Regardless of each vehicle that appeared on the show, every project was completely restored and upgraded, leaving everyone speechless, even viewers watching at home. “Pimp My Ride” produced some remarkable and sometimes ridiculous pieces of work during its run.
But not all is as it seems, there was a lot more behind the production of this show than Xzibits saying, “Yo dawg.”

His feelings were shared by two other contestants named Justin Dearinger and Seth Martino, who both featured in the show's final season.
