Stupid
I personally think "pimp my ride" is a really dumb show. It seems like they just do what it takes to make the car look shiny on the outside, then pass it off.
I don't know about you guys, but I caught a glimpse during the one time I watched it and they were really troweling on gallons of bondo on the body. Not a sign of proper body/paint work. Another one was where they cleaned the engine bay, added a chrome air cleaner, and dumped some motor honey in the oil.
I like what they do in overhaulin', and the host girl is pretty hot, so it gets a thumbs up. Even then, it can get a bit generic. They always seem to be dropping a small-block chevy into everything. Try something different! But I guess when they have a week to do it, it is an amazing feat!
What pisses me off though is when I say I have been working on my '72 Cutlass for several months and people say "Oh, why does it take you so long? They do it in a week on TV." They just don't understand!

PS I would never let my car get near either of those shows.
