    I used the "ask seller a question" button on e-bay to find out if there was any maintenance due on the Bentley, but all I got back was a response laden with challenges to "join him in the squared circle" and that if I asked him another question about the Bentley he'd "jump 25 feet in the air off the top rope, and drive his elbow through my skull", and that he would hammer me with his 24-inch pythons... whatever that means.

    Funny this should come up. Just last night, me and my friends were playing an old WWE game that allows custom characters. Naturally we made ourselves to beat the crap out of each other.

    Good god this whole thing is awful and unnecessary. Disgusting. Terrible wheels, stupid idea.

    I could've done it far better for far less money.

    GOD I hate that show. They get paid brazillions of dollars to "customize" a car and they outsource damn near EVERYTHING!! The only, and I do me ONLY, thing they can do is put wheels on, install a stereo deck, and build custom sub boxes & amp racks. Lest we not forget the miles and miles of unnecessary neon that will inevitably drown the interior with enough light to be seen from space. They can't paint. They can't do ANY kind of motor work. They can't do suspension. They can't even do a f'ing BOLT ON exhaust kit!!! I hope his shop burns to the ground.

    I don't even care about all the people who call their $80,000 jobs "Unique Gyps" or whatever. The problem I have with Will Castro is all the times he called his people "family" and then treated them as sub-humans.
    Remember the time he rounded up all the new guys to crucify Remmy in front of them all in an ambush I can't even come up with a comparison to?
    He knows how to run a shop and squeeze all he can out of employees, but his bullshit that he's a family is a fantasy. If he'll turn a major ambush of all new employees on Remmy without notice then he's the worst kind of person.
    I don't care what kind of pool table he has. I just don't give a crap. He has no loyalty to his people, but expects them to be slaves to him. Just seeing him doing that ambush on a person he says is his "best friend" and "family" shows he's the prick of the highest order.
    He knows how to run a shop (as a tyrant) but doesn't know how to run a show which is the big picture for a business like that.

    It would have to be made FOR Will Castro because we all know that his shop cannot do anything more extensive than can be found in most high school shop classes.

    At first I was going to scream "f*ing lame" at the top of my lungs, but then I saw that the builders actually made a custom hand bent steel rail system that returns the balls. That with the fact that the supports appear to have been cnc waterjet cut from 1/2" steel.

    The rims themselves are the worst thing about it. Swap those rims out, ditch the neons and you've got an Awesome table that took some serious fabrication skills to make.

    I like the idea, but the execution is precisely the opposite of what I would have gone for.

    Had it been cobbled together out of rusty old leaf springs, old rusty stealies with white walls, dingey old carpet and rusty tailpipes, I'd be in for sure.

    This table is absolutely disgusting and hangin'-out-of-my-butt-crack anus ugly.

    Looks like it is poorly designed and could tip over easily.

    Now, this table reminds me of stupid Chinese money-wasting tuned rice racers.

    @My X-type is too a real Jaguar: That's what it looks like. I've been wondering what happened since Speed keeps playing reruns from '06 and '07. I had heard rumors there were financial issues, but apparently not. Either that or living on credit is still en vogue in the Castro household.

    @engineerd: Thankfully Speed was able to replace it with reality shows about towing and chasing down stolen cars, rather than something absurd like...I don't know...V8 Supercar highlight shows or new episodes of "Legends of Motorsport."
