I think Xhibit doing a walk around and driving the car was the most entertaining part. I could have sworn there was an episode where it was just such a terrible car they bought them a new car.

[@sorrenblitz805]

Yeah there was. It was literally two halves of different cars welded together haphazardly. They tricked out a new Scion for him instead.

I found a thread from 2007 in which the supposed owner of the HiJet was trying to sell it. He said he had been offered $4-5k multiple times but had not taken anybody up. He also said that he missed having it prepimped, the guitar was shit, the rims were custom drilled for that car which made it unstable, and they did zero mechanical work minus adding a cold air intake.

[@audreybossman8369]

@DREDD_BOT Yep. Google “pimp my ride hijet”. It’s a forum called minitrucktalk. Should be one of the first results.

[@elevatewithoutlimits]

it still around

[@dirtydiesel1149]

Gotta watch Chris's videos asap before KZbin has them taken down 🥴

[@GoSabresLive]

There is an older show where they pretend to steal peoples cars, and upgrade it for them. But they keep the act up for WEEKS while they fix the cars. It’s called Overhaulin' and it’s kinda nuts. Oh also Baitcar. That shit is wild.

Who tf would want a catscan machine in their car?? I'd rather have an extra row of seats. Or like.. actual like trunk space 😂

[@huzart2]

Love this channel! Me and my wife watch it all the time! Keep up the good work. Love the show reviews and even the revisits, thanks for the laughs!

[@natgarbage6771]

This where the Twisted Metal characters got their rides

[@combatdeffective2121]

I think Chris James cracked the mystery of what happened to those truck loads of dvd players that got jacked by Dom and the crew in 2001.

[@kennylionheart3255]

What a nice ending for Wyatt. It was so nice and considerate of the show to do absolutely nothing to help replace some of what was lost. Lol

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

This show was the edgy equivalent of Trading Spaces. Everything was held together with bubble gum adn dreams and broke shortly after filming.

[@Dedathaheata]

Binged 6 of your videos in a row now I'm officially a subscriber...keep up the good work my dude

[@boondogglet132]

I remember watching the show release and it's time on air. For a 14 year old, the shit be ballin. Let's just say it aged very poorly but still enjoyable for the nostalgia factor. 2004 was a very different time.

[@pravitkeyo9167]

12:30 that laugh tho

[@PioneerPauly]

I love your videos and look forward to watching this tonight! Would you ever review KZbin videos? Got lots of ideas haha 👊🏽

[@Altereddandelion]

You make me genuinely laugh, thank you so much. I haven't done that in months.

[@Kakmanmartinez666]

This just brought back memories of the Pimp My Ride ps2 game me and my brother used to play. I think there were two of them.

[@leroyhudson8952]

18:20 this is the reaction to people instead of getting out the damn way 😂😂😂

[@Astralysis]

The perfect blend of nostalgia and comedy, love your content keep it up!

“So, I’ve always been big into hot rodding and drag racing, I actually had some thoughts on what I wanted to-“ “So what’s your favorite snack food?” “Uhh, potato chips, I guess?” “Say no more.”

[@bradley163]

I think I can speak for everyone here that we look forward to each of your videos.

[@freemorox5896]

If you think this is funny, you should watch the UK version. Its presented by a middle aged white radio DJ called Tim Westwood who markets himself as the voice of UK rap and acts exactly like how you think a rich white middle aged man who thinks hes black would act. It's hilarious 😂

[@feck2594]

I've been waiting for Chris to get around to talking about this unbelievably ridiculous show 😄 I remember watching it just to see how much more useless crap they could put in a vehicle. My favorite part was to see what kind of fake script they could have the people on it try to convince us was true .

[@tigereyes2012]

Little late too the party but side note bout this show I heard a lot of horror stories about it. Like when filming the people whose cars were getting 'pimped' had absolutely no say in what was done to the vehicle, and they weren't allowed afterwards to sell the car or anything.

[@jugginator2.068]

You're correct on that hoss

[@tigereyes2012]

@@jugginator2.068 Forgot to mention how most of the mods they did to the cars made most of them no longer road legal too lol i would have hated to have been on the show for that reason alone

[@moe3826]

Oh my god please one more pimp my ride chaos. 🙏 I need to question the choices they made some more 😂

[@ProtoGhostal1701]

4:35 touching on the Extreme Makeover Home Edition thing - there was this Q&A section on Weird Al's website back in the day and someone had asked about his appearance on EMHE. Basically, during the reveal he played a polka, while the little girl who's house it was looked fairly unimpressed. Apparently it was a big joke where in Reality TV world, the host misheard "I like polka" as "I like polka dots"

[@lie380]

I’ve always wanted my own cat scan machine!! So lucky!! And they never mention putting new motors or transmissions . 😂 it’s just a big gawky POS broke down on the side of the road.

[@sorrenblitz805]

Actually in season 5 they actually did some mechanical repairs too. When they were using West Coast Customs it was purely cosmetic, but Galpin Auto Sports did do some stuff under the hood.
