I'm not much of a car guy, but I've been "getting" episodes of the US, and now UK, show, and it's just hilarious how ridiculous some of these cars can get.

I mean, what's the bet that half these cards get stolen a week afterwards? Last week they added 4 monitors into the god damn BUMPER! They're going to be stolen far before they get the chance to get scratched to hell :lol :lol . They added 3 PSPs and 3 Xbox consoles last year. The cars are ticking time bombs! :D

Anyone got a figure as to how much money they put into each car? They'd probably get quite a bit for free from companies etc, but It would surely cost a pretty penny.

And is Westwood the biggest try hard douchebag in the world, or is it just me?
 
I'd get my car "pimp'd" and sell it right away. Then I'd buy myself a 1999 Prelude. :P (I think that was the year before they changed to the shitty 2002-esque model.
 
Tim Westwood = 50 year old white man who tries to be a 20 year old black man.

PMR UK is an embarassment, it'll get cancelled after this season I imagine. I watched the first episode and laughed the entire way through. The fake West Coast Customs we've got going in is pathetic, a bunch of whiney, annoying white people trying to be cool. Eurgh.

Everyone needs to go to the PMR UK MTV site to see Westwood's video intro just so you can see what a douche he is.
 
I'm just glad PMR UK isn't going fucking stupid in the electronics section. This week they had a Truck which you can't fit a fucking thing in anymore due to all the crap in it.

:lol I just realized they never put in a security system for these cars. The show's probably stealing them back and selling them off.

actually, there have been quite a few of these cars that have shown up on eBay soon afterwards (i believe in their contract they have to keep the car for a certain amount of time before they can sell it).

i love how they "pimp" the car aesthetically, but do nothing performance wise. theyll pu $20,000 worth of car electronics/bodywork, but leave the 95hp 1.3l 4cylinder engine with 200k miles on it and the rear drum brakes to help stop the extra 500lbs in stereo.
 
have anyone seen pinp my ride UK yet. its absolutely brutal, worst thing ive seen in ages, the host tries to be xzibit but its doesnt work. the crew who pimp the cars are the most boring bunch of people ive seen, a bucket of cement has more personality than them.
 
is it just me or does xzibit have these constant look on his face like "yeah... i can't believe i'm doing this shit... again."

or

"you're a fucking idiot" in reference to some of the participants.
 
My favorite one is the Cutlass they painted green, that was sweet.
 
The best ep is still the ep where they put a chandelier in a car. Only one person seemed to like the idea but they did it anyway and it looked terrible.

1. The square-light Prelude was introduced in 1998, and discontinued after 2001
2. Fuck you. I love that car. :P

Tim Westwood? He's pretty much single-handedly behind the popularity of hip-hop in the UK. He started out playing a hip-hop show on a local London radio show in the mid-80s, and has taken it from there (he now has the most famous hip-hop show on national radio in the country for the BBC). He has a huge amount of respect from the US hip-hop community as he's the one who breaks a lot of their records in the UK, and is pretty close to being "hip-hop royalty" here.

What makes it all the more amusing is his Dad is a priest. And yes, he is a bit of a joke to people at large, but he's a very rich, very successful one. More here.
 
I cant get enough of PMR and I have no idea why and yes Xzhibit is great, I love when he first sees the cars :lol
 
Remmber the first season compare those to this seasons no comparison at all. In the first season they used to just add one tv and a paint job and a few other small things. Now they just add things because they can like 10 tvs in one car.

:lol :lol What the fuck!

The kid won't be able to HEAR after a week.
 
I saw an episode of Judge Mathis were some kid was sueing him friend for stealing the turn table out of his car that the guys on Pimp my ride put in. I was like WTF why do you need a turn table in your freking car.

the funniest episode was when they put bucket seats in this dude's car, and one of the mechanics (i think the guy who did that xbox 360 promo) was showing him the driver's side part of the car, and he says, "(name), we got you the bucket seats, we got you the racing experience, so we had to get you the removal steering wheel, just like in the real racers. you just snap this baby off when you leave your car, and bam, no one's gonna even think about taking your ride."

then out of the blue xhibit says, "what if they have one of those steering wheels?"

the mechanic looks at him really pissed off and xhibit just does his fucking hilarious giggle laugh that makes me laugh every fucking time

I like that it even had some system in the front that'd tell you to turn it down before it'll start hurting your ears.

That's one of my favorite cars. What is this "2002-esque" model you speak of? The only thing I can think of is the RSX...which was supposed to replace the Prelude and the Integra.

It's like we're the same person.
 
uh, the 5th gen prelude was the last. honda traded it for a roadster which is like a hundred times more sporting. maybe you've heard of it.
 
They completly changed the motor of one of the car in a show I saw lately. We're seeing non stop reruns of that show here in Quebec

I have a '98 :D They're awesome cars. My BF had a '96 for a while and he doesn't like the square headlights on the 5th gens. I get lots of slack for it :P Screw him! My car is better than his WRX anyway. I just wish I had waited until they had the georgeous blue ones in 2000.

PMR put a fish tank in one girl's car. Some of the stuff they do is nuts. I wouldn't want them messing with my vehicle :lol
 
Xzibit is a cool guy, I'd hang with him. I swear he's flat out tore up stoned though when they tape the shows.

But then, if I had to drive people's shitty cars and watch them get remodeled all day and had millions I'd probably keep myself in a semi-retarded state of pot haze myself.

Oh, and anyone who thinks they don't choose the cute girls just so X can tap that shit is foolin' themselves.

Thats why I like Xzibit, he's got the life I want. Using bribery to get free tail plus being stoned all the time.

Ahahaha, you have go to be kidding. The guy with the old station wagon Maxima? That asshole tried to sell it on eBay and then came to Maxima.org to sell it there...man did he get flamed there.
 
My old roommate used to watch this from time to time. Last episode I saw had this Vietnamese chemistry major who essentially lived in this shitty 1988 Dodge Caravan get pimp'd. They used an absolutely garish paint scheme and like gold rims that looked flat out awful. They added some reclining chair in the back with color-changing waterfalls as well as a Vaio laptop AND normal PC monitor AND a 20 or so inch TV. Also since the dude played badminton, they put a shuttlecock launcher in the back. What I found funny though is that the guy was like a total nerd, and when they showed him the ride, he was like "OMGWTFBBQ" and you could see in the other mechanics faces how annoyed they were. :lol

Those chicks are nasty because its real people. I'm pretty sure X can tap hotter ass than people with shitty cars and dead end jobs.

Man that UK guy sucks. Why don't they just show the US version and tell them the right side of the road to drive on.

They always put new security systems into the cars. Ever since the 1st episode. They even show off some of the features on ocassion.

If I see someone stealing someone else's car and the alarm goes off. I'm not going to stop them.

And that Jackhammer sub is so retards can jerkoff at a big subwoofer at car shows, better/cheaper than a booth babe and nobody cares if you take an upskirt. You would need at least 4 amps to power that thing alone and a huge alternator to keep it going if you actually wanted to drive.
 
I agree with the sentiments that the show has gotten ridiculous in the second season. It's almost like they try and get away with the most stupid stuff ever on purpose. A bowling ball washer in the trunk? Shitty ass waterfalls and stuff in the back of a van? A fucking jacuzzi in the back of another van? Who the hell actually uses that stuff.

The 2 things that makes this show (besides Xzibit, because he's hilarious) are Ish and Mad Mike. Ish, if he's even still on, because when he explains what he did in the car it's completely incoherent and absolutely hysterical. I swear in one episode he said "We got the orange, leather piiiiping." Mad Mike is great because of how pumped up he gets about the stupidest shit ever. "We gonna put a fireplace IN YOO CAAHHHHH." I can't wait until they put a toilet or something like that in someones car and he flips out about that, because you know it's happening eventually.

The Jackhammer needs 6 amps to be powered.
 
I love the show, its really good, but they overdo everything. How many moniters does a person need in a car? They also put some of the monietrs in some of the most rediculous places like a bumper. You could live in some of those cars. There was this one girl who had a 4x4 and they gave her everything, she had atleast 5 or 6 moniters,a water fountain, a sound system, a make up and accessories area, a shoe storage area and more!
 
For a tv show about 'pimping' anything, it requires at least 1 black man. A bunch of british guys (one that looks like an emo band member) is not cutting it.

Edit: I LOVED the Escort they turned into something that resembled a BMW, but they do get carried away.

And WHAT THE FUCK? I'm looking through the UK's... and they did a fucking HEARSE?!
