Shanda’s 1989 Mustang convertible gives new meaning
to the term “rag top.” This ride is so busted,
there’s a gaping hole in the ceiling. This, among
other things, causes some trouble when nature takes
its course. It’s not raining men, it’s raining—literally—on
Shanda. There’s also trouble for backseat passengers,
one window is missing and the other won’t roll
down. And forget about listening to the radio, turning
on the heat, or the air conditioning, ‘cause none
of this stuff works. It’s pretty obvious this
Mustang is in need of Xzibit’s golden touch.
When X arrives on Shanda’s doorstep, she is all
smiles. Finally the Mustang will be turned back into
the stallion it was meant to be. After all, this was
the type of ride featured in Vanilla Ice’s “Ice
Ice Baby” video. The Mustang is destined for great
things, though when X first takes a look at it, he is
repulsed. “Are those finger nails and raisins
in the ashtray?” It’s true the interior
of this ride leaves something to be desired, especially
because Shanda seatbelts herself into the car by wrapping
the broken belt around the back of the seat, and then
tying it in front of her. Not sure if this complies
with highway safety, but Shanda will soon have seatbelts
and a whole lot more once the guys at West Coast Customs
take on the job.
The boys at West Coast get right to work as soon as
the Mustang arrives at the garage. Say goodbye to the
dirty off-white color, and hello to raspberry red. And
that’s not all… the guys mix a gold shimmer
paint that matches the new gold rims. The inside isn’t
too shabby either. Along with a touch-screen DVD player,
the Mustang comes with a photo-booth in the front seat
(one of Shanda’s favorite hobbies is photography).
And don’t worry about getting those pictures developed,
the car has a built in printer.
If you happen to be behind Shanda’s Mustang on
the road, you’ll know it, because to match Shanda’s
bubbly personality, the guys at West Coast had a good
old time installing a bubble machine into the ride so
bubbles shoot out of the back of the car. Shanda is
ecstatic to see her new Mustang. She gives it a great,
big hug and then it’s hugs for all of the boys
at West Coast before this lucky lady takes off to pick
up her girlfriends for a night on the town. Shanda has
officially been pimped.

Pimp My Ride Show Summary
Xzibit and the good people at West Coast
Customs make people's cars go from dirt to pimped in
this 30 minute show that airs weekly on MTV.
Hosted by Xzibit and featuring Los Angeles-area aftermarket
shop West Coast Customs, “MTV Pimp My Ride”
selects young, automotively challenged Southern Californians
and transforms their rust buckets into triumphs.
For many young adults, getting the insurance or finance to fix up their cars can be difficult and taking out a car loan is often no an option. “It’s not just about the cars
anymore,” Xzibit said, but also “the boost
that these kids get in their self-esteem. You can see
it in their faces.”
Wheels, Grilles, Body Kits, Customer Paint, Rims, Tires, Car Audio, Car DVD Video and Computer Systems, and many more crazy additions are transplanted into a Pimped Rides every episode!
