Default MTV: Pimp My Ride

this show airs again 10:30 on thursday eastern on mtv.
has anyone seen it?
Xzibit is the host and they go find people with POS cars and fix them up.
Some of the things they do to the car are kinda tacky but they put a lot of work and money into it.
last episode there was a Daihatsu Hi Jet and they put about 20 grand into it
pretty neat show kinda like the tuner show on Speed channel except they do more work on this one.

The show is actually better than I expected. The take really crappy cars owned by 18-24 year old kids and hook them up. The shop that hooks them up does not do engine work, just body work/entertainment systems.

did you happen to notice the enzo sitting in the garage when they pulled the Hi Jet in.

He mentioned it was a $1 mil. ferrari.

the show was pretty funny... too bad the rims didn't fit at all on the car... and I'm not talking about the sizement... they looked really out of place iwth the rest of the theme of the car... they should have put some dubs on there or something...

too bad that even with the pimped out car.. the guy will never pimp anything other than his left hand or his mom...
