Yeah the show was a scam. • They didn't fix mechanical issues • The gadgets that weren't straight up fake usually stopped working shortly after they left the shop • If the gadgets did work, the owner often wasn't allowed to keep them • Most cars ended up running worse after all the shoddy electrical work
The only episode I remember where the person really got an upgrade was the one where they deemed the car too far gone and used a brand new RAV4 as a base. If the person could keep it that is...
Fun fact, in the US a car is still street legal if it has only one side mirror. Doesn’t matter which side. There have even been cases (though this would depend on the state) where a convertible car can just have the rear view mirror and still be street legal. There was some sciencey channel a year ago or so who had the challenge to take away as much as they could from a car and it still be street legal. They were in California and cut the car in half to where it was dragging the back half on the ground along with a whole bunch of other things. They kept the seatbelts and one side mirror and drove around (including in front of a police officer) and had no problems.
Yeah I actually drive a 1972 Plymouth Satellite which only has a driver side mirror, it could use a nice pimpin' as well, though idk some of these designs are atrocious.
I wanna do something like this but I go around doing the charitable act of giving out free cat deletes on people's cars so they get a +5hp boost and it sounds like a race car
Sometimes the pimped ride the participants received wasn't theirs, or not entirely. Often these cars had severe mechanical issues (failing transmissions, engine knocks, shoddy suspension) and it was just cheaper to wrangle a car of the same generation in better condition to work with
Greyish and bluish metallics with the bird on the hood were actual paint options on the '81 Trans Am, so in a sick twist that car was one of the more faithful restorations the show ever did, gaudy wheels and stupid gimmicks aside.
Pimp my ride was a staple of the 2000s era TV, but its sad to think that nowadays it would have been a 6 episode-long youtube series on some obscure channel that no one would watch. I miss the TV era
Loved this show man. Even tho it was so whacky and stupid sometimes but man did it hit the spot. Thanks for bringing back some long forgotten memories.
It does seem to have been said, but it's well know that most of the mods they did to a car they took it back after, and also they didn't touch the mechanics at all
Best part of this show is learning years later that Xzibit hates it. People would approach him all the time and get mad at him for ruining all these cars even though he had absolutely nothing to do with the actual pimping. He was just a host. People would still hate on him for it though.
I think the rat was planted. A feral rat would have just bolted the hell out like a maniac, that right is a domesticated rat. Real feral rats will either fight or flee.
Yes, also owner said that there were mice. The rat looks too healthy to be living near the engine. And this rat is definitely too clean(I mean if you look at its tail then it's very noticeable that it's cleaned regularly).
@Anty_Praza i know rats, i catch rats almost every day on my farm. Bastards eat our livestock feed and sometimes kill baby chicks and ducklings up to 3 month old. It's very rare to see a rat in good condition. They usually have scabs, mange, crusty skin and in a few occasions a missing limb or tail. They'll always be skittish and weary of people. When they're caught in the rattraps, they'll squeak and hiss at me. That rat in the Pimp my ride episode was definitely a domestic one.
@ Exactly, I spent over 5 years working with rats and it's quite impressive how calm that rat is. Even most domesticated rats would be quite scared of being in new places, near humans they have never seen before. It's either a hand-raised rat that was near different humans since birth, or this rat was on set a few days before that scene.
Whenever I meet someone new and their name is Michael, I only remember it because of Night Rider. "Michael wait, I can only use the turbo boost once per episode."
ranking list, of high ranking political assassination attempts, such a mustache man, mustache man, but from italy, mustache man , but from soviet union, stuff like that
The pacer girl is probably thinking "Oh great, now I have to take care of a pet, I have to clean up after it, pay for food, take it to the vet" Pets are expensive
I watched all these back in the day as well. It is kind of hilarious revisiting these episodes and seeing just how ridiculous the majority of the ideas were. Shooting playing cards out of the exhaust onto the ground definitely takes the cake. Like what purpose would that even serve? And you're going to have to play 52 card pickup off of the asfault when you're done? Either that or constantly having to reload new packs of cards and dealing with dozens of 1000dlls littering fines. (That's how much a littering fine was in California at least). The cat was definitely the best part of the show for me although I'm surprised you didn't mention that I hope they're not attempting to leave the cat in the car all the time as it would surely perish on the first day of summer! Hopefully the little guy is doing well and has a full belly of rats. He would definitely be very old for a cat to survive that long but let's just pretend he's doing great and at least up in pimp kitty heaven. A 100% would like to see more of these as I loved this show at the time and it's really funny to see the ideas I once thought were cool what's an adolescent brain and now looking back on them and realizing what an ignorant teenage pothead I was at the time. At least I'm glad I wasn't hitting the best Crystal like Mike here on the show. He definitely was on some good stuff! In all seriousness your humor and commentary are just my cup of tea. Even though I'm from California and I drink coffee not tea like you guys on the other side of the pond seem to be so obsessed with. Maybe I need to try some Earl Grey imported straight from England and get your personal recipe for proper preparation of a traditional English cup of tea to appreciate it. Oh and I'm assuming some crumpets as well. Keep the videos coming but remember to always keep it real. Skip to the videos and ideas that you like the most. Suggestions from fans are always a good thing to consider but in the end the things that you find the funniest are always going to show through in the quality of the videos!
PS... That van definitely caught on fire as soon as he pulled out of the Pimp my ride meth bros mechanic shop! And if you do continue the series maybe you could do a follow-up on how all of these vehicles actually ended up. Because there were definitely some horror stories and the majority of the crap they put into these things never really worked and they didn't even fix the actual issues of the car the majority of the time and in a lot of cases actually even made them worse as far as being operational.
Solar Spoilers do exist, used to charge a 12V battey. Could charge that juicer honestly. The wing *might have a vinyl wrap which is why the potential *solar panel, looks so oddly seated into the wing. I.e: They cut into the wing, fitted the solar panel, then wrapped/sealed it. After which they cut out the solar panel for a cleaner look.
You leave me and my frosted tips alone. Reminds me, I used to wear the tribal flame and dragon button up shirts in the 2000's as well. Luckily I was just a kid but still it was rough.
Gotta do the dodge caravan one. Another RUclips, Tavarish, bought it and restored it now. Also the 240sx one is pretty wild. They put like three PlayStations in it or something wild like that
the first transam looked dope atleast from the exterior, that whitish grey actually had an amazing pearl to it, its rare you can see a pearl come through on video like that, im sure it popped in real life, also the on you compared it to was a previous facelift so not a fair comparison as the white ones generation is obviously an uglier front. the 20s are a bit tacky but wheels can be changed
It feels like some of these people don't care about "pimping" their cars and actually just want the TV show to fix their old car
Pretty sure they didn't even fix the cars.
Yeah the show was a scam.
• They didn't fix mechanical issues
• The gadgets that weren't straight up fake usually stopped working shortly after they left the shop

Ahhhhh a man of taste i see
Love how obviously fake this show was and how atrocious every redesign was. Truly peak TV. They don't make shows like this anymore.
wasn’t even fake which is crazy, they just ruined peoples cars.

look up the video "iron man with no doors" its a clip from one of those cop shows. basically this scenario irl

Yo Stoic, which lobby is your favorite? I personally love the tobacco and Israel lobby.
lobby tier list next

The sentence of the day is: "Marcus Aurelius makes a tier list of Pimp My Ride cars."
-Lets look at Paul Allens businesss card.
11:28 happens
-Very impressive.
Feels refreshing to watch a 2000's show where nothing political or brainwashing happens, it's just normal people doing goofy things
Would love to see more of this Stick maybe add a hat with a feather for the next episode so you can be Straight Pimpin
This is awesome, way better than having to rewatch the whole show for the nostalgia hit
You should make a rear-facing stick and pillar so you can appear to be watching the video with us
Bill making up excuses to see stoic buns.
I also was a little child when watching the show. Even then I was wondering how could you have enough money to own a house but drive a car like that.
Greyish and bluish metallics with the bird on the hood were actual paint options on the '81 Trans Am, so in a sick twist that car was one of the more faithful restorations the show ever did, gaudy wheels and stupid gimmicks aside.
with the slot machine to open the door, at this point just roll a dice for every action. Much cheaper

omg this is my fav tier list thus far
great tier list, i would 100% watch more if you do make other parts of this video
Of all the tierlists, i wouldve never guessed pimp my ride XD
I enjoy the Consistency theme they have by taking a car nobody would steal, and making a car that nobody would steal.
It does seem to have been said, but it's well know that most of the mods they did to a car they took it back after, and also they didn't touch the mechanics at all
A stoic named stickback
A true staple of 00's television, even if it's aged horribly I still love this goofy ass show (and Xibit's quips)
Where is the wheelchair one that was in a special episode where they pimped the wheelchair of a guy called wheelz
More please! so funny, I use to think these cars were dream comes true. Now just seems like a funny liability to own. 😂

I'd rather walk everywhere than pimp those rides.

So, they pimp their car, right? Well, who in their right mind would pay a car 200 bucks for a quick trick? Even if it has at least an exhaust hole.

Nah this is sick. It doesn’t need to be practical it needs to be PIMP.
please do more cuh. this shit was absolute flames
road legal in the us only means a headlight, 1 mirror, 2 turn signals, and a brake light
This was fun pls do more
Not making the first car black to look like the one from Mad Max or Kitt from Knight Rider is a crime in and of itself.
Road legality in the US is a bit different but I appreciate the attempts
Car inspections depend on the state
Some don't require anything
Basically if you have a vin, you're good to go
much ba'a 0:30
we need MORE
Loved this episode
You was wrong about the Trans Am - the grey looks nice, not everything must be brightly-colored! It looks subtle, but cool!
What a banger video idea!
you had me at the title
That grey trans am looks good - it's just the walmart brand firebird decal that doesn't work.
Make more of these. Also the "early thousands" say Early two thousands or the aughts
hit me with that episode 2, chief
3:46 cpo I thought ment something else
That cat is THE PIMP
when are we getting the warcrimes tierlist
we need these to come out with different stoic outfits
it's probably way cheaper to get a new one seing how trash they are at the starting point
The Trans Am would be better if they made it like smoky in the bandit not hit because that's a completely different generation of Firebird
I used to love the game they had for the Wii
lol Sotic Stick is very funny
