Turn on a television set at any given time and something is being made over: a room (TLC's Trading Spaces), a house (ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition) or even a human being (Fox's The Swan). But leave it to MTV - which ushered in the reality TV era more than a decade ago with The Real World - to put its own spin on the makeover show with Pimp My Ride, a weekly series that transforms broken-down autos into tricked-out masterpieces.
