The problem with the show is once you've seen an episode you can pretty much guess what the other episodes will be like; taking down the new "ups" on the lot for as much money as possible.
Unique Whips is no better. Will is an egomaniac. He makes money by getting much of the product he puts on cars sponsored (because the cars are owned by high-profile celebrities) in exchange for exposure. Then he charges the celebrities a pretty penny for the parts and labor, pocketing the entire amount. I can't believe Pirelli jumped in bed with this dude...

The show was on last nite. I couldn't keep watching. C'mon, the guy in the blue clown outfit trying to get hooked up with a girl and everyone taking bets on whether he gets a number. It was funny but when added to the overall junk, not enough to keep my attention. I watch car shows for the cars. Not a guy who thinks he's king of the world and his cronies.

If you are watching this show, please realize who you are supporting. The Towbins, along with Steve Wynn, rank very high among the sleeze and scum of Las Vegas. Almost 50 lawsuits have been filed against them since '91 which is very high for a dealership in a town that still doesn't have 2 million residents.
The Chopper is nothing more than a brainless thug with some organizational and motivational skill. He actually threatened a guy and kicked his truck in the street because the guy was protesting. Sadly, none of his *****es (aka employees) had the ***** to testify and the charges were dropped against him. Not before he attempted to buy his way out of trouble by offering to make a large donation to a police organization. Falsifying credit reports and income amounts for potential buyers is common practice.
Here's a link to a guy ripped off by them. The guy takes blaimng them a little far by blaming them for his divorce and his mom dying but he does expose them a lot more than they want to be. http://www.choppercarsfraud.com/
Please stop watching and supporting this scum bag.

How do you falsify a credit report i dont understand. After looking at that website and listening to the two people behind the camera they were taken for a ride because they were ignorant. Listen to how they talk they can even pronounce half there words and there stuttering sounds like they are just making that stuff up. And then he had the nerve to call the gaurd a ****** i find that offensive. Seems like some dumb person got upset because he forgot the old addage buyer beware.

You pull a credit report on a customer and then lie about the credit score to the bank you are trying to finance the car through. The banks do not check the credit and rely on the finance office at the dealerships to do that. Pretty easy to do but still illegal.
Like I said before, ignore the guys personal vendetta he seems to have and look at the evidence he's compiled.

I read his evidence and i agree with everyone who emailed his website at any time he could have said that the car is too expensive and that he didnt want it he didnt do that. Also whenever i buy a used car i take it to a trusted mechanic to have the car checked out. When i bought my IS300 even though it wasnt even four years old i still took it to a mechanic to check it out the dealer even allows you to do this. If you buy one brand of car from another brand dealer because there mechanics are not familiar with that brand of car they may unintintionaly overlook something. This guy is a loser and an idiot and should be happy someone even financed him with his bad credit. People like him need to get a life.

Thats exactly what I thought as well when A&E started to release commercials of the show. I'll give him a pat on the back for hard work and what not but the show isn't very interesting at all.

When i first saw the ads in the paper I actually thought chopper was heavy D and i was wondering how he could afford a phantom after watching the show i realised i was wrong very wrong bout what the show was about.

Whoever wrote that website is a moron....I couldn't even understand half of it. For crying out loud...the site has a pic of his bloody stool (??).
I think all car dealerships are a little shady, let's be honest.
