Dear Johnovan,
I don't have any digital photos I can send, but I can tell you this...

The car was in good shape, and what you have seen on the show was highly exaggerated curtosey of MTV. Basically, there was no significant body damage and the engine and the car had absolutely no problems with it in terms of running. I am quite mechanically saavy and just installed a new exhaust system before the show aired. If you watch the show, or need a copy, which I can sned if you are truely truely interested) you'll notice most of the "damage" was purely aesthetic. If you need, my friends and I also have taped some video footage of the car before the revamp which might interest you as well.
Kepp in touch,
Ezra

^^ Thats exactly what my sis said. She said that it's sad to see MTV choosing someone to spend 10k+ on and then watching that person turn around and sell it on ebay....

He's right, Xzibit is such a ***. That show is so freakin gay.
"Ok so what do we have with this department?"
"...Well were actually thinking about making it so that the trunk pops open and shoes and a bunch of coat hangers come out."
"....Why?"
"...I dunno"
"...OK! Sounds good. Get to work!"

I agree with the two past posts that if you want to see guys who have some respect for performance watch Tuner Transformation. They actually swap engines, impove suspension, although there "bling" expert is a retard, he runied a perfectly good Mini Type-S, it is still a millions time better than a show that puts a water thing in the back of a cadillac.

^^ I don't know though, they spend more on MTV so IF I could do the same thing that the dude did, get his car fixed up and sell it (or at least sell the parts), then I would want MTV to do it instead of TT. Although if it were for racing I'd get TT on it.

always good to know you would rather have a kareokee(sp?) machine put in the back of your car instead of a performance boost. we are talking about your car, which would be ruined. So i guess if you are already looking to unload your car then pmr could work for you.

I think MTV has to make the cars gay like. If they didn't have weird *** 2 color paint w/ flames normal ppl/stupid ricers would be like they didn't do anything to the car. Engine swaps would be nice but only about 5% of the watchers would even know what they were doing. In the end the show is about ratings and if they need to make a car look gay for people to watch it..that's what they'll do.

oh i totally agree with you. it is all about ratings. I am just saying on the premise that one of the shows was about to take my civic and do something to it, i would never in a million years let pimp my ride touch my car. I would much rather have TT do something to the car because I know in the end I would be much more satisfied.

I would let PMR do my car...then strip all the things they put in and sell them...and use the money to do engine mods...simple as that and good all around :-D

Pimp my ride is ALL about show. Again, we have the F&F toi thank for this. The toyota landcruiser actually turned out half decent, but did anyone notice the driver door was crooked? LOL.

TT is a lot better, IMO. But then I also watch TRUCKS, Horsepower TV, and Overhaulin.

I learn a little from each. Gives me "ideas"....
