You watch Pimp My Ride (US Version) and it's amazing although perfectly stupid. If I ever had to go on that show, I'd be really careful about saying what I like, cause whatever you like, it's going into your car. 2 episodes come to mind here.
1) This guy has a pick up truck and he delivers auto parts for a living (The irony that his car is shit, lol) so he obviously needs the space in his car to deliver the parts so what do they do to the truck? They obviously strip the pick up part, and put in 5 or 7 plasma screens in the back and cover it with plexi-glass. How the fuck is he going to go to his job now? I mean, sure he could sit at home and watch tv in his garage because all the Plasma screens are 5 times bigger than anything else in his house.
2) The dude loves skateboarding, so they put a grinding rail on the back of his car and paint it, the same colour as his car. That pipe is going to get fucked and scratched and what if the guy loves skateboarding but is crap? He could very easily miss the rail and smash his back window.
What else I love about pimp my ride is that everybody appears to be from a ghetto, so these cars are going to get stolen and stripped for parts but let's assume the car doesn't get stolen. If it breaks down, how the hell is the person going to afford to fix it? they can't afford a cd player in it, yet they're expected to shell out $1000 to replace a tyre?
I think it might just be a good car show theme, but like top gear, pimp my ride is ambitious.
Then we see the British version and it is so shite it's unbelievable, tim westwood (Fuck it, he's not getting a capital in his name, I hate him more than bad grammar) is not black, no matter how much he thinks he is. I also think that he has really long arms. Long enough that he could stand up, not bend any body parts and scratch his knees. He irritates me to no end. Also, at the end of the show when they show some ugly English twat his shit car that looks like it had a make over in Argos, westwood 'officially pimps them'. What a prick.
I don't think tv shows should be allowed to jump the pond. Pimp my ride is shit over here but this pond goes two ways. Have you ever watched Ramsey's kitchen nightmares USA? fuck me....
