@@andrewnorris5415 i watched this show all the time when I was little, mainly cause I loved cars, and 7 year old me thought these flashy modifications were so cool
My idea is taking a car and change a few things. A friend I know owns a Dodge Swinger and he replaced the standard rims with a set of OE (original equipment) rally wheels. I bought a 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager and did it with a set of alloy wheels which are OE.
Early 2000's and whatnot. Almost any car looked similar if it had some "mods" thrown at it. Very Fast and Furious, but again, early 2000's. We've come a long way since then Ahahaha.
The amount of weight all those features would add to the car, sometimes bass systems or large tvs, would for me make the cars unwieldy and possibly dangerous to drive with some of the external features. Especially if they're older cars where the transmission and engine is already half dead.
Really? I always knew. Discovery had a show called Overhaulin', which was basically this but more real, no stupid excess shit, they took a kinda dying car and made it a jewel. After watching that, I always felt like this was bullshit. Turns out it actually was lol.
"Pimping" is literally just that, make it look good, problem with people is... "Well, why not fixing my tranny while at it?" I used to work on cars and a lot of people LIVE for free shit. Now, before people go crazy, it doesn't take away the fact that the parts were shitty...
All the music they played was wack anyways. Targeted a emo teens and wannabe rappers like those who would become the 6x9 or lil pump. Real shit was in the 90s.

California doesn't do vehicle inspections, only emissions on 76 and newer. Hence why they never fixed up engines on newer cars. Follow up series on my channel, I got my wife on the show, we still have her car.
I knew this is EXACTLY how it was. I was like “They’re paying for a rental?” And look at the stupid aesthetics instead of having a car that will actually be reliable. Such a good/stupid show. It was classic but impractical af.
you should see the German version of "pimp my Fahrrad (bicycle)" ... it was far worse ... i saw like only 3 episodes ... NONE of those bicycles were driveable ... least of all safe for the streets ... x.X
My 1988 IROC Z was chosen for Pimp My Ride. I turned it down while on the phone with them. The conditions were that I had to take my car to every single car show within so many states and set it out as advertisement for their sponsors. At the time there was no way I could fulfill this request since I worked all weekends, but I understood their interest in it. Seeing this video makes me glad I didn’t subject my car to their shenanigans
Not doubting you, was this with WCC or GAS? I got my wife on the show with GAS and there was no such requirement. We would have said no as well as we work a lot. Even then.
@@slxmmed5696 never heard of a joke? Of course I know what's "y'all" it means you all...relax people, I use that slang myself...y'all need to fk'n relax...
Yeah, like that one time a “19 year old girl” lived alone in a 3 story house and half the walls looked like they were made of glass. The place was so empty it looked like a p*rn set...not that I know what they look like or anything.
I remember one episode where they had a footballer on.. and the house he showed was a regular suburban apartment! Seriously they all looked nervous af like the show was struggling financially 😂😂
The nostalgia.. used to watch the show all the time with my school friends back in the day and then we drew out some car concepts on papers at school and dreamed of becoming car mechanics and having a shop :D Well at least one of my school friends did and has fulfilled his dream for years now fixing cars from bad condition to some good cars and myself i went on the be obsessed with motocross bikes :D time flies.
Around the same time, there was ‘Overhaulin’ which at least fixed everything, but you had to be tricked into believing your ride was stolen... you know, for dramatic reasons?
Ian Daniels That’s why we installed this grappling hook with an electrical winch! When the engine is dead, just latch onto something ahead of you and pull your way home in feet per hour.
@@DragonChasm it was only for views, the owner walked away with nothing, so yea it's fucked! Shit with good sound even if engine blows it could become a yard boom box , shit that's what I would do.
From what I've read, Jake couldn't simply sell the car as MTV made him sign some paper prohibiting him from listing the car on ebay etc. The folks who made the jackhammer subwoofer that was installed in the car ended up buying the whole car from him.
All those "reality" shows are fake/staged/ exaggerated. The sooner people learn that, the sooner they stop giving so much credit to people like the Kardashians.
@Jabbadaba ahhhdadaah Or are they being made because people watch. Stop watching and they'll stop making them. I think the only one I watched and thought it was as real as it gets is Deadliest catch. They may have created some drama for the show but it's hard to fake the rest of it. Most of the "reality" shows are comical with their made up drama.
As a kid, I watched Pimp My Ride. I already knew who Xzibit was even before that show but he was the best thing about it. As an adult, I still have a soft spot for Pimp My Ride but those cars were.... outrageous. I remember one episode where this woman was a crying wreck when she answered the door to see Xzibit, I even remember one where this dude started going hyper, even bear hugging Xzibit, picking him up and all that. Then later on there was a Pimp My Ride videogame that had nothing to do with the show other than Xzibit who was the only redeeming factor about that game.
When I was a kid I used to think these pimped cars looked cool, but now they just look ridiculous.
I've never thought they were cool.
I used to think they looked ridiculous, now they look even more so.

the golden age of MTV was idk......when they fucking played music videos.
This narrator sounds like every aussie news reporter
Not quite out of high school
I knew this is EXACTLY how it was. I was like “They’re paying for a rental?” And look at the stupid aesthetics instead of having a car that will actually be reliable. Such a good/stupid show. It was classic but impractical af.
you should see the German version of "pimp my Fahrrad (bicycle)" ... it was far worse ... i saw like only 3 episodes ... NONE of those bicycles were driveable ... least of all safe for the streets ... x.X
@@keennickolas8575 you ever see the show “Shrimp My Ride” ? They would fill the cars with shrimp and cocktail sauce
not gonna lie , i used to love this show as a kid , but now i'm even more disappointed
yep me 2
when you find out that candies are made of animals remains
@@SuperWeedPower lol
More fake tv pretending to be real. Time to cancel your cable people.....it is worthless to pay for these things.
Me: types in Pimp My ride in Google
Google: did you mean Rice
You mean Google: Pimp my ride | Bing: Rice my car
My 1988 IROC Z was chosen for Pimp My Ride. I turned it down while on the phone with them. The conditions were that I had to take my car to every single car show within so many states and set it out as advertisement for their sponsors. At the time there was no way I could fulfill this request since I worked all weekends, but I understood their interest in it. Seeing this video makes me glad I didn’t subject my car to their shenanigans
Not doubting you, was this with WCC or GAS? I got my wife on the show with GAS and there was no such requirement. We would have said no as well as we work a lot. Even then.
@@Brainshatterer I don’t remember. Was around the years 2008-2009
@@mikerowland1701 PMR ended in 07. Are you sure it wasn't overhaulin? I did hear they did that with the people's cars on that one.
I'm glad that dude at the end turned out alright. The orange truck was one of the better builds they had.
The show was called pimp my ride not "fix my ride"
STFU you're probably one of those clowns who says cinema sins is satire instead of seeing the fact that they suck at their job.
💀💀
Exactly！
Literally just commented the same shit haha
I bet you felt so clever typing that
Oh so this is the main reason why Xzibit and his show went totally broke.
2020 version 'You got diagnosed wit corona, so we installed a sick Chinese guy in your car'
I was going buy a beat up car on purpose just so my friends can put me in pimp my ride
Y’all late as hell on this LMFAO.
Y'all all? You all all?
Someone pimp his vocabulary🤙🏾🤙🏾
Should pimp smack the people in the comment section..😎🖐🖐🖐
@@MTX671 What's so hard to understand on his comment ?
@@slxmmed5696 never heard of a joke? Of course I know what's "y'all" it means you all...relax people, I use that slang myself...y'all need to fk'n relax...
They did the same thing when those celebrities were showing 'their' cribs.
Yeah, like that one time a “19 year old girl” lived alone in a 3 story house and half the walls looked like they were made of glass. The place was so empty it looked like a p*rn set...not that I know what they look like or anything.
Yeah, British singer Robbie Williams didn't claim he owned the mansion but the show had to make it appear like he owned it
Redmans was genuine and the best
I remember one episode where they had a footballer on.. and the house he showed was a regular suburban apartment! Seriously they all looked nervous af like the show was struggling financially 😂😂
"Yo, we heard you have COVID-19 so we removed all the windows so you can breathe all the fresh air you want."
We need a “pimp my wife”
DB 007 *pump
One show in eu did that lol, I think it was in Bosnia 😂
Ever watch robot chicken on adult swim? They beat you to it man
Search it on RUclips, there's a comedy skit about it
Why she may end up looking better. But she will still be a pain in the ass, and have same internal problems.
The nostalgia.. used to watch the show all the time with my school friends back in the day and then we drew out some car concepts on papers at school and dreamed of becoming car mechanics and having a shop :D
Well at least one of my school friends did and has fulfilled his dream for years now fixing cars from bad condition to some good cars and myself i went on the be obsessed with motocross bikes :D
time flies.
Jake: I need a new muffler
Pimp my ride: we're gonna throw 4 12 inch subwoofers and a espresso machine
Someone tell Justin the shows called pimp my ride not fix my ride 😂🥴
Around the same time, there was ‘Overhaulin’ which at least fixed everything, but you had to be tricked into believing your ride was stolen... you know, for dramatic reasons?
Plus, all their 'styling' looked fashionable for about a week, then was just naff af.
Contestant:my engine is shot
Host:we put a mechanical arm in the car that plays the triangle!
Me:why?
Ian Daniels
That’s why we installed this grappling hook with an electrical winch! When the engine is dead, just latch onto something ahead of you and pull your way home in feet per hour.
I always felt that there was something fishy about putting insane amounts of money for "free" to random strangers.
"Darrell loves golfing, so we crushed his car in a trash compactor and gave him a golf-cart"
It's 2019, why do we need a RUclips video to remind us that reality television is 99% staged? Was that not obvious 10-15 years ago?
Actually there's been a few times where they replaced a motor or straight up replaced the car
A few times they also replaced the owner of the car.
Hot Kitchen a few times they replaced there dicks and surgically produced pussies where there dicks should be
@@nickybaby9405 I remember those episodes
I didn't like them taking the stuff out of the car after. That's dirty.
Gray Wolf yeah forget not fixing engines or transmissions, but taking out the TVs that were going to break a few days anyway? Blasphemous
@@DragonChasm it was only for views, the owner walked away with nothing, so yea it's fucked! Shit with good sound even if engine blows it could become a yard boom box , shit that's what I would do.
Gray Wolf makes sense.
The cotton candy thing would have me heated. Who the F would really want to lose their trunk for that?
So adding a fake exhaust, makes ur car sound cooler? Makes total sense😑
just like the vroombox lmao
From what I've read, Jake couldn't simply sell the car as MTV made him sign some paper prohibiting him from listing the car on ebay etc. The folks who made the jackhammer subwoofer that was installed in the car ended up buying the whole car from him.
All those "reality" shows are fake/staged/ exaggerated.
The sooner people learn that, the sooner they stop giving so much credit to people like the Kardashians.
@Jabbadaba ahhhdadaah
Or are they being made because people watch.
Stop watching and they'll stop making them.
I think the only one I watched and thought it was as real as it gets is Deadliest catch.
They may have created some drama for the show but it's hard to fake the rest of it.
Most of the "reality" shows are comical with their made up drama.
As a kid, I watched Pimp My Ride. I already knew who Xzibit was even before that show but he was the best thing about it. As an adult, I still have a soft spot for Pimp My Ride but those cars were.... outrageous. I remember one episode where this woman was a crying wreck when she answered the door to see Xzibit, I even remember one where this dude started going hyper, even bear hugging Xzibit, picking him up and all that. Then later on there was a Pimp My Ride videogame that had nothing to do with the show other than Xzibit who was the only redeeming factor about that game.
Pimp my ride more like rice my ride
So you wanna be a player but your wheels dont fly
You gotta hit us up to get a riced out ride
YOU GOTTA RICE MY RIIIIIIIIIIDE
lol
More like rice my hoopty!!
@@ahjabdxadgaihdw catchy
