Pimp My... Golf Cart!!!

Even the person who has everything has never seen anything like this before! Featuring satellite television and a cigar humidor, not to mention the tablet P-C and totally "blinged-out" golf ball washer, the ultimate "pimped out" golf cart will be auctioned-off to benefit The Motion Picture & Television Fund, one of the entertainment industry's leading non-profit organizations.

The golf cart, which was custom-designed and built by M-T-V's "Pimp My Ride" experts along with Galpin Auto Sports, was used by Michael Douglas in the recent Michael Douglas and Friends Presented By Lexus celebrity golf event. A-O-L-dot-com, a supporter of The Motion Picture & Television Fund, donated the technology for the custom-built cart. The celebrity golf tournament, which also raised money for The Motion Picture and Television Fund, will be telecast nationally on N-B-C on June 10th, from four to six P-M Eastern time.
