California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is scheduled to appear on a special episode of MTV’s Pimp My Ride on Sunday, April 22 at 1 PM ET/PT. This is actually Schwarzenegger’s way of promoting alternative fuel awareness on Earth Day.
In Pimp My Ride's Earth Day episode, Schwarzenegger teams up with Pimp My Ride host, Xzibit, as well as the rest of Galpin Auto Sports crew to make over a 1965 Chevrolet Impala and give it a "one-of-a-kind ecological alteration." The lucky owner of the Impala is a resident of North Hollywood, California named Kristoffer. His vehicle make over will consist of an 800 horsepower diesel engine that runs on biodiesel.
