: Yellow bull.

AM: What one word best describes your car?
