Pimp My Ride

You ever watch MTV's "Pimp My Ride?"

Every show is exactly the same:

A struggling, young man or woman asks MTV to fix up their car. Used-to-be-rapper Xzibit shows up at their house. The men give him a chest bump or pick him up. The women proceed to rape and molest him. Then they show their vehicle to Xzibit, who goes through the car, pointing out that it's a piece of shit.

Xzibit then drives the dilapidated vehicle to West Coast Customs. When he pulls up, the West Coast staff runs around, screaming in shock over the vehicle's condition. This has to be stock footage, because it is exactly the same every time.

The team of painters, sound technicians and body guys then goes to work, filling these $200 shit-mobiles with thousands of dollars of stereos, video screens, wheels, video games, aquariums, hair dryers and other ridiculous crap.

They must think that these kids live in their cars. One girl said she was into yoga so they convert the back of her jeep into a yoga studio. Another guy likes to bowl so he gets a bowling ball polisher in his trunk. WTF? I like to drink - could I get a beer tap in my dashboard? (actually, hmm....)

Also these people usually live in bad neighborhoods. I wonder how long it takes a 20-inch plasma TV mounted in the back of a Ford pickup to get ripped off.

For all those times you want to hustle someone in a Wal-Mart parking lot.




Video monitors by the wheels
So you can watch movies while passed out on the street.




Aquarium
How long are these fish really going to live?

A spring loaded tube dispenses cans of energy drink. There's nothing more refreshing on a summer day than getting into your hot car and drinking some warm Red Bull.



Bowling ball return
WTF?

Slam on the brakes - instant mess.

i've often wondered if the "contestants" or "lucky sucks" or "what the heck ever they are" just go to a u-pull-it lot and fashion together the worst bucket possible then write in about their sucky life. the cars they re-vamp are like cartoons.
