I don't watch much MTV but I do enjoy Pimp My Ride, where they take a wreck of a car and really trick it out. My thought is why not have someone totally trash out their TSX and get MTV to Pimp it out? No I don't think I will volunteer my car, I just come up with the ideas!

TonyFresh

The number one reason i wouldnt do it..I was watching one episode and my eyes fell across a APC sterring wheel..

MTV's Pimp My Ride = Tons of Crappy Leftover New parts nobody in their right mind would want.

That show is so utterly tasteless, it's sickening. Mods should look classy, not make the thing look like a shiny overdone piece of crap. This is why ricers often look like such complete morons.

Usually Highschoolers that cant afford the goods...so they go for Knockoff products such as APC...thats why they stay in business.

I learned really fast about rice in highschool b/c i was workin at a Acura Dealership at the time.. I SAW THE LIGHT ITR..ooo i miss soo much ALL MOTOR N/A:'(

APC = American Piece of Crap.....
Never trust anything domestically made when it comes to vehicles.

Edit: except Injen intakes anyways........

the whole show is a play on words of the old 70's cadi's and other hoopties that were "pimped" out. its kinda a joke. Jacked up rides with 20 inch chrome and suede all over the place. I like the show cause i love houw the people react to their new hooptie.

TonyFresh

took the words right out my mouth....except for that civic with racing stripes

TSX CSI

and some of the people are so fucking ungrateful, the one kid looked at his wheels, saw they weren't spinners, made and comment, and was like thats alright. i mean come on at least show some kind of gratitude, they turned your piece of shit into a somewhat decent car, blows my mind

KingV

Agreed on ungrateful, though that Cutty was actually the only one I liked. An '82 Cutty would probably die if it tried to accelarate and brake with 150 lbs at each corner. IMO, that was one car that actually looked "right" pimped out.

The purple civic with the racing stripes and vertical doors was the worst.... vehicle... ever.

I don't understand how those things still drive? They don't do anything to the engine. What's the point of wasting all that money making the car look "good" when it won't drive?

TSX 'R' US

I was flipping though channels a couple days ago and I was wondering that when I saw them working on a Mitsubishi from the 90's. They even put a fish tank in the rear!!

KingV

yeah, I can just imagine having a really nice looking car that burns oil and sounds like a piece of ass.

DEVO

i thought the mustang came out looking ok.

DEVO

i thought the mustang came out looking ok. anybody notice that the girl when she found out her ride was getting pimped, knocked over the camera guy as she charged through the door?

TSXtc

I saw the one too with the Mitsubishi Mirage and the fish tank in the back. I just thought about the fish when he goes around a corner! Poor little guys!

Mr. T

I am still wondering if they put some sort of heater or cooler in the fish tank. If not those fish aren't going to be alive too long.

there's a show on the discovery called over haul. it looks like it's going to be a better version of pimp my ride.

I saw the commercial for "Overhaul" and you're right, it does have a similar concept to "Pimp My Ride". Of course, the difference lies in that TLC got none other than custom car designer Chip Foose to work on the cars. That alone makes the show more credible. If you've ever seen some of the cars that Foose does, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, check out the Grand Master on his website. It's stunning.

has the classic mustang episode of 'pimp my ride' aired yet? let's hope they don't bastardize that one as well. the purple civic seriously made me sick.

DEVO

yeah, the mustang aired already. by far the best job.

what i don't get, is how the hell did she or any of the other rides get an inspection sticker. your dead without one where i live.
