Not gonna lie, I had a PS1 in my '01 Sunfire with period correct flip up screen. The funny thing is if I ever did it again I'd go with an older console again.
My favorite early 2000s show was the TLC show called Junkyard Wars (Scrapheap Challenge was the British version). You had 10 hours in a junkyard to build whatever the challenge was. And then the next day they would compete in the challenge to see who would win. It was an awesome show that showed a lot of innovative fabrications and engineering. Now my new favorite car show is Roadkill and Roadkill garage, from Motortrend.
The reason I became a mechanic in few words: *Monster Garage, Pimp My Ride, Overhaulin, American hot rod, Powernation, TLC Rides, American Chopper, Hot wheels World Race, & Fast & Furious* !
and this is why 17 year old kids put pop cans on there moms hand me down 98 civics and floor it by my house at 1 in the morning. vvvvvvvvvvrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaagayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I will support anything that will get youngsters wrenching on cars. The 2000's taught me how to utilize zip ties and duct tape to keep my body kit together... AND how to negotiate steep driveways and road bumps in slammed out vehicles.
I used to love watching Stacy David on the weekends when Speed did the Powerblock, I was always more interested in more of the nuts and bolts of wrenching on cars and trucks and working on muscle cars and classic trucks rather than the early 00s tuner car scene. Those shows are alittle dated and some of them were somewhat hamfisted with the sponsorships, but they did pave the way for the more DIY/Project car type shows that we see on TH-cam now and have aged pretty darn well as compared to Pimp my Ride and the other more over the top reality car shows
To this day everytime I hand somebody a set of keys I pop their sleeve and tell them they've officially been pimped. Nobody ever gets it but I laugh so that's what matters
No way, man. Plenty of people, myself included, watched this show & truly love cars. Did it educate us in any way? No, not really. Was it hugely entertaining & absurd? Yes, definitely.
the early 2000's were probably the best times to be alive, shortly before internet and social media took off and life still was awesome, great music, great tv shows...
"Shortly before the internet and social media took off" ...You mean "before Web 2.0." Before everyone including your grandparents were on it. Chat rooms, forums... ...it actually was a better place. Sure, there were trolls and flame wars, but the people had some level of intelligence. They actually had to know how to plug in a computer and install software.

The best Monster Garage episode was the one where Jesse worked with the old timers on that chopped and sectioned Chevy. There was no drama, everyone knew what they were doing, and the final result was just beautiful.
Takyo Bish debatable, it’s a good show but you have to admit they’ve done some weird stuff like the 67 fastback on pimp wheels or that wonky camaro from season 3 covered in flames.
@Oscar Ljungberg Ok, but they got their cars that were most of the time rotting away customized for free. There's many of those cars that were sold after the show for big money or people just got then repainted or swapped wheels. They cared more about getting something they cared about back on the road again.
Same, I grew up in the 90's and 00's watching these shows on lazy weekends with my dad. Good times, definitely gave me the modding itch that got me into cars. Just finished my first serious custom modification to my car too. Everything else like the ECU, coilovers, and brakes were just drop ins. Now I have a full custom carbon fiber aluminum honeycomb foam sandwich subwoofer box molded to fit my spare tire bay. Extremely light for its size but very rigid and well damped. My own way, 20 years later, of honoring the shows that got me into cars.
Well it was kinda the early 00s hip hop style. It didn't matter how the car would run as long as it looked cool. You want to be a player but your wheels weren't fly. So they hooked you up to get a pimped out ride
I liked overhaulin. Way more practical. They actually made sure the car was practical and everything functioned properly, instead of just adding a bunch of unnecessary mods.
Car Magazines filled with Motorsport cars, especially from JGTC made me love cars. Seeing a ferrari's engine for the first time made my mind explode on just how BIG it is.
@@cread80dsflkdsh meh, OCC kind of started the "shout at everyone and make up BS deadlines for more drama" routine that kills most automotive reality shows for me.
I remember a show called "trick it out" that i used to see in MTV that was about a tuning competition between two tuning garages that were given The same car and budget to do the tuning. I can only find some pieces of episodes here and there but never was able to find the whole show.
The 2000s were when I first really started getting into cars, especially the import scene. While I watched a bunch of build shows, I think my favorite was Tuner Transformation on the Speed Channel. Focused mainly on the sport compact scene, but they seemed to care more about performance than they did about the looks or crazy body kits that a lot of the shows relied on. They had those too, but my favorite episodes were the ones where they just tried to build a faster, better handling car. Really wish that show was still on...
The Truck My Truck shoutout at the end! That hit different! And Country Fried Home Videos! Bring me back to 2006 or whatever year it was quick a sec! Lol
Stacey David from the show Gearz is the undisputed champ of all the cable TV vehicle mod shows of the 2000s. His custom 4x4s didn't have fuckin popcorn makers. They had 24 inches of suspension travel. He is a legend.
I loved Pimp My Ride sooo much XD The cars were ridiculously insane, the staff was cool and the early/mid 2000s style was so blink blink I cannot even tell how this style should be told.
I take it as a throwback, the title is like a phrase you say to your friend. And Nolan is our bestest friend here in donut. If they titled it "The real reason why...." then ur right
Unique whips was one of my favorites back then. Nolan explained it perfectly, most of those cars still look good today. They tried to bring it back on velocity channel a couple yrs ago it didn't do too well, prefer the old speed channel stuff
VETTE It’s every bit as bad as Pimp My Ride. That shop is like 10miles from my work, my boss is the owner of that gold corvette and the funny car hauler thing. I’ve STILL never felt possessed to visit that place.
I really liked the Pimp My Ride episode where they installed a paint ball gun in the grille of a guy's car haha but I also had the PS2 Pimp My Ride game! It was tough but actually pretty good
Back in 2000 I wanted one of those Spongebob TVs, but then I got over it. Then I wanted to smoke weed with the cool kids, but then I got over it. So all I did was watch MTV and ate frozen burritos after school.
YES I watched trick my truck with my dad and brother when I was younger I’d think about it every now and then but I could never remember the name, thanks for that nostalgia trip
I honestly dont think there will be another season, the only entertainment is the idiot who just says dumb shit and breaks things, after seeing him on tv i wouldnt want anything that they build or fix...and i think he ended up in the negative didnt he?
You missed a golden opportunity... "You've should've seen me before we started this episode, I was a mess!" *Takes sip of NOS Energy Drink* "But NOS anymore!"
I have a friend named jerry who owns a hot rod shop/garage who was on monster garage. They had to build a truck that could capture and launch a hot air balloon while the truck drove. Jerry helped design and build it as well as pilot the hot air balloon. He told me the host was deathly afraid of snakes so one day he brought his boa constrictor to set and just about made the host shit his pants lol. I really want to find his episode hes only shown me pictures from a big book all the contestants got when it ended that had pictures and descriptions from every episode.
Lol oh man I'm 36 and remember all these crazy ass car shows. It got to the point they were hard to differentiate because of the overwhelming abundance of similar shows coming out the same time
"This car is so slow, so we put new rims"

“What’s wrong with her now?”

You expected quality from this channel?
Too much nos..
I think pimp my ride was a reflection of the worst part of the car scene at that time: i.e. all show, no go... lots of posers and wanna-be types.
Because that video would last five seconds long and the answer would be because the fast and the furious
I remember stopping playing NFSU2 to watch Pimp My Ride when it was a new episode. Lol
Then go back to doing the NFSU campaign. Good times
They ruined a Celica , Eclipse , 200SX and a Foxbody Mustang :(
Chouun Shiryu NFU or the show? Lol
Pimp My Ride was one of the few shows I watched on MTV back when the network was still about music and there was no Jersey Shore or Teen Mom.
Unique whips was one of my favorites back then. Nolan explained it perfectly, most of those cars still look good today. They tried to bring it back on velocity channel a couple yrs ago it didn't do too well, prefer the old speed channel stuff
I loved unique whips, and when they brought it to velocity I dvr’d and watched it religiously. Wish they wouldn’t have cancelled it
Fast"n"loud is the only car show i somewhat watch on discovery every now and then
VETTE
It’s every bit as bad as Pimp My Ride. That shop is like 10miles from my work, my boss is the owner of that gold corvette and the funny car hauler thing.
I’ve STILL never felt possessed to visit that place.
I used to love wheeler dealers. Until Ed left the show
Juan Cortez Muro reported for spam.
Same, Fast "n" loud and wheeler Dealers or the shit nowadays, also others as well like Kiding, Diesel Bros and such, we need more good car shows now
Rawlings seems like a jerk for no reason.
7:31 Isn't that the video where the rally co-driver is freaking out about 'Samir' breaking the car? xD
It's not the footage, but it's the audio overdubbed. Thanks for pointing this out cos I've been watching it non stop pissing myself
Am I surprised that Jesse James was married to Sandra Bullock, still, to this day. Yes.
Now you need to make an episode with the most ridiculous cars that Pimp My Ride built 🤣🤣
Does anyone remember the episode of "Pimp my ride", when they transformed a 240sx to put on the customizations from Need for speed underground 2?
Pimp my ride UK was even more tragic than the US version
Making slow compacts even slower :(
Now I’m curious!
@@hybridShinx "Slow compacts" I mean most hot hatches are faster than America cars.
@@gsw8734 im talking about base model hatch back not hot hatches, bylat
Wow looks like ik what im about to go look up
The Impala with the Duramax was the best episode of Pimp my Ride! Hands down
I really liked the Pimp My Ride episode where they installed a paint ball gun in the grille of a guy's car haha but I also had the PS2 Pimp My Ride game! It was tough but actually pretty good
I liked that "wtf" face in xzibit too, also when he started to loling.
10 years from now someone will be roasting youtubers like you.
Back in 2000 I wanted one of those Spongebob TVs, but then I got over it. Then I wanted to smoke weed with the cool kids, but then I got over it. So all I did was watch MTV and ate frozen burritos after school.
Who remembers “Living the low life” the show about low riders lol
I remember Vida
Vida Guerra's sexy ass is all I mainly remember lol
Seeing 50 cent’s G8 made me want one so bad. I’m so glad I bought one 3 years ago
Nice, dream achieved.
the '05 GTO looks better tho....
Zephyr the 2nd Ultimate Lifeform G8 looks 10x better. It’s more aggressive and the GTO is way too round for me
7:32 I hear what you did there 🤣
but Chip Foose was the king of the 2000's shows
I used to like that show back then. Now i think restomods are cancerous. Nothing makes me cringe more than huge modern wheels on 70s muscle cars.
@@Fucklesticks They look great, plus changing wheels is easy if it's not your thing.
I always felt the cars would have looked better without his paint or wheel choices.
Whats wrong with Chip Foose ??
he deserves a little of love
Top gear pimp my ride
And nfsu-nfsmw
Da memories
And playstation 2
@@laputin710 I had PC, bruh
@@Saikou7896 yeah old CRT monitors then.
I loved most wanted!
I still hear that song when I think of it.
Down skeet skeet skeet.
@@ridetheapex it's underground, no?
get low
YES I watched trick my truck with my dad and brother when I was younger I’d think about it every now and then but I could never remember the name, thanks for that nostalgia trip
Rust valley restorers is a really good show I’m just waiting for season 2
Nicholas Lavoie I enjoy it but they don’t show enough of the actual work being done to the cars.
Matt's Garage yeah true but still really like them
I honestly dont think there will be another season, the only entertainment is the idiot who just says dumb shit and breaks things, after seeing him on tv i wouldnt want anything that they build or fix...and i think he ended up in the negative didnt he?
"Ghost ride the whip"
Said Xzibit.
Not even gonna mention Overhalin?! Where they actually fixed mechanical issues or just upgraded them, show was dope!
Wheeler Dealers, still a favorite for me
Yes me too. can actually learn something. Ed China was pretty good at fixing almost anything. The new guy Ant is ok I guess.
Yup, although havent watched the show with the new guy who replaced Ed China. Some of the auto channels on TH-cam are great too.
Even the French version of it is cool, and for some random reason I live 300m away from where it's shot.
"Pimp my Ride" more like "Rice my Ride"
PS2 and pimp my ride are the 2 favs of 2000's
10:32 "Trick My Truck" was the only one of these I had seen, lol.
Dang bro, taking me back to my
*y o u t h*
Throw in some NFS Underground and some hot pockets and I'll cry
This entire episode unlocked memories in my brain I didn't even know I had...
It was all about....
YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN PIMPED!
You missed a golden opportunity...
"You've should've seen me before we started this episode, I was a mess!"
*Takes sip of NOS Energy Drink*
"But NOS anymore!"
Nope...... No. NO! No.
No.
I have a friend named jerry who owns a hot rod shop/garage who was on monster garage. They had to build a truck that could capture and launch a hot air balloon while the truck drove. Jerry helped design and build it as well as pilot the hot air balloon. He told me the host was deathly afraid of snakes so one day he brought his boa constrictor to set and just about made the host shit his pants lol. I really want to find his episode hes only shown me pictures from a big book all the contestants got when it ended that had pictures and descriptions from every episode.
In reference to the to early cars of the 2000s looking wacky in general:
The 2001 BMW 325 looked great VS it’s Audi rival and other cars in its class.
Even if I'm french, I remember all of these car shows
Lol oh man I'm 36 and remember all these crazy ass car shows. It got to the point they were hard to differentiate because of the overwhelming abundance of similar shows coming out the same time
You just brought me back to my childhood thank you.
Wheeler dealer the only sensible show
I liked chopshop and the bike custom show on history 18 inside west coast customs kountz
Chop shop was the best
Wheeler dealers was legendary I really enjoyed it and most importantly I learnt something from that show , alas Ed China was kicked out
Adithya Edd was cool
Counting cars on history 18 was also a nice show, although they didn't show any process of restoration and customisation but still it was enjoyable
Of course wheeler dealers was sensible haha. it was just British and basically just a negotiator and mechanic trying to make some cash
