On MTV
An upbeat, feel-good makeover show where cars are transformed from neglected wrecks into customized showpieces, built on the pleasure of visible improvement and celebration.
Pimp My Ride is a TV show produced by MTV. Each episode consists of taking one car in poor condition and restoring it, as well as customizing it. The original American version was hosted by rapper Xzibit.
