Product Description Sup playa? Having much luck acquiring digits in your strategically-rusted '84 Gremlin? We thought not. Pimp My Ride will blow your doors off when we show you how to transform your tired old hatchback into a full-fledged, fully-loaded pimp chariot. Pimp Master of Ceremonies Xzibit will take unsuspecting victims and their busted, poor excuses for transportation and turn them into profiling' works of customized art in the Complete First Season of this hilarious MTV series. Actors: Xzibit Special Features: Full Frame Format. Language: English Year: 2004 Runtime: 295 minutes. .com Hosted by rapper Xzibit, Pimp My Ride is not your mother's car improvement program. It's more like a hip-hop Queer Eye for the Straight Guy--with autos and automotive experts--than, say, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Or as the theme song puts it, "So you wanna be a playa / But ya wheels ain't fly / Ya gotta hit us up / To get a pimped out ride." In each installment, Xzibit, aka "X to the Z," hooks up with the crew at L.A.'s West Coast Customs: Ryan (owner), Q (manager), Mad Mike (electronics), Big Dane (accessories), Aren (paint and body), Ish (interiors), and Alex (wheels and tires). The California-based car owners selected as subjects range in age from 18-24 and most are students on a limited budget. All have rides in need of some serious pimping. Take the ride featured in the first episode: Wyatt's 1988 Daihatsu Hi-Jet. The musician's "micro-van" is held together with duct tape, sheet metal, and calking. Friend Nathan describes it as "a toaster rolling on donuts." You won't recognize it when the West Coast crew gets finished with it. Now it's tricked out with silver flames, big rim tires, video monitors, a wraparound couch, a refrigerator, a DVD changer, an MP3 player, and a boomin' stereo system. It's the same for every ride they pimp: Mary's 1967 Ford Mustang, Jared's 1985 Ford Ranger, Danelle's 1981 Pontiac Trans Am, Neil's 1974 Chevy "Luv" Truck, Krissy's 1969 Volkswagen Baja Bug, etc. The first season of Pimp My Ride features 15 rides, all transformed from pathetic hunks of junk into slammin' wheels with crazy extras like turntables, ping pong tables, espresso makers, chandeliers, and lava lamps. The show quickly became MTV's most popular next to The Real World and was renewed for several more seasons. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Hot rides and great fun!
You have to love these guys! What makes this show work is not just the incredible remade cars, but the fun the guys of West Coast Customs have in pimping this cars, trucks and vans into fabulous rides. Xzibit is great fun to watch, there doesn't seem to be a mean bone in his body, as he pokes fun at the kids and the state their rides have devolved into. The body and interior work is briskly shown, not focusing on a wingnut here or 3/32 of an inch there, as is the case with other car and chopper shows on television these days. It is the big picture that counts, a vehicle that captures the imagination of the owner and viewer alike, customizing the auto to suit the nature of the owner. One is only left to wonder at the price tag of these recreations. There are many marvelous moments and the show still seems as fresh as ever, inspiring many copycat shows such as one in Italy where they pimp motor scooters, if you can imagine that.

My 41 year old husband bought this...
My husband bought this. I have no clue why...I got an alert that this was purchased on my account and called assuming I had been hacked. I had...by a middle aged man who like to watch Xzibit fix up cars that technically should have been in a land fill years ago. And he knows the theme song so whenever we do any DIY project around the house he says "You gotta PIMP my RIIIIIIDDEEE". Ugh. It makes him happy though, so I am cool with it. Plus I think Xzibit was in the movie 8 mile and I liked that movie so overall, good purchase babe.
