Xzibit, Governor Schwarzenegger Pimp Rides For Earth Day With Earth Day 2007 coming up, MTV and the "Pimp My Ride" crew get a very special guest in the shop. As a part of a special Earth Day episode California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger visits Xzibit, Mad Mike and the rest of the crew as they take a '65 Chevy Impala, and give it a one of a kind ecological alteration. "I would like to thank MTV and the entire 'Pimp my Ride' crew for shining the spotlight on the importance of alternative fuels and the fight against global warming," said Governor Schwarzenegger. "I am very encouraged by the great potential in converting vehicles to run on biodiesel as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I am pleased that the power of MTV's message will reach an audience throughout California and the nation to reinforce the benefits of alternative-fuel vehicles and protecting our environment." With the help of Galpin, Imperium Renewables, General Motors and others, the Impala will get an 800 horsepower diesel engine that will run on biodiesel, turning it into one extraordinary clean machine. The special episode will air on April 22nd at 1 p.m. ET/PT, as part of the thinkMTV (Think.MTV.com) year long, 12-step campaign "Break The Addiction" engaging, empowering, and educating millions of young people to make smart, everyday choices that both improve their life and help curb the impact of climate change and preserve the environment.
