Wow, what can I say about your EXECUTIVE SUMMARY other than I seriously hope for goodness sakes of their corporate bottom line, that no one was foolish enough to pay you as an executive of their company.

You mention; "the "redneck" from "Deliverance" repeating (just in case you missed it the first half-dozen times) "They goin' home in a cardboard box.")", which sounds an awfully lot like the pot calling the kettle black after seeing your repetitive brain farts with correctly naming Chad as a partner to David (see below).

I'm not sure how much time you wasted taking notes and writing your post, but I read your diatribe in two minutes and discounted it in two seconds.
Better luck next time Speedzzter ...
:P

I'm not sure how much time you wasted taking notes and writing your post, but I read your diatribe in two minutes and discounted it in two seconds.

Hmmm? 20 minutes of programming summarized in a 2 minute read. That sounds like an Executive Summary to me. (And considering that what I'm usually paid (quite handsomely) to write is 20 to 50 pages at a pop, this dalliance was relatively abbreviated).

BTW, I took no notes of the telecast. And I was reading the latest issue of High Performance Pontiac magazine while I watched!

What about my summary did you find inaccurate or misleading?

You mention; "the "redneck" from "Deliverance" repeating (just in case you missed it the first half-dozen times) "They goin' home in a cardboard box.")", which sounds an awfully lot like the pot calling the kettle black after seeing your repetitive brain farts with correctly naming Chad as a partner to David (see below).

If that was an ill fated attempt at humor, consider it a major FAIL !!

Sorry you didn't like it. (I'm glad that Randal got it, though)

It was merely a running joke inspired by Chad's feigned umbrage at being slighted earlier in this thread and my response to the effect that Chad, for all of his numerous creative merits, popularity, and Bangshift/Car Junkie status, is typecast as DF's sidekick. It was merely good-natured ribbing that nobody (hopefully) takes seriously.

It's clearly not the same thing as repeating the same insipid sound bite over and over (a technque which seems to be a tiresome trope of reality television to maintain audience through the commercial breaks)

I thought my running joke was more creative than some of the tiresome "trash talk" on "Will Wreck Anything" or whatever its called.

And would a dry, humorless summary of the show have been better? Or another sycophantic "you guys rock" posting?

I will say that I didn't "waste" enough time because my little report a/k/a diatribe still contains too many cliches (e.g. the "Deliverance" reference, "knife to a gunfight") and really isn't "tight" enough. Such are the hazards of quick, unedited blogging. It takes a lot longer to produce a quality piece of short writing than it does to dash off thoughts in long form.

Well Chad, at least he didn't call you Lacey. :D

Or Gabrielle. (Zena's sidekick)
Or Woodstock. (Snoopy's sidekick) . . . :D

And more to the point, what do you need brakes for when (a) a bent rear wheel rubbing on the body restricts your car to walking speed and (b) you're spending most of your time facing backwards anyway. ;D

I did think the "I've got no brakes" line was Top Gear-esque (i.e. Clarkson, Hammond or May utters it at least once every time they're racing beaters)

Re: Video: Outakes from the New TV Show \

I got to say, I loved the show. Had my kids and I glued to our seats for those crazy 30 minutes. BUT!!!...haha...you knew it was coming. What was the deal with that one hillbilly crashing that 69-70 Pontiac Grand Prix? Are you serious???...Have you dudes seen what those things are going for? I am looking for one to restore myself and to see that beautiful old car wrecked like that just brought a tear to my eye. :-\

Anyway, kick ass show. Looking forward to the next one. ;D

Toe,

We had the same reaction to the GP until we walked up to it. They had painted it the night before, it was good from afar, but far from good. It was rusted out everywhere. There were a couple of good parts to be had on that car I'm sure, but the car itself was not worth restoring. We aren't talking California guy rust, I'm talking midwest/northeast rust. Badness.

Well, I guess if you put it that way. Looking forward to the next episode for sure. Thanks for the quick reply. 8)

Don't worry Speed, it didn't hurt my feelings. Clearly DF has been at this game longer than I have, and is the most recognizable name. I am charming and better looking though.

I got the names, and that is was funny too.

I am shocked that someone who gets paid for their pen, so handsomely, would write so much about us for free. Thanks. I think it would be really funny if you were the guy we hired to write the transcript of the show! Your version would be really funny.

I appreciate the humor in this and I am glad Chad does too.

It's kind of like being a wine taster, Chad . . . you've periodically got to cleanse the palate. (Of course blogging for free may be like cleansing with Thunderbird . . . .)

Besides, just like every truck driver thinks he can be the next Dale Earnhardt, or every line worker thinks he could do Bill Ford's job (well that one might not be such a stretch), I probably subconsciously think that subscribing to a couple dozen car magazines and being able to granny shift without missing too often makes me an undiscovered Brock Yates or Roger Huntington.

(Back in the '80s I used to mercilessly powershift my 56 h.p. diesel Tempo and believe I was the next Bill Elliott. . . so delusional thinking has hardly been scarce around the Speedzzter World Headquarters)

Of course, the great SEMA Show play-editor-for-a-day chingo (where I didn't run across ANY of my SIM/BS editorial heros (sandal clad or otherwise), but I did click off a blurry snapshot of Stacy David and Gene Winfield flashing the ubiquitous "thumbs up" sign) tends to prove otherwise.

Still, like one of those amateur duffers with a hopeless double-digit handicap and a wardrobe of colorful golf pants patterned after well-used casino carpets, I bang out the occasional pretentious automotive musing and appreciate it when somebody . . . anybody . . . "gets it."

Not that I'd turn down a paying gig on the side . . . . ;)

You don't have to be a good driver or a great writer to write for a car magazine. In fact, being either one generally hurts more than helps. Trust me on that. ;)

Ok, ok, at first read it came across as a bashing, flaming writeup and after several late morning Bloody Mary's, it got me riled up.

I agree that a two minute synopsis of a twenty minutes program is exactly what an Executive Summary is. Also, if you did watch the pilot while reading an HPP magazine and wrote your blog after the show was over without referring to any notes, you did a pretty amazing job. I'm big enough to apologize and should probably let Chad stick up for himself anyhow ... he is very good at it by himself.

This rebuttal to my post was pretty good and I can't argue with the fact that you are indeed a well versed journalist. But, for the record, I never stated that anything in your summary was inaccurate or misleading. I also must admit that I was getting a little annoyed at the redneck who monotonously repeated "He's going home in a box" too, whether or not he actually said it that many times or it was the producers of the show.

Lastly, if your recollection is that good, you definitely realize the show was titled "Will Race Anything" and not "Will Wreck Anything", although this is probably another witty joke.

Steve, you're sharp as a marble this time.

I thought SpeedZ was funny. Just amazed at the time dedication.

Hey Freiburger, I think I coined that phrase in your signature, and I demand attribution--or retribution!
