Today I went off the deep end and bought a 1999 Dodge Caravan that was used in the super popular, early 2000s MTV show "Pimp My Ride." It hasn't really withstood the test of time though. At least it was cheap, right?

The owner knew from the start.... The whole show was fake and totaly staged. They would film the "reactions" of the owners several times, often after they had already seen the end result, and the owners were advise to make a big fuss and look estupidly happy... Even the reactions to the owner finding out they had been chosen to get the tunning were fake... some even filmed in the house of a member of the staff, when the owner place was not "addecuated" to receive the visit in a way that would look cool... like if the owner lived in an apartment, or a place they couldnt film. Also the tuning was fake... they only did visual upgrades, often at the cost of the car even being viable to drive, hence why many ended like this van. It literaly was all paint and glitter.

Moral and ethical dilemmas of the show aside, Pimp My Ride is such a nostalgia trip for me, being that I was born in 95. All those old MTV and VH1 shoes were so damn good, the peak of braindead cable television. Watching this video made me want to compile a list a bunch of those old shows I grew up watching, pirate them, and go on a nostalgia bender watching them all again. Pimp My Ride, Jackass, Viva La Bam, Wild Boys, Flavor of Love, Punk’d, Cribs, Room Raiders, Rob and Big, Next, Parental Control, Date My Mom, Hogan Knows Best, Celebrity Paranormal Project, etc… damn, it might’ve all been brain-mush, but at least it was fun. Today the garbage that replaced these shows isn’t even fun.

the issue with Pimp My Ride was mainly the fact that they added all this luxury nonsense (which a lot of the time it was controlled by a guy off camera w/ a laptop, and not even real), but on top of that, they ignored actual mechanical problems the vehicles had. So if you got on to pimp my ride and your engine was bad, you might come back w/ the same car with a dvd player and a soda making machine in the back or w/e, but the engine will still be bad.

I think it's funny that some people are replying that the stuff wasn't stolen because it was outdated. Please, people will steal anything. Someone stole an ancient ipod video out of my friend's glovebox recently. They also stole some generic sunglasses she got from walgreens and a broken plastic baby toy. She laughed and said someone did her a favor. Normal people might not want the stuff in that van but a crackhead would think they won the lottery.

After seeing this one with all the gizmos left lying inside, i suspect these cars weren't even picked up by the so-called owners and were abandoned the second filming was completed.
