Pimp My Ride International

December 7 2006 in Blogroll, Web, cars, pimp my ride

I like to watch a show on MTV called Pimp My Ride. Kids from LA who drive old beaters ask MTV to trick out their car. The show is hosted by the rapper Xzibit, who brings the car down to West Coast Customs in Los Angeles. The crew that “pimps” the car includes half a dozen unique characters from LA, including a Mexican named Ish who needs to work on his English and a guy called Alex who has so many rings (including ear, nose, chin, eyebrow etc.) that he would lose half his weight if he took them off.

Anyway, they started an international version (hosted by another, aptly named rapper: Fat Joe). I saw a show where they pimped a Polish guy called Marek’s bland old ’70s communist people’s vehicle (#13,564,897.5 or something). If you looked up “geek” in the dictionary you’d see a picture of Marek. He’s an aspiring chef. Here are before and after pictures of his ride:
