Here comes my one-post derail - not about cars and car shows at all:
All the folks here in eastern TN, and I do mean really almost ALL folks just absolutely worship Duck Dynasty. They talk about it, many folks here claim to have met the characters in person somewhere and talk about it like their own claim to fame. Hell there's a Duck Dynasty cast of characters poster, a BIG one on the side of one of the control rooms in the mill.
Duck Dynasty.
Okay, back to cars. And scripted "reality" TV shows. Just sayin.' If the money flows, anything goes.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Since the threads already derailed, Who'd of figured. Here in Ringgold, GA at the Racetrack gas station you can purchase a replica of Si's tea cup. C'mon, really? I guess the old saying of you gotta make hay while the sun shines is still spot on!Last edited by Pumpkin; June 27, 2013, 02:21 PM."Somewhere the zebra is dancing".

Gents, there in nothing real about TV. It is a show, it is 44 minutes long + commercials, and all is edited. That F40 paid itself with TV ratings.
Understand one thing, and one thing only, it's entertaining. If you believe the TV you might be a liberal.PETE

We have it set to record every week. Whether its real or not, it's more entertaining than many "car" shows. We've been watching more on the Velocity channel and some of those shows are so dry there's no way they could be scripted, BUT they feature great cars....oh, and Overhaulin' tooWho needs sugar and spice and everything nice?

It's ok, sometimes it drives me nuts, but I have to say that it's more in the editing because if they really ran the business like that they wouldn't still be in business.
Two things that struck me, the fact that they had to farm out the Mark III fender stretching (should have just ordered wheels with the right backspacing), and the amount of problems they had on the silver L71 Vette not just ripping out the stock pieces and bolting in new catalog parts.Last edited by joebogey; June 29, 2013, 01:10 PM.sigpic

Bass fishin.'
What we're really missing is a reality TV show about bass fishin.'
Bill Dance did it way back then, but that was before "reality TV."
So if Bill Dance did it before reality TV existed, does that mean that what Bill did wasn't actually real? Or reel?Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Go get the rod with the buzzing lure, toss it out there, catch him. The same fish. I caught him 6 times in two weeks, threw him back every time, he never learned. I finally got tired of it.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Tom
someone really needs to send him this shirt
and really? they've been using Panther platform front suspensions forever, yet they had to mock it into place to find out you need a flat frame rail?
and no, I don't think they stole the idea from me - however, I'm wearing a tinfoil hat from here on outLast edited by SuperBuickGuy; July 1, 2013, 09:45 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966
