Im pretty sure thats how they recorded metallicas black album

early 2000s man... a strange time..

@@mrpossum5690 the best time, mtv back in 2000s was amazing

what are you talking about?

Lol yeah and you know that "didn't clock out" shit was some kind of 3rd strike.

I read this and haven't seen the finished product and now I'm out here expecting an ambulance Update: uh oh

@@boojersey13 🤣🤣

99% sure she didnt even worked there, many of the "guesses" we're actors, and those who wasn't they had a script, i mean if theres one or two things that was actually true about the "pimped" people i'm surprised

@@Pedros93 guesses? Guests

@@Pedros93 they were real people, of course you play it up to get picked I mean it’s still a show and you have to be interesting. The producers tell them to focus on one part of their story and that’s their whole personality for the episode lol

Yes!! that's the only episode of this one I remember!

Yup, they gifted him a first generation scion xb

×w

Oh god yes he had like 2 ford escorts Frankensteined together

I remember that too. To this day I still wonder how he managed to get it on the road, much less drive it.

I hope people know that mtv purposely threw weird shit and garbage in their cars… very unlikely her car actually was just full of wrappers

My ex never stopped eating taco bell

​@@MaxW-er1hmthat's racist

@@WilhelmFreidrich why? She knew it wasn't Mexican. Lol.

@@8Shark8To label Taco Bell as Mexican food is a joke in itself.

do you remember what car was it?

source: trust me bro

I believe him. Everyone who’s been on this show has had similar experiences with the cars that got pimped. West Coast Customs only made cosmetic changes the cars. They didn’t fix or improve any existing issues.

Ahhh the good old dead car smoke spot. Mine was a 2008 Cadillac that broke down in my driveway, hot boxed it for like 2 years till I got it towed.

​@@PartnershipsForYou the art hotboxin

They should have gone all in on the holy water.

I think that 'contract' was broken a few times to be honest, I'm pretty sure I saw a post of someone selling one of the cars

@@tomebers8683 oh definitely. There had to have been some clause where you wait a few years or something. I remember seeing a video from a mechanic who bought one of the Pimp My Ride cars

@@BLANCOisacolor there has to be a clause cause you can't just expect me and my family to keep this car forever until it rusts away into dust lol

@@iamepic6726 I'm the producer of MTV I can do whatever the fuck I want. Youre gonna keep the car, and you're going to like it. Now hurry up and bring Xzibit to soccer practice

Like #100

Also, it was in their contracts that everyone had to pretend that Xzibit was funny!!

Most Reality TV is 90% scripted and faked. It would be a lot more challenging for the showrunners to make an episode of Reality TV without have a plot outline planned before the start filming.

There actually was an episode where they said "we can't use this car, we gata go buy this guy a new one!" And they bought him and user car and pimped it out. I wonder if that was their way of kinda hiding what they were doing and covering their own ass. Idk, but fun to think about. Still, such a shitty thing to do to people🤣 like wtf is yall problems??

@@untoldanalytics1259...are you talking about the episode where the guy was literally driving a car that had the frame & body of the vehicle cut in half & welded back together??... Yeah, they had no choice but to get him a new ride. That thing was a death trap!!

@@lurchlogan I have no clue, I was soooo damn young, lmao. It may have been! But either way, they could point to it later like we did this behind the scenes with everyone. Lol.

@@patreoncom_pimpmyriderevisited nah they took one guys tvs out of the car saying it was “unsafe” plenty of cars have tv screens in the backseat

@@patreoncom_pimpmyriderevisited There is videos from people on youtube that were on the show. They explain that some things had to be removed before getting the car back either for safety or because they have to give them back to sponsors.

They actually filmed the reaction scene several times and edited out the best takes .

@@craigalexp Just because it happened to the redhead guy with the large speaker doesn't mean it happened to every part on every car.

It's more like when the engine goes just turn up the volume and let the bass take you 🤦🏽‍♂️

😂😂😂😂😂😂

If you can't hear a problem, there ain't one

Exactly they just basically just turn your car and just try to make it look prettier than the outside but the engine and all the other shit it's going bad they don't give a fuck

True. Without Xzibit the show wouldn't have been half as entertaining. His humor and natural charm were always entertaining to watch amd helperd carry the show even in more awkward and clearly scripted scenes.

And it’s still a dangerous unreliable broken mess that will leave you stranded at any time.

@@rrpostalagain battery would die in like a month lol

Not to mention the fact that a lot of these people seem to live in rough neighborhoods and have to park on the street. The odds of them being able to keep all that junk in their newly “pimped” car for more than a week are basically slim to none.

@@brianbenjamin653 or you would get a couple of flats somewhere

As a teenager I wanted this to happen to me but as an adult *"Hell No!"* The expenses behind those vehicles would be insane if it breaks down or something needs to be replaced..

I liked Tavarish, ''I bought an abandoned Pimp my ride Minivan'' video LOL :p

Oh yeah I watched a bit of it. It’s like uncovering an ancient artifact lol

@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299, I'm pretty sure that was the same van at the beginning of this video. Lol.

I had heard about the fact that it took months and the owner had to rent a car during that time but I hadn't heard of them just buying similar cars to pimp instead. I don't get why the owners would have to rent a car for months if their car wasn't even being worked on

@@charlesw7397 there was one episode I very clearly remember that was literally the car was so busted and by that I mean it was literally two halves of two cars welded together very haphazardly, so they just scrapped it and pimped a newer used car to give to the participant. I think that's what that comment is referring to.

Exactly! I was like... ok but what's the rest of the story? Lol

The story you just mentioned plus the sinner tattoo In the crevice of her arm, where one would shoot up, tells me this lady has opiate epidemic written all over her

Yes they do unfortunately.

@@rell4474 love seeing people shame addicts 🙃

@@rell4474 ive never seen such a baseless accusation

It's true ^

True...they never did work under the hood. A specialist for everything from interior to paint but no mechanical repairs were done.

I think there is a whole subreddit about where most of them ended up. A lot just broke down soon after, and a lot of the stuff they added was shit and stopped working

@@ShMeatWad yeah I've heard about that one. It was just wasted money in the end

@@tomebers8683 one dude got into a fender bender and the flat screen tv they put in his back seat fucking exploded

It was removed after filming

I want that shirt.. now!

The worst part is the tires. I have problems keeping shitty little $89 tires up these tires have to costs hundreds for just one lol.

@@sorrenblitz805 Rubber band tires as we call them are crazy expensive.. It depends on the brand and sizes.. The cheapest you may get is a $150.00 a tire.. Chrome rims are going to cost you no less than a $1,000 for some 20 inches.. Please don't live in an area where it's a million potholes in the road cause your chrome rims are going to get damaged after multiple potholes encounters..

Yess omg my grandmother and I were obsessed with that show

There was one episode of Trading Spaces filmed in my neighborhood and one of the teams made the living room into this awful Halloween colored nightmare lol

Yes please do that show!!!

Yeah, thinking they really invested $20.000 into an old Daihatsu van - I don't wanna know what new car they could have gotten him instead. Maybe a Volkswagen, Toyota or even a Mini. Instead, he still drives a ridiculous 1988 Daihatsu microvan.

@@torstenscholz6243that 20k was better than a commercial

And they felt violated

no one declared the mods so insurance wasnt an issue some may have upgraded to full coverage but must got collector car insurance which is way cheaper

Nah it's believable for the time period that this was filmed. You're very fortunate to have only experienced 2016 onward where the economy has been great and jobs are everywhere. Back during the recession years when you had 1200+ applicants lining up for every single job opening, you had to work really hard to keep your job or else they'd replace you in a heartbeat. Working for Orlando Regional Medical Center at that time I saw on more than one occasion employees being fired for being 1 to 3 minutes late, forgetting to clock in, forgetting to clock out, and so on. One LPN I remember in particular was involved in a not at fault vehicular accident and required 8 days off from work. She was fired and replaced within 3 days.

Ya, maybe on first few times..but when your disappeared over half the time every single day..

She was def helping herself to he patients meds

Hopefully they've bounced back from their MTV days.

Yep..."stolen" 😂🤣 aka, the best way to get out of the do not ever sell the pimped car part of the mtv contract 💯

....and if they didn't, they weren't paid

Why are you yelling?

Sauce?

@@CHET_CHADDINGTON his source is literally one guy who came out years later saying one of the WCC crew threatened him when he didn't give the appropriate amount of enthusiasm. There's a video on KZfaq called Was pimp my ride fake? Or something like that and they go into detail on what was real (Xzibit driving the vehicles to the shop is one of the actual real parts of the show) and what was manipulated or staged.

Please stop screaming

There is a guy who bought the pink and purple van and it still had all the screens and everything years later.

I can imagine them throwing them back in the box to use for the next episode 😂

They had to do that because most of it wouldn't have been street legal and would have been confiscated by police sooner or later. All of these gimmicks also would probably have been to much for the old batteries of these cars.

Nope not true. Only the extremely expensive stuff was gutted, you can find tons of pictures of the same cars featured years later still having old TVs and huge subwoofers. Most of them broke though.

Bro TRUE LIFE yesssssss plz do it James

Lmao that’s even worse

@@ChrisJamesTV also Xzibit was on our episode too

​@@Olkv3D😂😂😂

SAME! He’s like a sarcastic, laconic hot Mr. Rogers

@@patreoncom_pimpmyriderevisited honestly if he marketed it right, he could get 20k for the Hi-Jet. Looking at some standard Hi-jets they go for about 7k on the import market, yes 7k for a 30 year old go kart, so it having the provenance of having been the first Pump my Ride car could net that 20k

I found that story to be suspect too. I get the feeling she fucked up and it killed a patient or maybe she was stealing some of the morphine. Who knows though.

@@patreoncom_pimpmyriderevisited They should have hired better writers. I wouldn't be surprised if Xzihibit wrote some of those storylines himself since they seemed so non sensical.

@@sorrenblitz805 wouldn't want a Hi-jet, seems like a Hi-death vehicle, look how close you are to the front windshield. One head on collision its Hi-Death

Same man, Chris makes me laugh hard after work days.

Feals bad man

Yeah there was. It was literally two halves of different cars welded together haphazardly. They tricked out a new Scion for him instead.

Actually in season 5 they actually did some mechanical repairs too. When they were using West Coast Customs it was purely cosmetic, but Galpin Auto Sports did do some stuff under the hood.

Really??
