Just got back from the Funkmaster Flex car show. All I can say is if it is coming to your town do not waste your time or money.
Anybody who knows me will tell you I am very modest about my cars and work. I brought my 62 to the show which is a full tilt done up rod from bumper to bumper.
They claimed to have professional judging and a huge $10k prize. The judges kept asking me if I had any neons or flashing lights? They then asked me to describe my car. I realized they hadn't a clue what I was talking about. I told him I had a special Duracell battery. 6 link suspension and a 18 bolt AMC rear. They never said a word. One guy next to me was laughing so hard I couldn't believe they were that clueless.
The show was full of no shows from celebrities, 1/2 the cars predicted, and leaving my car in the middle of a dance contest between 5 girls in G strings. I actually had to get the police in the building to get the crowd off of my car. Don't blame them for looking but don't do this 5 feet from show cars. Then somebody walking by left a coke on my roof. One chick after hours when the cars were supposed to be secured got naked and attempted to get her picture taken on the bike, well she fell with the bike. Her friend also hung her camera on the mirror of a Caddy with a new candy paint job. This is the truth , can't make stuff like this up.
The end was them telling me they made a mistake in the judging. First they called me up on stage only to find out they ran out of trophies. I was then directed to stay on the stage because I had won something else. The only things left were the big $10k and runner ups. Well they called the 2 runner ups. So I was standing there thinking like everybody else that I won. Well they called another name. They then turned to me and said they F'd up and they would call me. Funk's assistant took my phone number. Talk about embarassing. Honestly there was a Camaro that should have won not me anyway but they gave him 3rd. Funk's own assistant yelled out loud how did he not win. By the way they had no checks for anybody instead they asked for their phone number and they would get in touch.
Sorry I am just venting but do not want somebody else going to one of these traveling rap video shows thinking they are going to get a fair chance. By the way I like rap and that is not the point. You have to be there to understand it is total lack of respect for anybody's property. If you like brand new cars with 22's, blaring non stop music, no security, your car getting damaged, then pay him your $30 to get in WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
