“At least this time it’s a Honda,”
is what the boys at West Coast Customs had to say when
they saw Christine’s ride. Christine has a ‘92
Honda Civic that looks like it’s been through
a war. It has a possessed alarm system that sounds at
the touch of a fly, a rusty banged up door that doesn’t
close, and best of all, when it rains, it pours inside
of Christine’s car. The water leaves a huge, murky
puddle that can’t be avoided. It’s no wonder
her friends have labeled the Honda “swamp thing.”
When Xzibit shows up at Christine’s house, she
is totally ecstatic at the prospect of a new, pimped
out ride. Christine now has to drive her rusty hooptie
thirty minutes back and forth to school and she also
has to take her poor Granny in the car to her doctor’s
appointments. Xzibit does a quick once over of the car,
and is immediately bombarded by the constantly sounding
alarm. He notices right away the Honda sports only a
cassette player, which is quite traumatic for a rapper
to witness, and also wonders aloud what the purpose
of having a Club for a ride like this is. Well it’s
time to take the Honda to the boys at the shop and see
if they can turn this clunker into a pimped out ride.
At the shop, the guys begin to toss out some ideas to
pimp Christine’s ride. With a plan in mind, the
guys set out to add new tires and rims, leather massage
seats, CD/DVD player, Play Station 2, a sound system,
and a whole lot more.
The outside of Christine’s car needs a little…
no, a lot of work. The guys have to bang out some dents,
and do some reshaping to even out the car. They plan
on painting the Honda a Lavender color, complete with
a racing stripe down the center. It will also come with
a grill and a new sunroof, but the coolest feature has
to be the Lamborghini doors. Christine is going to look
totally hot and pimped to the max with doors worth six
Gs on her ride.
When Christine and her Grandma see the old Honda transformed,
they are thrilled. Christine was so surprised at what
she saw that she had to ask if it was, indeed, really
her car. Xzibit and the boys at West Coast definitely
achieved their goal in pimping out Christine’s
Honda, and bringing her into the 21st century in style.
Xzibit and the good people at West Coast
Customs make people's cars go from dirt to pimped in
this 30 minute show that airs weekly on MTV.
Hosted by Xzibit and featuring Los Angeles-area aftermarket
shop West Coast Customs, “MTV Pimp My Ride”
selects young, automotively challenged Southern Californians
and transforms their rust buckets into triumphs.
For many young adults, getting the insurance or finance to fix up their cars can be difficult and taking out a car loan is often no an option. “It’s not just about the cars
anymore,” Xzibit said, but also “the boost
that these kids get in their self-esteem. You can see
it in their faces.”
Wheels, Grilles, Body Kits, Customer Paint, Rims, Tires, Car Audio, Car DVD Video and Computer Systems, and many more crazy additions are transplanted into a Pimped Rides every episode!
