You've heard of MTV's Pimp My Ride, but now special to the boardwalk of Atlantic City, NJ, comes Pimp My Rolling Chair. We went to the specialists at One Stop Car Audio in Northfield for a couple of suggestions on how they would put the Rollin' in Rolling Chair.
Spinners: It might be hard to find spinners for 12-inch wheels instead of 22's, but they're certainly part of any pimped out ride. Of course you'd have to take it one step further by having multi-colored spinners to offset the chrome- and without a doubt, make sure they spin clock-wise!
Upholstery: Rip out these burlap sacks someone mistook for seat covers and replaced them with terry cloth. Yes, terry cloth! Now you've got that same feel on your skin as when you dry yourself after a shower at the Taj. It's the Cadillac of fabrics, especially for the shore. I mean even the finest Corinthian leather will still make you stick and make those embarrassing fart sounds while getting in and out of your ride.
Body: White. Everyone's got a white rolling chair. We're taking it to the opposite end of the spectrum. Replace the plain wicker, wood or plastic exterior of a regular rolling chair and replace it with a carbon fiber shell. Paint some flames on the side so you look like you're burning rubber even when standing still.
Sound: Rig up some speakers that attach to the seat backs. With the speakers that close to your ears, it's like you're sitting at the concert itself. Then get a massive subwoofer built into the floorboard. It's gonna rattle the bolts right off.
Lights: Outfit the underside of the carriage with neon lights. You won't have to warn people to get out of the way now. They'll see you coming a mile away. If you noticed the seat's a little colder than usual, it's probably the sub Z built into the seat. Looking for a little pick me up? Flip the seat open, grab a Corona and throw it back. Takes the edge right off.
Satellite TV: Yes, the guys from One Stop can even install satellite TV in your rolling chair. Get over 300 channels while cruising down the boardwalk. You can spend time doing something romantic with your wife and still catch the Eagles game!!! Ain't technology grand.
Accessories: Your rolling chair is now almost completely pimped out. The only thing left is a nice pair of fuzzy dice to hang in the front of your ride. It'll let people know that you mean business. Accessory Option: A horn that sounds like the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard, it'll keep away the shoebees, seagulls AND Boss Hog.
