Pimp My Ride Reboot

In December 2010, MTV announced that Pimp my Ride would get rebooted in the May of 2011, hosted by Latin Rapper Pitbull & co-hosted by Avenged Sevenfold vocalist M.Shadows & on Thursday, May 5th, 2011, at 9 PM, the first episode of the new Pimp My Ride aired.

Format
Similar to the OG Show (2004 - 2007), it picks young vehicle owners and drivers from Los Angeles, New York City or elsewhere in Southern California & New York state. An episode of Pimp My Ride generally begins with the participant showing his or her vehicle, and convincing MTV that it needs to be "pimped". After this segment, the host (normally Pitbull or M.Shadows, but there are occasionally guest hosts such as Chester Bennington or Brad Pitt) shows up at the participant's house, takes a look at the car himself, makes wisecracks about the particular things that are wrong with it, and promises the owner a complete makeover of the vehicle. Episodes were filmed 5 days before their airing.

The first episode of Season 1 aired on Thursday, May 5th, 2011, at 9 PM and ended on Thursday, August 11th, 2011 at 7:30 PM.
