Did you ever watch the MTV Pimp My Ride television show?

West Coast Customs and Galpin Auto Sports do awesome work converting the "buckets of bolts" that Xzibit drives in. I often wonder, however, how long these expensively upgraded cars and SUVs survive in the "hood" before being stolen or vandalized.

Do you think many are sold after up to $25k is spent converting them? I think that I saw one on E-Bay.
