[@passivevii4052]

Hating

[@josejuanandrade4439]

The owner knew from the start.... The whole show was fake and totaly staged. They would film the "reactions" of the owners several times, often after they had already seen the end result, and the owners were advise to make a big fuss and look estupidly happy... Even the reactions to the owner finding out they had been chosen to get the tunning were fake... some even filmed in the house of a member of the staff, when the owner place was not "addecuated" to receive the visit in a way that would look cool... like if the owner lived in an apartment, or a place they couldnt film. Also the tuning was fake... they only did visual upgrades, often at the cost of the car even being viable to drive, hence why many ended like this van. It literaly was all paint and glitter.

[@darkdiddler1439]

They made it seem like it was done very quickly for the show but contestants have stated that they waited for months after turning their car in

the issue with Pimp My Ride was mainly the fact that they added all this luxury nonsense (which a lot of the time it was controlled by a guy off camera w/ a laptop, and not even real), but on top of that, they ignored actual mechanical problems the vehicles had. So if you got on to pimp my ride and your engine was bad, you might come back w/ the same car with a dvd player and a soda making machine in the back or w/e, but the engine will still be bad.

Not really, cause a lot of the parts like filters etc probably have engines that still used that even 7-8 years later.

Even if everything was put in perfectly, it still looks like the back seat would be a death trap if it got into an accident. There'd be glass shards and beads everywhere from the various screen and lasers, rescue workers wouldn't be able to get into the back without forcing the doors open or breaking down either that pseudo-wall or the sound system from the trunk, all of which would be a lot of wasted work when they see the denim seats and inevitably decide to immediately board up all the entrances and torch the van so that its inhabitants can explain themselves to God.

A lot of the owners couldn't afford the insurance nor the batteries to keep everything going and went back to being vibrant painted clunkers. Especially when they would put the crazy DJ table, sound systems and margarita mixers or whatever tf all they did. That takes a lot of juice and them batteries are expensive. Many just couldn't afford. Just like the extreme home show many couldn't afford the property taxes and utility bills. Plus if like the time when Oprah gave away buncha cars many couldn't afford the taxes. There's a price to all this TV stuff. From my understanding Price is Right with Drew Carey is best bet because I remember reading being told from couple folk he will pay personally the taxes so people do not have to give up their prizes
