China collaborated with The Disovery Channels Pimp My Ride show to put the finishing touches on their lunar rover. In addition to the Gansta Gold paint it's riding on 8 inch Spyro Rims, has a 62 inch spoiler on the rear, a Blaupunkt stereo with 16 inch subwoofers and a Sony PS3 console. The vehicle will be featured in a new series about each country that has a lunar mission in the works that will be titled Pimp My Lunar Rover.

The shows creators had some trouble explaining why a lunar rover with a top speed of 1.3 mph needs a spoiler, why an unmanned mission needs a PS3 and a stereo, and they had a great deal of difficulty with the exact translation of "thats just how I rove bitch!" which they painted on the rear of the lunar module.
