Pimp My Ride pimps again

by Annie Wu, posted May 24th 2006 7:18PM

Pimp My RideMTV announced that Pimp My Ride will return for an all-new season on June 15. Musician Xzibit returns to hosting duties, popping collars along the way, but instead of West Coast Customs, the garage taking charge will be Galpin Auto Sports (GAS). According to the press release, some of the makeovers will include a limo and an ice cream truck.

I have conflicting feelings about this show. Occasionally, there will be something genuinely cool, like a really unique paint job. The rest of the time is just absolutely craziness -- like, beyond "let's throw in a pool-table"-craziness. Sometimes this is part of the fun, but it gets to be a little too much after a while. "We heard you like bunnies... so we turned your truck bed into a petting zoo! WHOO!"

I liked when West Coast Customs updated the cars. But some of the people didn't look too comfortable being behind the camera--they didn't expect this unexpected rush of TV fame being on MTV. So they might have ended their partnership with MTV after the second season ended. I noticed the new GAS garage this season. I think that they have done a good job remodeling and updating older cars. Very clean, sharp paint jobs and unbelievable sound systems installed in the cars! I would have left out the coffee machines and hangars. I'd rather be driving and leave my favorite things at home. There's such a thing as too much.

One of the worst was the end of last season, where they took the guy's buick, and used the whole back seat for the subwoofer. As in, the kind of speaker they use in MOVIE THEATERS! The kid did not look happy at all. I wouldn't blame him. Theres a fine line between a speaker box, and hauling a movie theater in your backseat.

Yeah - in one of the episodes they put a cappuchino machine in the middle of the driver and passenger seats. I'm sorry but isn't that worse than using a cell phone or putting makeup on. I'm going to brew coffee while I drive in the morning, la la la.. BUMP.. AAAHH!! I burned the living crap out of my legs! MEDIC! MEDIC! *CRASH*

Or the one with the juicer in the trunk.. puh-lease. Like they're going to go to that much trouble.

Some of the stuff reminds me of the Wings episode where Roy put a Car-B-Que in his car...
