Of all the automotive 'renovation' shows, I think PMR is the best:

-- It's short but doesn't feel overly short.
-- They do very creative, almost absurd, $hit.
-- WCC and Xhibit have lots of personality and enthusiasm.
-- The victim actually appreciates the work done to their vehicle.

Compare the worst episode of PMR to the best episodes of the following shows:

-- Full Throttle (Twins Turbo need to stick to building cars).
-- Overhaulin' (The Foose and snooze hour).
-- Tuner Transformation (They did a 240sx coupe last season. Zzzzzzzz).

And now the award for first asian guy on pimp my ride goes to...........

s13Dr1ft · 12-02-2004, 01:54 PM

maybe when everything gets goin again we'll start a show... yea....

gonzoes14k · 12-02-2004, 03:00 PM

I like WCC maybe not some of the cars. But as long as the people are thankful and love what is done its cool. Some of the cars I like some dont but atleast thay dont half ass them. Have the feeling if the WCC was given a clue of how the s13 should be done it whould be done nice. Just the guy wanted it that way thats how he is going to get it.

chlatboy · 12-02-2004, 04:47 PM

Let's make our own show called DRIFT MY RIDE!
What we will do is drift peoples cars around. Give it a a few "battle scars"!!! That would be cool. But we will give them some performance parts. LSD, new seats, maybe supensions!

Anyone in???? DRIFT MY RIDE!!!! Ill be the host and i get you say "you've officially been DRIFTED"!!!

AIM resumes for drivers for the DRIFT MY RIDE SHOW to chlatkhmerboy plz!!!

well at first i thought it was up to PMR to setup the car. But everyone is saying the owner of the car gets to choose. who knows, maybe he knows his shit.?? Zeal, Bride, Cusco, Nismo...if he requests brand names like this he cant go wrong

huh? snooze hour? the amount of fabrication and extremely hard work those guys put into the cars far exceed ANY of the other shows... the guys on that show are top-notch fabbers and painters and gearheads... its like an Allstar team...

I guess you just dont have an appreciation for CLEAN cars... sure they do it on muscle cars a lot; but soon enough there will be newer cars going on there...
its never rice on that show... its always VERY clean and VERY creative...
dont see how it can be a snooze hour unless you cant appreciate top-quality work and would rather enjoy the gay import-show scene

hahah.. exactly what I was thinking..

remember.. this is MTV. Their main audience is probably like 13-21.

Omnis · 12-03-2004, 12:34 PM

more like 10-17

and....i can't remember, but has overhaulin' done any imports?

HAHA! naw i dont think that's the case. If there's one thing i notcied is that PMR spares no expense. They will definitely dish out for expensive parts..as long as they make a visual difference. They will probably spend the most on body kit , rims and paint cause they makes the biggest difference and they naturally cost more,(duh) but i dont know how much they'll put into suspension. . As long as they kill the wheel gap..lol. i love that show.

Dutchmalmiss · 12-03-2004, 01:15 PM

i hope the kid lowered it before they pimped it. they never touch the suspension and/or motor.

RiversideS13 · 12-03-2004, 01:17 PM

I think the show was sponsored by APC? so i would think the 240sx will loaded with APC stuffs. I think they only care about the look but not much about the brand

Omnis · 12-03-2004, 01:20 PM

i thought they gave one of those kids eibach springs for lowering.

forget which car it was on though. might've been that nissan DJ wagon.

if they put any apc products on the 240, they will ruin the car!! APC is the biggest crap on the market!

*sykikchimp* · 12-03-2004, 02:00 PM

I don't think PMR pays for most of the stuff they put on the car. I'm betting that most of those types of shows get sponsors for the equipment they use in return for good old fashioned product placement. Whoever is willing to give them stuff is what ends up on the car... within reason..

i couldnt agree with you more!

HyperTek · 12-03-2004, 03:07 PM

like Giovana rims on everything.. esp like that episode of Rides , they put Giovannas on a Enzo.... =(

Var · 12-03-2004, 03:48 PM

MTV will have to cover all costs or else the show wont happen. Mav said MTV approached him for the rims. Maybe 5-Zigen would be okay with sponsoring them, maybe not. If not and that's what the kid wants, wouldnt MTV have to pay. Yes. or they'd have to go wit de Giobani whills wit de pirelli tires

LoCo · 12-03-2004, 04:00 PM

come on who needs those why not just go with bling bling hub caps... YAY!

Ian · 12-03-2004, 04:07 PM

if X to da Z showed up on my doorstep i woulda been like...Thanks MTV for letting me pimp my ride!

then i woudla gone and help up WCC until they gave me all of my demands...

My words exactlly. I never miss an Overhauling.

axiomatik · 12-03-2004, 05:12 PM

Here's the difference between PMR and Overhaulin. On Overhaulin, they do comprehensive, quality body work, new wheels, refinish the entire interior, AND do engine work (half the time putting in a brand new crate motor) AND install brand new Hotchkis or Air Ride suspension. I saw one episode of PMR and decided it was a complete waste of time. They redid some chick's 30 yr old firebird. After they were done, the trunk was half filled with stereo equipment, the other half was filled with a clothing steamer so she could iron her clothes on the side of the road. Best of all, it had a freakin cappucino maker in the armrest! I mean, Goddamn that is AWESOME!!! "Sure, it only runs on 3 cylinders, drinks two quarts of oil a week, and has to be push-started, but look at dem purty, shiny wheels!!" And when it throws a rod, you can make some coffee while waiting for the tow truck. Every car they do should come with an AAA membership.

With any luck, the kids 240 will be tastefully done like this example from the first season:
