I am shocked, SHOCKED!

Pimp My Ride lied? Former contestants reveal Xzibit's customized cars were either fake or just didn't work
Many of the flashy upgrades installed by rapper Xzibit and his West Coast Customs crew didn't work, made the car worse or were simply taken out
The show earned a reputation for its extravagant features such as adding pool tables, arcade machines, clothes dryers and chandeliers to cars
One contestant claimed on a Reddit AMA he couldn't drive with the LED lights they installed in his seat would get too hot

Not surprising really. I never liked the show. More pulp for the masses.

I watched it once and once only.
They were rebuilding an old Daihatsu and you could see the hadn't painted the bottom of the bumpers or side skirts when it was up on a lift.

The Foose cars may not have been to everyone's tastes but at least they were done properly.

I am staggered that adding a fish tank to a 1982 Chevy Caprice does not make it better. It's almost like you're saying that reality tv isn't.........real? Everything I believe is a lie!

A crushing blow to car customizers everywhere . Sort of like finding out that Robert Plant lip synced.

Pure automotive fluff, put on for the sole purpose of TV entertainment, and certainly not car buffs. Just about the same thing with the Kardashians (first time I ever spelled that name) and their pseudo life. Nobody really lives like that, and if they do, they want a sex change operation to compensate.
