Welcome to the Chop Shop | Underworld, Inc.
I think I own probably about 11 cars personally, old to new. Drop a top and hit the highway and ride out, you know what I mean? You and your lady, you get money on the level. I get it; you can buy whatever you want—a legit business in the daytime, and at night, after hours, it's a chop shop. Lots of cars are more valuable for their parts, but sourcing them takes networking. It's not who you are; it's who you're connected to.
Once you're connected to the right sources, you're all right. Sparks works in Oakland but deals in stolen cars from all over California. I request certain vehicles that are requested to me; I pass it along to my bottom feeders. Bring me my car; they bring me what I need. Sometimes we get demands for Camaros, super sports, like 1968, 69. We talking muscle cars. We get anything that's sent our way.
Sparks can assess the value of any car at a glance. I'm a hustler; I see dollar signs. I sell these wheels real quick to one of the little homies. Need some 24-inch wheels? These are 24-inch velocities. The car itself may not be valuable; open the trunk for it, but it might contain hidden gems. Got a custom box, custom amps—I don't know how much he spent on it. Custom accessories mean more dough for the choppers.
Look in the inside there—there's a camera in there, EQ preamp, big face TV in the back. You see all the speakers? That's so the music beats through the trunk. Somebody spent some real money on this. It doesn't take much to steal an old car like this. This is an all-purpose bag of tricks right here. We have Slim JY, kick Slims in, and Jimmy's; the lock is open, the car is gone. You even have special keys to open car doors, wedges; put them in the windows and pop them back. Stick your arm in, just goes around your lock on the inside: pop goes the weasel; the car is mine.
With this toolkit, I can get into a car and be gone in the car in 60 seconds—just that fast.
