I hate to be blunt, but a poor kid deserves free money more than a middle-income kid. I know a few people in college that get free money back from the government from FAFSA because their parents are paying for their college and they filled out FAFSA anyway. That's complete bullshit. My parents are rather wealthy and aren't paying for my college. I get shit out of scholarships, grants, and loan rates because of their income and there is nothing I can do about it. So the people I'm talking about get $40,000 free from their parents, then a nice fat $2000 check every semester to spend on whatever they want, all because their parents are paying FOR their college. Where's the love for the guys that are in a shitty situation (me)? Sorry to get off topic. Those people don't deserve the money they get from the government. They get their college for FREE, plus extra spending money. It's a win-win situation while the kids on their own get shit out of everything from the government. Some people DO deserve "free money" moreso than others.

I'm sure that the pimp-ups aren't entirely true though. There's no way some of those shitcans would be on the road. Some episodes seem like they just found the worst car possible and gave it to someone that looked like they'd never have driven it before.

I seriously think the show is entertaining. Xhibit (however you spell it) is hilarious in most episodes. He compared one car to a Mad Max car..that had be laughing all the way to work.
