Ressuscite ma caisse !

I feel that many are unfairly judging this series, it's not a 10/10 Emmy winning show, but it's not supposed to be.

It is very much 'Pimp my Ride', but comparing it directly is unfair. Firstly, many(like myself) are guilty of remembering PMR through rose tinted glasses.

Secondly a lot are being negative against Chris Redd and likely comparing him to Xzibit who, let's be honest, was the only decent person involved with PMR when the real stories came out, so he has biggest shoes to fill and deserves a little time to master the role.

Thirdly, you can't hammer the people who work on the cars too much, they are not used to being in front of the camera and need time to get used to it.

It's a light hearted show and enjoyable show to watch, I'm sure those involved will improve as it continues and deserves a chance. Hopefully, unlike PMR, we don't hear about horrible attitudes and bad goings on behind the camera.

I think this show is great considering the amount of time they do have for eps. I can see a lot of reviews (almost every) over the internet are from a specific gender, specific demographic & it shows why this show has such bad ratings considering the incredibly short sited comments that those reviewers have made i.e. Someone can't be pretty AND have trade jobs AND is apparently are an issue because their segment is short; those same reviewers have compared the show to Pimp my Ride, talking up that show SO HEAVILY in a variety of ways while ripping down this one which is funny because that show does have it's own flaws too, even tho it is also a great show and ripping down 1 thing because you can't handle the fact that more than 1 great thing in a genre can exist is rude. You need to NOT watch, use, consume, etc and avoid reviewing the new thing if you are determined to dislike/hate because of unavoidable reasoning (timing and worker cannot change that too). I didn't give it a better rating because they introduce Lacey every ep, bring her in for stuff but then don't show much about the engine work, if they extended the episodes by 5 minutes then they might be able to fit more specifics for it but also it would give bad people the fuel to make worse comments so i see why it may have been made this way. I'm not a mechanic but i do have some training for this stuff & a bit of knowledge from being super curious, also great at figuring things out with context and the show seems great to me besides what i said earlier, some other things are cut short depending on the episode because of the works that are focused on for that episode but so far it works and the jobs seem well done.

Starts off good with the first episode. The car owner is someone who could really use the help. Everything is going good until the shows host just demands they add a "pizza shooter" to the car. It was so dumb, a pure waste of time, and not something any car owner would ever want. Luckily they didn't actually attach it to the car, but it was still an incredibly stupid detour for the episode.

Second episode, the car owner is a spoiled kid who isn't even old enough to drive yet, and is about to get his license. He has no gratitude, no struggle in his life at all, so it's just a big gift to someone who totally does not deserve it, and it's hard to watch because it's so cringey. I'm all for helping people who need the help, but gifting a spoiled kid a pimped put car? No.

Couldn't bother to keep watching after the first 2 episodes. Show has no soul to it, like Rust Valley Restorations did. But at least they do some repairs to the cars, unlike pimp my ride.

Immediately upon viewing this show is a Pimp My Ride vibe. The show is aware of the comparison. The episodes are cheeky and each car still gets an unnecessary item but usually not so far it can't be removed. Most customs are pretty grounded and useful. My rating is because it felt like a little nostalgia as well as few new tricks.

The team seems to get along well with one another. I hope that the balance of showcasing each member of the team remains and doesn't become the Don, Nelson, and Chris show. Maybe in the future could be a follow up to see what the people that receive the custom did with their vehicle.

Used to watch Pimp my ride back in the day, so this show does have the same vibe and feel of the original show. But with the new team of expert resuactors, that not only keep you entertained, but also know how to bring back old cars to life. As you watch the show you get to meet the team members better and what expertise they bring to the table. Chris Redd, does a good job in bringing his style of comic relief to the show, as well as his fun and goofy self to entertain audiences.the writing and production of the show is well done. Every episode is a masterpiece, you get to see from start to finish how a car is resurrected.
