Pimp My Ride
A 1989 Ford Escort is deemed unpimpable, so the team pimps a 2004 Scion XB instead.

I want a "where are they now?" version of Pimp My Ride. Did the people take care of thier new cars. Or, do they quickly leave chicken bones on the floor and begin adding dents.

And where is this Pimp My Ride xB? Has anyone ever seen it at a show or on the street?

It's kinda like why would they all of the sudden start taking care of something that they let get so run down in the first place. Lazy people just don't change overnight.
I'm more worried about some of those cars that get Overhauled. Some of those people scare me and I don't feel they are all worthy of such a sweet upgrade to their rides. If I were Chip I'd make them sign something saying if they start to neglect the car that it's ownership goes to Chip once it is discovered.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Ya the pimp my ride XB would be sweet if they removed the flame paint job and the ricer spoiler on top of the car..

i guess they thought the scion xb needed all that downforce in the rear even though its front wheel drive

I'm not trying to pick on you. I've just seen enough similar posts and I have to say something. Having a rear spoiler isn't just rear wheel drive traction. It's for stability for any car especially those that are light in the rear like front wheel drive cars. Case in point. The Audi TT is a front wheel drive car. The original release didn't have a spoiler but they had to add one because they found that around 120 the rear was unstable and people were crashing. The PMR XB was just overdone.
