"My Lexus is all pimped out. When I take my kids to Denny's on Sundays, people expect to see me driving a pimped car. I have my reputation."

-------------------------------------------------

The new season of Pimp My Ride has finally arrived. When I saw that X to the Z had abandoned West Coast Autos I began to panic. The appearance of Mr. Electronics Mad Mike Martin gave me some hope. But then I saw a new owner. And then I saw a new paint guy. And then I saw a new wheels guys. And then I saw no Ish.

And then I changed the channel. I will no watch Pimp My Ride without my man Ish. No one can match his wizardy of upholstry or his broken hip hop English. I will boycott Pimp My Ride (and hopefully the 7 visitors to this site will follow my lead) until Ish returns.

Motor Trend respects Ish. "And Ish, 31, a Tijuana-born craftsman who turns out exquisitely stitched seats and other custom pieces for WCC and for himself."

Mr. Airbags respects Ish. "The interior guy Ish cracks me up bad :rofl:"

The Bloody Munchkin respects Ish. "The teasers show a whole new cast. Which makes me sad. It makes me more than sad. It breaks my heart actually. It breaks my heart into a million teeny-tiny pieces. You mean to tell me, that this new season is devoid of Ish? And Big Dane? And, and Alex? And, and, and Danny? I just, I just... *Sob*. I do not know what to do with this information."

IMDb respects Ish.

Wikipedia respects Ish. "tough-looking interior and fabric maven Ish,"

N+1 respects Ish. "We see only the barest glimpse of the West Coast craftsmen, such as Ish, a former gang member who learned upholstery from his uncle. Ish’s interiors combine old-world craftsmanship and a smart sense of color, texture, and design, while his Chicano hoodlum look keeps up the image of an underground chop shop for what is actually a major retailer"
