Goin Pimpin'....

Anyone saw the latest on MTV's Pimp My Ride? They've gone international.

Ok, so i sound like i've been living under a rock for the longest time..... pttth...
We've gotten used to PMR pimping cars that look like trash and have some DIY frankenstein mods, but the latest episode I saw kinda blew me away.

It was the episode of this Polish guy with a Trabant (is that how u spell it?) that was all sputtering and choking when he started it up, and each body part looked like it was gonna fall off. The folks at PMR did a fantastic job - i thought the Trabant came out looking very Mini-esque after that... perhaps it was inspired by the ol' Cooper.

Anywayz, my one grouse about the show - they talk a lot about the bodywork and ICE, but almost nothing about the engine mods... seems to be a case of "nice to look at, but not so nice to drive"?

So, should I start pimping by 2.4T silent killer?
