This is awesome-I can't wait to see some of the entries. I'm totally drawing a blank on this one and kindof have a thing against messing with/adding to my chair....since it's only a couple months old-I'm afraid I'm leaving her in mint condition but I'll definitely vote for other cool pimped rides.
i have had guys wanting to pimp my chair for yeeaaarrrss, even before pimp my ride was in existence! boys and their toys, i guess...
This is a great idea and us boys do love our toys. I'm looking forward to seeing the entries but my chair is just a plain old Quickie 2. I've had black and silver chairs forever because I like the Raiders and chairs didn't come in orange and brown, which of course is colors of my beloved Cleveland Browns.
Also black doesn't show the dirt as much
Here is our entry:

From the airports, to the hotels we travel, races, and just rolling in the streets, people love to come, look and ask questions!
We have flamed the seats, Monster Logo and Graffics, Bose Speakers in the headrest, portable amp to boost those tunes!

Many times after the races we make late runs to the hotel a few miles away and it can get dark so we have a 4 light quad set up from www.REI.com !

We just updated it so when a call comes in via iPhone, the music fades the call comes in with the call coming through the speakers you just talk normal.
When the call ends the music resumes.
Hope you enjoy!!

Where are the entrys?
the instructions summarized at the beginning of the post:
"
post your entry as a blog and title it appropriately. then you'll be in the running. thanks
This is a fun contest. I have a question though. Is there a seperate winner each for wheelchairs and prosthetics? It's gonna be hard for us bolt on limbs to compete with the likes of the InTIMMidator. lol What an amazing chair!!!! Nice work Timm!!!!
Hey Kara, I'm gonna ship my leg down there. Can you take it over to Miami Ink and have them put something fancy on it for me? :-)
Good Luck everyone!
Jay: Good Morning, thank you for the thumps up!
We did it as a project with a ton of help, but the point was to show others, and the world that just because you roll in a chair, scooter, wheelchair...its dosnt have to look "medical".
We just took it to the next level.
My wife and I have "adopted" a little guy Nick in Detroit we meet via the web who like my self has MD, Nick saw our pics of the chair via our myspace page.
www.myspace/crystalandtimm
So we worked with some vendor (paint/custom car shops) and they also are going to work with Nick on getting his chair "pimped"
I had a lot of places turn me down when we came to them with the ideas.
Now that we did it we get email from lots of places wanting to help others pimp there chairs, scooters etc.
Have to tell you it opens a ton of doors that normally would not be so open!
Happy Holidays!
hi timm..like i mentioned on the blog..what else to say about your chair is that it's the goddamn balls dude!
hi dave, you can always use housepaint for those colors that would look like somethin else right? lol
hi kara, i agree with you it will be fun to look at others, not much to do with a quickie i don't think. the more weight to it the harder to wheel.
hi sharon, how have you been? missed ya
good luck to everyone
jburd641:Hey Kara, I'm gonna ship my leg down there. Can you take it over to Miami Ink and have them put something fancy on it for me? :-)
THEY'VE DONE THAT!!
Really Sharon? Heck, I may have to let my vanity kick in and opt for the cover that looks real instead of the straight pipe....lol.
Congratulations to Timm and his Monster Energy Turbo Q.6000 powerchair in clenching the Pimp My Wheelchair contest victory. Timm went above and beyond with his techno-accompanied video entry and the sweet embroidered flames and wide range of customizations on his wheelchair all but guaranteed his victory. Check out his video below one last time and join me in congratulating Timm!
