Per the title, I have realized that I am not of the current generation as I have been watching a bunch of the stuff that Motor Trend tv puts on since SWMBO has been in the rehabilitation center while her ankle injury heals. She doesn't care for most of those shows, prefering to watch, of all things, the Hallmark channels! So I've been binging on Roadkill and Roadkill Garage, Iron Reserrection, Faster with Finnigan, and on and on...
And I have to ask, is it me? I don't see the reason for burnouts for the sake of the burnouts. Heating the tires at a dragstrip, that I understand. Sitting and burning down the tires until they blow out, that I don't understand.
Another thing, Freiburger, Finnigan, et al in those shows, get a pos out of a junkyard, get it running, and road trip it, that I understand. Road tripping before doing the maintenance that they do out on the road, nope! How much more enjoyable would it be to fix the dodgy stuff, even if it means one more day in the garage, rather than spending probably twice as much time out on the road doing those repairs?
So I reiterate, I know that I'm finally growing up...
