    Default pimp my ride...would you take the offer??

    I know some of you have already spent months and years getting your car just how you want it but for those of you just starting out on a car or with a project car; would you let Xzibit "pimp your ride" if say....you could choose a color scheme?? Like a promised "no flames, neons, spinners, racing stripes, chrome, or wings" type of deal??

    Seriously think about it...I know a lot of people (including me) would say hell no right off the bat but think about all the free shit you could get and how much of a jump start you could get especially if your car was crashed up or something...they could get the body straight, get it running right, get it lowered on some rims, get some nice sub enclosures and such and ruin the interior...then all you'd have to do would be repaint it, adjust the interior to your style and replace the parts you don't want with something you'd have to buy anyway, but still be able to keep or sell all the other shit...


    well???

    they did have at least one kid i saw who said he's "not all into the flashy stuff, he didn't like flames or big chrome wheels" ...can't remember how it turned out overall but i know they didn't put flames on there


    i just figure if its a big project or stock car already and you plan on having to do paint, rims, suspension, interior, 12V, etc already then what's the worst that could happen??? they would put flames on there and you'd still have to pay for the paint job you were planning on getting already??

    ONLY if I could decide what goes on the car. I hate everything they churn out. I don't watch that crap because it is beyond even ridiculous. Later, QD.

    Id give it to overhaulin in a split second, theyd have to pay me to give it to pimp my ride. It was worse than tv screens in the bumper, on one of them they put a tv underneath the car because the guy likes to work on it, I believe it was the 4 runner with a fucking body kit.

    not to pimp my ride. not my current car. granted my car doesnt look all that great. but ive put waaaayyyy too much work into it for someone to do something to it.
    i dont even know if id want overhauling to do it. i mean chip is awesome with the cars but still. my current car... i want myself to do it. that way i can say "hey, i really did do ALL the work on the car"

    ahaha I believe you have to sign a contract on PIMP MY RIDE or something. They did a 240 awhile ago and I read the whole story on some nissan site.

    The dude explained how everything was done and all the scripts and shit. I watched it whenever is on.. Just to laugh and see what these guys come up with.

    I mean, west cost customz do some crazy shit no matter how you look at it..

    They pick beat ass junk ass cars for that show. If you own a car like that and you do not accept the offer you are a fucking moron. They are not using nice cars for this shows they are using big time beaters. Everyone who says they would not take the offer is lying. They can pimp my danger ranger all they want, all day everyday.

    Yes I would let them pimp my ride and the shit would go straight to Ebay as soon as whatever stipulations that come with it are up. You know you would make enough to buy something that you would really want, so why not .

    Thats what I was thinking...

    When your driving something as ragged as these fuckers, if you dont take the offer your retarded. They pick the BIGGEST beaters they can find... They will fix your falling off door, fix where you hit a deer or WHATEVER, etc.

    Why not?
