How to Get Your Car on the MTV's Pimp My Ride!

A Few Ideas and Suggestions

Mrs. Renee

If you are an MTV fan then you have probably heard of the show pimp my ride. This is actually one of the most popular shows on MTV. But how can you get your car on the show? Well obviously you are going to have to make a submission, but how can you make them want to fix over your car?

The first thing that you will notice when you watch the show is that all of the cars are run down and eaten up. They pretty much are almost on their last leg cosmetically. So of course you car will have to be in some sort of running condition. As with any submission that you submit to a network you are really going to have to work hard at selling your beat up car. It's not so much yourself that has to be sold but the car and what you need it for.

Of course you don't want to make anything up, but the sadder your story is the more MTV will probably like it. Remember that you have to stand out from the rest. Maybe you are in to classic cars, and you bout one but it looks horrible then you should submit to be on the show. Remember that when you are taping your video of your car show it from all of the worst angles. The goal here is to make your car look bad not good. Try zooming in on the rusted spots and the bald tires if you have any.

Before you even think about submitting your tape, make sure that you watch it first, and compare your car to the ones that have already appeared on the show. Then ask yourself some of the following questions. Does my car look just like the ones that have already been on the show? Have they already had my model car on the show? If you answered yet to these questions then there is really no need for you to submit an entry. What they want is something different?

Remember even if your career is different or if you use the vehicle for work that might help your chances of appearing on the show. If you have tried to make any modifications of your own be sure to highlight this in your video tape. So the bottom line is that if you really want to get on "Pimp MY Ride" you have got to have the right ride and of course the right circumstances to really make it work.

    My fiance has a 73 ford mustang thats in worse shape of anything iv seen on the show ,Her Mother bought it for her in the early 90s, and her mother passed last (2010) on Thanksgiving Day , Her main dream in life was to have her Mustang fixed up for her adopted 12 yr. old son, She was a workaholic an got in a auto accident in 05 an has a steel plate from c-3 to c-7 , so she has not worked since, she has gave up on her dream,do to many hardships since her accident, she still will not part with this car she always says Skyler ( her son) can fix it up if something happens to her out of her life ins. I keep telling her im gonna take it to the junk yard and she goes to having a fit , I really wish you all could help us fix her car up, It would really mean the world to her. She has helped anyone thats ever needed it , Even the sheriff dept. an everyone that knows her she will go out of her way to help any one . If you can get her car on the show I will tell her its gone some where else , number 843-752-5205 from sout carolina hank-you , Billy Summerford
