Not many people can forget MTV’s “Pimp My Ride” featuring Xzibit and the eccentric crew of Los Angeles’ West Coast Customs. For those who don’t remember, Xzibit would show up to the doorstep of a lucky fan with a beat up car, and offer to go above and beyond in fixing it.
One man who goes by the name Jake Glazes, and who was featured on the show during its run, said he got much more value out of selling his newly pimped out 1986 Buick Century than he would had he kept it. WCC had transformed his $500 vehicle into a portable deejay booth with a new sound system and turntables. However, Glazes says the car may have been spruced up on the outside, but the insides were still beat up.
“The problem with the show is, they don’t fix any of the mechanical issues and my car was a piece of shit,” he said. “What they did was make my piece of shit sound exceptionally awesome, which is great. Just not great enough to drive on the roads.”
MTV’s contract asserted that cars from the show not be sold online. However, Glazes was able to circumvent that contract by selling the car to the company associated with the vehicle’s upgrade for $18,000. And although he couldn’t drive the car, he says his experience with Xzibit was a good one.
“Xzibit was very chill. We probably shared 3 entire bags of Fiery Hot Cheetos. He also told me many stories. The crew at West Coast Customs were great dudes also. Very kind.”
you should probably expect this kind of thing…i mean how do they expect you to keep up the all the new costs they’ve introduced: maintenance fees, insurance costs, etc.
yup i always supected they wouldnt fix up the engine and stuff. many times unnecessary things were added to the car. Overhaulin now that show is the shit
Still… an $18,000 check would’ve been awesome too… lets make a new show where Xzibit tells you your car is such a piece of shit even he cant fucking fix it so he then gives you a check at the end and you examine it saying its awesome, repeatedly,while he tells you how to shove it up your ungrateful ass you asshole… X to the Z is pimpin houses now… talk about bigger and better things.
yo! from what I’ve seen is they completely renew the inside and engine, and paint the shell with new bumper and rims. SO I don’t get what this guys on. 18Gs thats serious, obvious the did more than a paint job rims and speakers
I would sell that shit too … They never did nice cars all where over done p.o.s rides .. Homie is the only real winner …
Hey, nice job stealing this from a Reddit AMA. Want to credit where credit is due?
Damn I forgot all about fiery hot cheetos, those were the shit. I also suspected they didnt do anything to make the cars run any better, once you get that shit back out on the street and the cameras arnt around anymore thats when reality hits, your dj booth gets stolen, the fish in your back seat fish tank die, you get into an accident and your cotten candy machine flys around inside the car and gives you brain damage, real unfortunate, cool that he got so much for it though
This was probably the funniest shit I’ve read on here LOL
Why would you steal this from reddit and not even give a slight amount of credit to either the person who did the IAMA or the website? Look, I understand that you are lazy and need to steal, sorry divine, ideas for posts by staring at Reddit, but don’t pass it off as your own work. Every line of this article, at least the relevant lines, is directly lifted from another website and another person’s words.
Give credit where credit is due.
Give credit where credit is due. It came from Reddit. At least link to the source, for God’s sake. Is all journalism this shitty nowadays?
The show, I think, started out legit, then it was jus people buying junkers tryin to get on… One dude was on the show AND he was on BETs version of the Real World..WTF??

Xzibit pimps out everything. I heard when he was in kindergarten, he used to go the playground and say “Yo I’m about to pimp yo slide!” Then as a teen he used to walk behind girls holding a camera saying “This bitch got a flat ass but what she don’t know is that I’m about to pimp her hide!” It’s only natural for him to pimp out cars now. Later he might move on to pimping houses and then he’ll become the President and pimp our economy. Vote Xzibit 2012!
