Pimp My Ride: Season 1
From Beat to Street
It's the first season of MTV's PIMP MY RIDE! There are no wheels too worthless, no ride to ragged. In other words, there is no ride unpimpable! Join your host and master of ceremonies Xzbit as he teams up with the crew at West Coast Customs to right the vehicular wrongs and enliven the lives of some very lucky guests. From the front to the back, the roof to the rims, these autos that ought-not-to-be are transformed into whips that work. This 3 disc set includes the entire first season plus never-before-seen bonus footage. So put it into overdrive, 'cause MTV's gonna pimp some rides.

Ridiculous and hilarious - AshaL
This is one of those shows that, if you try to take it seriously, you will be disappointed.
I will say that what they are doing for these people is pretty awesome. For some people, their car is part of their image and their self-respect and the cast of Pimp My Ride are doing that, but also being a little ridiculous at the same time (who needs a fountain in their car?).
Still, the show is hilarious and entertaining. Some of their ideas for the cars are beyond silly and I wouldn't be surprised if half the people they help out end up selling the cars pretty quickly, but it still is fun to watch.Pimp My Ride Appealing (Despite Itself) - TheShamus
The premise of "Pimp My Ride" is pretty straight forward. They pick a person who deserves a nice set of wheels --- tow away their old junker ... and deliver it back souped up in crazy ways.
Perhaps there is too much reality TV out there, but this show really works. This show is definitely aimed at the 12 to 30 year-old male demographic. There are RAP music referecences and a predominently RAP sountrack.
Even if you are not too crazy on our rap-happy host, or our the rap-happy soundtrack -- it's fun to see how old cars can be fixed up ... and the reaction their owners give when the car is returned.
The fact is --- this concept would work without the MTV music affiliation. Regardless of that difference ... I think this is an enjoyable (sometimes dispite itself).
