Default Pimp My Rice...uh I mean Ride!

Did you guys see this last night on MTV's Pimp My Ride? I'd be embarassed to roll in that. They messed up a perfectly good set of 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR's. Tragic.

Here's a link to the thread:

Since you've already panned its looks, I'll add that the color and bulging headlights up front remind me of an overgrown bullfrog.

Ahhhhh, my eyes. I don't watch that show, and everytime I see a product from it. It only reinforces why I don't.

He should tell them to give him his old car back. I honestly want someone to be upset about the outcome of their car. Like when some ppl on those home improvement shows get upset and completely hate the look of the house and would rather it changed back. Then to top it off start crying. I want that to happen on Pimp My Ride. I want to see tears and a demand for a new Pimped out ride. That would make one hell of an episode.

I like how the thread comments on the site went from "looks nice" to "looks ok" to "sell some of the stuff" to finally "your car is a giant piece, mtv goofed it up"

the before does, IMO. I'd drive teh beofre WCC version of that car instead of the after WCC version. Wanting a 240sx is something that always floats in my head, too bad this one turned out like this.

As I looked at the car I can't help but think WCC riced it out for him. IE hood scoops, sides skirts, front bumpers, wing, etc.

the wcc people were like "we couldn't give this car back to you without touching the engine", so i was thinking "oh they better of put an sr20det or whatever in". nope, he proceeds to point out that only an engine dressup kit was put in

All that show ever does is turn a car thats rusted and beat up into an ugly, overdone lime-green (or some hideous color) shopping cart, usually with a gigantic spoiler that resembles the handle. The show is genuinely retarded, they shoudl just focus on restoring the car with a basic new paint job etc.

In all honesty, all they had to do was fix his old kit, paint the car a non-rice color, and forget the ICE, give this kid a sr20det swap!
