MTV has announced plans for a new season of its “Pimp My Ride” series, set to return for on Thursday, June 15th at 10 p.m. ET/PT. For its new season, rap star and car enthusiast Xzibit and car customization specialist Mad Mike take aim on the biggest clunkers on the road. Joining them for this new season is GAS – Galpin Auto Sports. Viewers will witness a 1988 Cadillac Limo hooked up with a 50″ plasma screen movie theater, a 1995 Mitsubishi Galant with its own white fur chaise lounge, and a 1976 ice cream truck that is destined to go out of business remodeled with some 2006 technology.

In anticipation of the new season, MTV will schedule two 4-hour blocks of “Pimp My Ride” episodes, each block airing on consecutive Sundays in June, for a total of 8 hours of programming. The first block airs on June 4th from 5:00pm – 9:00pm. The second block airs on June 11th from 10:00am – 2:00pm.

MTV.com lends its support to “Pimp My Ride” by launching the Pimp My Ride/Lincoln Mark LT Sweepstakes. Each week MTV.com users will come to the “Pimp My Ride” website and vote for one item featured on that week’s episode to be added to the Mark LT. The following week, Overdrive will feature a package showing the installation of the part that was voted on that week. At the end of the season the Mark LT will be given away to one lucky winner.
