'Pimp My Ride' Puts New Spin on Makeovers

Submitted by: kirkland on Friday June 11th, 2004 at 11:51 PM EST

Turn on a television set at any given time and something is being made over: a room (TLC's "Trading Spaces"), a house ("ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition") or even a human being (Fox's "The Swan").

But leave it to MTV — which ushered in the reality TV era more than a decade ago with "The Real World" — to put its own spin on the makeover show with "Pimp My Ride," a weekly series that transforms broken-down autos into tricked-out masterpieces.

The half-hour show, whose season finale airs Sunday at 9:30 p.m. EDT/PDT, has been a solid addition to MTV's lineup of original programming, consistently winning its time slot in the 12-to-34 demographic against basic cable competition.

Hosted by rapper and car enthusiast Xzibit and featuring Los Angeles-area aftermarket shop West Coast Customs, "Pimp My Ride" selects young, automotively challenged Southern Californians and transforms their jalopies into triumphs.

"Everybody has had a bucket in their life," said Xzibit, using L.A. slang for a clunker. He has had two of his own rides — a Hummer H2 and a Mercedes-Benz S500 — "pimped" at West Coast Customs.

A typical episode begins with Xzibit paying a surprise visit to the viewer and humorously highlighting the car's numerous problem areas. Then it's off to West Coast Customs, where a team of professionals disassembles the vehicle and completely refurbishes it with custom rims and paint, plush interiors and the latest in lighting, car audio and video accessories.

Not only has the show been a winner for the network, it also has been so for West Coast Customs, which has seen an upturn in business since the show's debut in March.

I like the show. Tough luck I live on the East Coast. I knew West Coast was getting good business, now I know the average joe has to be walking in there. Congrads to MTV and West Coast for a winner.

Xibit... What...

I was just flipping through the channels when your show popped up i was like whoa that's killah.. you can get your car pimped right out by xibit himself wow!!! K.. well here goes my plea I'm a 19 year old., student in canada(pretty unlikely you would ever come here to pimp out the cars) but i got this 1989 Honda that needs your help!! i've been trying to maintain my baby but it looks like it needs some professionals and all!!! I've worked incredibly hard for this car adn i wanna keep it forever bu tnow i'm starting to look for a actually really job since i'm graduating this year from college i kinda need that extra perk you know to boost my self esteam .... If you could help me out.. and PIMP my CAR it' would be greatly appreciated!
#10.1 By mitch101js (mitch101js) on Aug 28th, 2004 14:30
Xzibit its really over the top what you do for all these
kids,its something I see myself doing if I ever would be in that position.Your a classy guy.
I have a true story here to tell u about a ride that u
probably would want to take a little extra pimpn time for

This ride was bought at a auction by my dad.My siter bought a mini van at the auction so they both drove there vehicles for awile until my sister decided she
wanted to trade vehicles.That was okay but a few extra $$
were required.The trade was on.She drove it and the motor went boy we got probs now.They didnt talk for a bit there cause my dads contracts are like sold were is as is.So over a month my sister got over this.
So my dad had the car for a few months and my sister for longer.
So in 1994 my cousin was getting married in holland so my sister and i decide to suprise my big family there.
Before we left we both said bye to my dad in a hospital were he shouldnt have been in.He was usually in Abbotsford in a hospital specially for Depression for years.He was on heavy meds but he still reconized us.I cant forget that ,My sister and I didnt know that hug was the last .
So we went to Holland supprised alot of the family its on Video somewhere and the day of the wedding we decided to suprise the bride and groom(my cousin) who visited Canada prior .The expresssion priceless.
So the wedding ,reception was soo cool.That night we all
went to bed worn out from dancing and running around like a bunch of crazy flying Dutchmen.
That night my Uncle woke me up and and I knew before he even said anything I screamed no and cried so hard.My uncle tried to console me and I thought Miriam is she OK
She was staying at another relatives,so my Uncle drove me there so I could tell her.She was sleeping I woke her
and she looked at me and knew right away.I later found out my Dad got a day release from the hospital and was home thats were my mom had to cut him down from the tree in front of the house.It was to late.
We went directly home that morning with my Aunt and Uncle
to a funeral to be with family (mom ,sister and brother)
I was never the same to this day. One year later,
My sister Miriam who had three kids with her husband Me and her were close I lived there at the time with the kids.Her husband had left her with her friend and lived together. They didnt last and thats when my sister was
going on with her life and his was in shambles he decided
to kill her(my sister) and her boyfriend.
So to say the least life for me has been day to day.
Never used to be that way.I guess you call it depression.
Anyway the car is a 88 Mustang convertable its in my name
but to me its still my dads/sisters and her daughter shelly is now 14 years old,
and I would like to pass the car on to her,but its got to be done right by that it seems like your the answer.
I have a couple of short clips to show you (me and my niece)If you could let me know how to get thit to you.

This is obviously a huge sentimental prodject my niece and nephews would just flip.They wont know till its done.
Justin 16,Kyle,15 and Shelly 14
You could take two years to do the pimpn
I sure hope to hear from you.

Sincerly Mitch J.S

Oh my god, damn you xzibit. My car broke down and the engine just blew up while I was on the highway. Something went wrong with the mp3 player you guys hooked up. Something went wrong totally, I cant believe this. I had to wait 3 hours for a tow truck. I'm letting MTV know about this immediately.
#12 By jW (jw) on Jul 8th, 2004 08:07
Deven is just joking around... but the rest of you are VERY SAD. Xzibit WILL NEVER PIMP YOUR RIDE if you reply to a comment on a NEWS ARTICLE. If you want your ride pimped, go send a video to MTV about how crappy your ride is and see if they will accept it. This website is not how you get your pimped out G-Wagon.


I just got a flat tire, sorry I am a little mad lol.
#13 By mtejanarodr2 (mtejanarodr2) on Jul 9th, 2004 22:25
I AM A MOTHER FOR 4 ONLY ONE OF MY KIDS FINISHED SCHOOL SHE HAS NOW LEFT TO BOOT CAMP FOR THE MARINES. SHE IS A GOOD GIRL. WE GOT HER A USED CAR AND SHE IS THE ONE THAT HAS PAID FOR IT. BUT THE CAR HAS A LOT OF THING'S WRONG WITH IT AND I WOULD LOVE IF YOU PIMPED HER RIDE BEFORE SHE COMES BACK FROM BOOT CAMP. WE ARE TRYING BUT WE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT IT. IF ANYONE DESERVES THIS SHE DOES.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS.MTEJANARODR2@AOL.COM
#13.1 By jW (jw) on Jul 10th, 2004 02:12
I just talked to X to the Z... he said no because he does not visit this site... this site is not affilated with MTV, West Coast Customs, Xzibit, or your desire to follow the society's latest trend. It's nice to hear that you are pimping her ride already, because that's how far it goes until she gets back.

Sorry it's late and I am bored.
#14 By deven (deven) on Jul 9th, 2004 22:30
Why don't people understand? It's not that hard, not that hard at all.
#15 By cedes (cedes) on Jul 11th, 2004 01:03
My name is Mercedes..and that's about as close as i have come to a pimped ride..i drive a 1993 Mazda Navajo..well..some of the time..B/c i share it and a little black focus..between 4 people going in a million different directions..there usually isn't any extra money for repairs..so my dad has become well acquainted with the art of using duct tape for repairs..the focus had duct tape holding up the window for the longest time..and now the window has broken in the Mazda..my dad is also good at starting projects..but sometimes forgetting to complete the job..so the door pannel is somewhere in the garage..and everything that usually lies beneath is now exposed..the front windshield is covered with huge cracks..and at any time..just may come crashing in..the alignment is so off that you practically have to turn the wheel completely to the left to keep the vehicle on the road..the navajo is barely legal..having only two mirrors..and a make-shift taped up tail light..this vehicle has been passed down..from my sister..to my mom..to my dad..and now to me..it's nice to just have anything to be able to drive..but it would be really nice if you could help me out a bit..it would also take a lot of stress off of my mom b/c she is having to worry about getting me a car before i go to college this fall..(due to the fact that i will be commuting)and it's been hard because her income is the only financial support in the household..thank you for your time..

First if you want to get your ride pimped... you gotta use spell check. Second... you have to get a life and realize this is not the place to ask where you get your ride pimped. Go to MTV.com or some shit.

I do have a Toyato Tercel but rather have the ranchero up and runnig it automic. At the time being Im working on getting my license back cause of foolish behavior getting a ticket then my license suspended. I learned an expensive lesson. and looking to have a running vechile that works properly for traveling. Make me a believer My niece has a 4 Wheel Drive not sure make or model shes in colton california the person who sold the vechile took alot of the most important thing it runs but need work...

#23.1 By jW (jw) on Jul 15th, 2004 16:12
First, you are stupid. Xzibit or MTV WILL NEVER READ THESE REQUEST. Also putting e-mail addresses like that is dangerous... you could get a bunch of spam.
#24 By Mahir (mahirtyson) on Jul 16th, 2004 09:40
Dear Xzibit and West Coast customs,
I have a 1985 drop top 5.0 Mustang GT. I've been trying to fix it up for the longest and financially I can't afford it but, I love my 5.0. The exhaust pipe is cut off, My hood is messed up because the mechanic didn't close it and it flew up and off while I was driving and now it's all f*cked up. Not to add, my rear end locked and I had to get it fixed, so I sold my beat. Now I'm without Music. I am also a full time student in College and playing football. I need to get back and forth to school and I'm having a hard time in this busted up 5.0. I can't even take my girl out in this car. Can you help me out? Please Pimp my Ride...
thanks,
Mahir Tyson (Vallejo,California)

#29 By bms (bms) on Jul 19th, 2004 15:42
I can't believe how people cannot read. How can people pimp your ride when you can't read a simple ARTICLE? Yes, an article, not an entry form.

JW.JW.JW First of ALL do you even live on the West Coast??.... NO!! you live on the fucking East!! You're a loser for living on the other side of the United States and wishing you were living over here. Let me tell you a little something about yourself. You have no hope. Your life is ruined. You are just furious because Xzibit wont pimp your stupid, fucked-up, piece of shit, bucket load. You probably have a permanent bus pass because your fucked up shit wont work. Don't try to front as if Xzibit pimped your shit because he probably wouldn't waste his time on your garbage. In a matter of fact it truly shows that you have no life because you sit here on the internet all day talking about other people's hopes and dreams instead of trying to fullfill your own. What the fuck is up with that? get a fucking grip on your dick and shove it in your mouth, or even keep it in you hand because people are tired of your stupid childish comments for real.... And a matter of fact I'm sure that someone looks at these comments from the West coast customs or Xzibit himself or else the comment box wouldn't be here to write in. At least my car has potential. What kind of car do you have? (DON'T LIE) And another thing, if you yourself went to the MTV website their is no application to sign up for "pimp my ride". Get your shit together before you critize on some elses shit. "CALI for LIFE" WEST COAST
#32.1 By jW (jw) on Jul 20th, 2004 12:13
Oh my god. I can't believe I wasted 2 mintues of my life reading that trash. Are you trying to make this a West vs. East situation? That's how fucking dumb you are. First... like I said like 10 times already... this was just an article about the show. This will NOT GET YOUR RIDE PIMPED. It's not my fault you are so dumb you thought this was a "make a wish and it will never come true" website.

You know nothing about me. You just assume a lot of shit that isn't true. Just shows your stupidity. I can't believe how stupid you really are. You still think that Xzibit is going to pimp your ride... LMAO.
#33 By mtejanarodr2 (mtejanarodr2) on Jul 20th, 2004 10:11
inappropriate comments that is a under statment your not very good with critism .you dont sound like you have a life your name is on here a lot more then any of ours.
#34 By Mahir (mahirtyson) on Jul 20th, 2004 11:21
(mtejanarodr2) My critism is bad to him just like his was bad to others but someone had to let JW know how immature that was to comment on everyone's opinion. Yeah, it was probably immature of me to stoop down to his level but then again it is the internet. Oh, and I do have a life. Plus my name is only on here twice not including now
#34.1 By jW (jw) on Jul 20th, 2004 12:17
LMAO. Don't even worry. You didn't stoop down to my level. You are still in fairy land thinking you are actually getting somewhere. Let me correct you on something. You said "My critism is bad to him just like his was bad to others but someone had to let JW know how immature that was to comment on everyone's opinion."

HAHAHAHAHA. All of my "bad" comments where towards people that made wishes to get their ride pimped. Once I said that they would never get their ride pimped because this was just an article... people kept posting that they wanted their ride pimped. You are just mad because you are too stupid to understand.

Please for the love of god, don't have childern.
#35 By mtejanarodr2 (mtejanarodr2) on Jul 20th, 2004 21:46

I live in Browning Montana and don't get very many oppurtunities up this way. I have a 1971 F-100 sport truck that needs to be pimped. I've had it all my life and just recently got it running my dad gave it to me, because I like the rims. It has some old school rims. You'd have to see them to know what i am talking about.

I live in Browning Montana and don't get very many oppurtunities up this way. I have a 1971 F-100 sport truck that needs to be pimped. I've had it all my life and just recently got it running my dad gave it to me, because I like the rims. It has some old school rims. You'd have to see them to know what i am talking about.
#37.1 By jW (jw) on Jul 20th, 2004 22:08
NO since you double posted and don't know what you are doing!
#37.1.1 By Kirkland (kirkland) on Jul 20th, 2004 22:11
You know, telling people no is just as bad as telling people yes. Now they think that you might be able to pimp their ride, but just being a bastard about it.
#37.1.2 By jW (jw) on Jul 20th, 2004 23:17
I could say almost the same situation for you. If you see that visitors are posting their request, you should be the one stepping up and telling them that it's just an article. Instead of getting their hopes up.
#37.1.3 By deven (deven) on Jul 23rd, 2004 13:43
So true.

Hi I live in San Bernardino Ca. I watch your show and my girls said mom why dont you let them pimp your car ? Well I wish I told them I couldnt get so lucky. My girls are 11 and 12 they said go online and ask them to pimp your car so here I am can you pimp my Bronco 1986 ? PLease
#38.1 By jW (jw) on Jul 21st, 2004 09:12
I guess people have not evolved enough to use the internet correctly. This is not where you submit your wish to have your ride pimped. This was just an article talking about the TV show. Where you leave your comment, is to talk about the article. Not to put your little request in. Do you think it's that easy? I laugh at you.

See I actually went to MTV.com. Clicked on Pimp My Ride. And it says the following:

To be considered, you must:
-Be 18 to 22 years old
-Live in Southern California
-Email us a picture of your car
-Email us a picture of yourself

Sign Up for Pimp My Ride (E-Mail:pmrcasting@mtvstaff.com)

Now please quit being stupid people. I basically handed you the information that took me 3 seconds to find.

I personally havent been a big fan of your show.Truthly I hadnt even watched it till today,but it truely is a kick ass show.I have an old Olsmobile cutlass supreme(1971) that I could only dream of fixing up. We here in Somerset,have a thing called Somernights Criuse.Its only one Saturday out of the month,during the summer season.Its a great opprutunity for people all around the U.S.to get together and show off there hot rods. Come have some fun with us!

Hi kentucky,

I'm glad you are interested in having your ride pimped. My name is Deven and I am an executive from "Pimp My Ride" and we would love to pimp your ride as we were already looking for an Oldsmobile to pimp. However, first you must deposit a sum of money which equals $100 to have Xzibit and the camera crew come to pick you car up. We would appreciate you send this $100 via paypal to hypeddt216[at]aol.com (replacing the [at] with @). Along with this, please send your email so we can contact you back!

Thanks!
#39.1.1 By alfordandgeo (alfordandgeo) on Aug 1st, 2004 20:40
yes,I would like you to pimp my ride, except I live in nc, a very small hillbilly town, I have a 73 mercedes. I am 33 yrs old, but poor,I work in a nursing home and going to school on the internet, struggling, would you cosider to change the rules for a special show thanks
georgia
#39.1.2 By jW (jw) on Aug 1st, 2004 21:04
alfordandgeo... TODAY IS YOUR DAY! We promise to bend the rules backwards for your broke ass. But you have to answer the following questions:

#1: Do you wash old people's asses and other privates?
#2: Does your car smell like fart?
#3: Tell us how many 33 year olds have been on our show
#4: DO YOU WANT THAT RIDE PIMP MY GIGGA!?!?!?!?1
#39.2 By jW (jw) on Aug 1st, 2004 21:02
HEY! Kentucky bro. If you want to get your ride pimp. I will give you my new book "How to get your ride pimped on TV." The book will only cost you $100. Send an e-mail to plasticthug@msn.com.

Only you can prevent forest fires.
#40 By kentucky (kentucky) on Aug 1st, 2004 19:07
WELL I HAD JUST VISITED THE OTHER WEBSITE AND ITS SAYING THAT THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THERE RIDES PIMPED HAVE TO LIVE IN CALF.PLUS BE A CERTAIN AGE ALTHOUGH I AM 27
#41 By deven (deven) on Aug 1st, 2004 21:00
If you guys didn't notice, my above comment about me being from MTV is a joke. This site is not a portal to having your car pimped by Xzibit and Westcost Customs.

YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF FREAKS WITH MESSED UP CARS.

Oh fo sho.
#42 By deven (deven) on Aug 1st, 2004 21:06
If you want your ride pimped, you gotta sleep with me, send me your pictures. my email is above.
#42.1 By deven (deven) on Aug 1st, 2004 21:07
sorry guys, but girls between 18-22 only, please, thanks. ta ta.
#43 By kentucky (kentucky) on Aug 2nd, 2004 08:13
Hey Deven sounds like your the freak!!!
#43.1 By deven (deven) on Aug 2nd, 2004 11:19
Oh fo sho.
#44 By kentucky (kentucky) on Aug 2nd, 2004 08:25
oh and by the way I am a 27 yr old female I didnt think you guys would automatically would stereotype me. I am sure that there is woman that would love to have there cars worked on, especially by some georgous men!!!!!!!!
#44.1 By jW (jw) on Aug 2nd, 2004 14:07
Gotta picture? :-P Nah I didn't know you were a female... but my question is... why did you ask to have your ride pimped after all the other request above you?
#45 By kentucky (kentucky) on Aug 3rd, 2004 18:21
Notice I didnt ask to have ANYTHING of mine touched.I just said it was a dream of mine to fix up my car...and I was inviting anyone on this site to visit Somerset!!!
#46 By forothers (forothers) on Aug 5th, 2004 14:01
Hi! I am not asking for me, but my dad. he always gets used cars.I am wondering if you can pimp his ride. MY DAD IS A GOOD HEARTED MAN.My mom ia good hearted as well.

I'm a mother of one,I live in memphis TN, sofor I have lived here about three years and my husband left me with the wrost car there is. I have a '97 dodge intrepide, and it only been running for 4 months. I have four mismatch tires to when I ride I can't go more than 40 miles an hour without shaking. My driver seat I have to put a piece of board to keep my seat in place. On the passenger side the seat won't stay adjusted and they have to ride on they're on rist. I got one headlight and at night when i want to drive it, I have to hit it three times to make it come on. My brakes scrubbs intil they squeeks.My bumper is sticking out from where I had a hit and run accident. The carpet interior has holes. My driving window went down one day I didn'nt come back up. my seats have all type of stain in it from spill soads, to sour milk. I have a cassest player that play on it own and only way you can cut it off if you stop and cut the car and restart it. Had to walk for 4 months with my two year old to find a job, find a day care, and register myself for school. Its been hard for me but i have made it this for. I know I'm kind of old for this (34 age) but if any body desever there ride to be pimped it could be me so; PLEASE P.I.M.P. MY RIDE

My husband and I just bought 1999 Chrysler Mazda 300 - I TOTALED it less than a month later. It is unrepairable. I then had to buy him a jalopy which he is currently riding around in. He's been such a great guy about this and I feel bad. Is it only west coast area?

Xzibit,

Ever pimped a South African's car. PLEASE PIMP MY SON's beat up 1994 Mustang. Like me he can't afford to even pay attention. We're a family from South Africa and nothing would give me greater joy than see my son happy in a good car again. I do not live in the west put I'll push his car there if I have to help him get a decent ride again.

Good job helping folks!

Hi, my name is rachael and i wanted to come on here and try and get on "pimp my ride" because i want to help my dad get something he deserves.
My dad used to have a 1984 chevy suburban, it ment a hole lot to him. my brother and sister have a band, there name is aggressive persuasion and he used to carry all the band stuff in the back of it for a long time but after a while it was in such disrepear that he had to get rid of it.
Now he has a 1983 ford econoline van that was the bands first touring vechical when they got the money to go on there own. now they have an R.V. and they are out on there own and that van has just about seen it's day to. It's the only car that he has right now and if he dosen't fix it he will soon have to get rid of it to.
PLEASE PIMP MY DAD'S RIDE!!!!!!!!!!

#62 By vero (3amor7) on Aug 25th, 2004 23:54
Now that you have read what I had to say, I would like to comment on the article(which is why this is posted)
I think that West Coast Customes is doing a wonderful job with the show. To bad that I don't live out there. One day though. I do wish that they would have something like that here on the East Coast, you know what I mean. So anyway I will be watching the show like I always do, when I have the time, because I have a life.
#63 By unnicc (unniicc) on Aug 30th, 2004 17:29
Your show is reallllly cooooool. I know a lot of people
appreciate your show, I know I do. Xzibit, I was wondering If you and your crew would be interested in pimping a 1959 caddy limo? I sorry for this could be reallly coool ride. It just sits there wishing I could do something about fixing it up but my pockets broke.
I already lost one caddy out of the set I was collecting. do to the storage space. Xzibit if your into

#65 By sleepless (sleepless) on Aug 31st, 2004 17:19
please pimp my ride, im a 38 year old man. i have been working since i was 15 1/2yrs old, never been without work until now. December 6,2003 i fell off of my big rig tow truck and broke my wrist. Its been down hill (financialy) I don't get enough from workmans comp. My employer used to pay me half cash and half check. So you can emagine workmans comp pays you 2/3 of your pay. my pay was alot more than they show. I had a 2002 Z71 suburban with 22 and a lot of money uner the hood and inside with t.v.'s and system. A new toyota 4runner also fixed up. a 39 foot motorhome,28 foot toybox, a $25,000 sandrail, quads, and my pride and joy a 56 buick special that i've owned since i was 18. sounds like a lot but unfortunately i had to turn the cars in to the dealer and sell my toys and buick to be able to make the house payment. They are even taking out of my workmans comp check my child support from my previous marriage. They do not care that i was borderline of losing my house becouse of getting behind on the payments. I called the court to try to lower the payments until i go back to work they said, no. we finally were able to get a 91 honda accord, its in so so condition but i would love to have it pimped out pleeeeeeeeeeeeassee ;o).

what up x. Please you got to pimp my mans ride. Its all he ever talks about {except in the sac}. Her roof leaks, her exhaust leaks and who knows what else leaks. We're hopeless in Louisiana and barely make enough to fill her tank with gas. We moved here from N.Y.C about a year and half ago so you can imagine the change. He loves his car cause she's so rare he likes her top down so he can drive her bare.
please get back to me sheriemead@yahoo.com
