"-Sometimes additions to the cars were just for the show and would be taken out of the vehicle immediately after filming.
-And often additions -- such as the famous backseat TV screens -- simply wouldn't work.
-Although the cars were visually pimped, the insides were seemingly given far less attention.
-Although probably expected, those reveal shots of excitement were staged.
-The show made it seem as if the cars were in the garage for a few days, but it was actually about half a year -- causing daily problems.
-A suggestion to another contestant: dump his girlfriend for the half hour show because the premise was becoming a "playa" through the pimped ride.

-At least in these instances, the backstories and interests of the contestants were kind of made up.
-Despite everything though -- all of the contestants still enjoyed their time on the show and their pimped out cars, even if they caused much more attention from the cops."

MTV dumped bags of candy in one contestant's pre-pimped car and told him to act as if he always had it there in case he got hungry. He felt as if they were going out of their way to make fun of his size.

:ohhh: I didn't know that


Yeah man most of the people that win shyt on game shows never even get to keep it because of the taxes, the cars actually get donated by whoever the maker is but the winner is responsible for all taxes involved plus gift tax which on average is usually over 5gs or so plus you have to pay for the shipping of the car to wherever you stay. Same with that one show where they were building people houses and stuff, they were getting taxed based on the value of the new home and a lot couldn't afford the utilities and so forth.
