This show was awful

I thought that the appeal was that it was pretty bad

>>16801685
They tricked out all of the useless shit and left them with the same POS drivetrain

i remember enjoying it when i was younger for a while. i forget when exactly they jumped the shark but it got really bad really fast and then i never watched it again

why the fuck would they put a fish tank in some guys car

>>16803166
>why the fuck
Because nobody would watch it if they fixed their shit and painted it in a normie way.

>>16801685
It was but I really liked Xzhibit
Apparently he was really chill too

I remember there was a big problem with people getting their cars back and flipping them almost instantly for huge profit.

>>16804012
How is that a problem?

How was his music

>>16804143

IIRC they wanted to do follow up episodes with people to see how they liked their cars, but nobody kept them.

They also had big problems with some scrap heaps blowing their engines/transmissions so people would throw them out after that as well.

xzibit aged horribly

Yeah, it's not like people would be willing to buy them after all those ridiculous modifications.

>>16804195
people who got chosen to have their car pimped were mostly deserving car they drove. Stupid and ungrateful.

>>16803153
the 2000s were a hell of a time

>>16804295
Lancruiser was kinda nice.

I could easily see another version of this show becoming popular if they took the cars and actually modified them to be track/performance cars.

>old shitty civic busted up
>crew takes it and restores it
>instead of putting in dumb useless shit like tvs and fish tanks, actually rebuild the transmission, engine, supsension, add turbo, new brakes, tires, exhaust, etc.

>>16806223
but there's probably a show like this on YouTube somewhere anyways I'd imagine. And you'd almost have to do scrap yard cars because random people would purposefully abuse the shit out of their shitboxes to qualify as a participant

>>16804314
why? it was satire, now dumb shits take this stuff way to serious and becomming memes themselves.

>>16801685
If you think the original series was bad, try watching the UK version.

Holy shit, it was bad.

>tfw fat joe will never pimp yo trabi

I remember some shit in an ama in (yeah yeah I know) reddit from one of the owners on the show:

>builds they shown as done on days, actually took almost an year to complete
>some shit was immediately taken off the cars after the filmings, and even still, some of what stayed was unusable
>owners backstories were fabricated (I think he said, on his they unloaded 2 bags of candies on the car's floor to paint him as a major fatty), excitement from seeing the cars was also staged
>they didn't do shit to the engine, even being on its last legs
>xzibit was a pretty chill dude

There was more I'm sure, might try digging it up again.

>yo dawg we heard you hate yourself SO WE GOTCHU BRAND NEW SUICIDE DOORS

>>16806223
Nobody except 10 autists will watch this shit show.

I remember that there was this poor bastard who got his RAV4 pimped out on the show and then years later it burst into flames.
