Anyone watch this show? It's about cars being turned from rags to riches.
I used to like this show, until they do some of the most rediculous things to the car. I would not let them touch my car anyday.

I liked it better when the show was new and the cars were being pimped by West Coast Customs. Now they are being pimped by GAS and the show has lost a lot of it's originality.
There is a better show on TLC called Wrecks to Riches (or at least I think that's what it is called) They take old muscle cars from the junk yard and restore them and then sell them at auction.
With Pimp My Ride it's usually just a question of how many tv monitors can they fit into a car. It's getting boring.

TV monitors and stereo systems I hate that Overhallin is a good show also but did they cancel it?

believe it or not, when pmr was really popular here in germany, there even was a show called "pimp mein fahrrad", what means pimp my bike and I do not mean motorcycle...

Too many of the stories seemed like a good-looking person deliberately found the worst vehicle around and then applied to the show to get it pimped out. They didn't really drive those cars in the "before" state.
Everyone in LA is just looking for their big break on TV.
