Way OT: Pimpin' My Ride

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

While not a big TV person myself, Larry you need to get out more. I didn't there was a soul out there that didn't have at least an idea of what MTV was. It revolutionized the music industry in the 80s. Anyways, yes those are all other music video stations. VH1 is kinda adult alternative, CMT=Country Music Television and BET=Black Entertainment Network. MTV=Music Television. Most of them now though play 1/3 videos, 1/3 crappy music bios, stupid shows, etc and 1/3 mildly interesting stuff. Xhibit (he's a rapper Larry) hosted the show and lately MTV has been pretty heavy on cars. Funkmaster Flex (old skool rapper) had a show for awhile where they took a celebrity's not so blingin' car and turned it into a hardcore bling machine. 
 
My one problem with the show is they did nothing to the Hi-Jet's motor. They took a brick shaped vehicle that stood about shoulder high, added 17"s, speakers and TVs into the walls and a couch in the back and added another battery. Now it probably has a top speed of about 3mph, gets real tippy in cross breezes and eats alternators on a daily basis.
