Ill stick with "Chop, Cut, Rebuild" and "Dream Car Garage". Spike's "Power Block" is not bad either if you can get past some of the hosts and the shameless promotions of products none of us can afford.
Jerry Slover still drives and shows that car. It's sitting at P&J's shop in Peculiar, MO.Quote:

I actually like Jimmy Shine. I think he's giving a different picture of himself in trying to act for the show.
Topic Change . . . Did Boyd swallow a watermellon whole? He looks 40 lbs heavier than the last series. He's waddling around like Donald Duck . . . well, maybe Daisy Duck, since he painted his nails pink.
We only caught the tail end of last nights show when we came in from the shop. The cars at the show were nice to see, but the rest seemed pretty blah.
It looks like Littlemans wife is putting the pressure on him to throw in the towel. Shame in a way, because he could have nailed that job, which would have put a real feather in his resume. I understand family obligations and all, but wives have to realize we are generally the primary breadwinner, and our careers have to take priority over a lot of other things. My ex was never happy when we moved around the country when I took some promotion or job change, but she always went along with it because she knew I was doing something better for the good of the family, and ultimately it would benefit us financially. It looks like he is really torn, and wants this opportunity, but that her pressure is going to make him bail out.
Opportunity only knocks once, and you have to sometimes take risks and do things that are inconvenient if you want to get ahead. Working for SoCal would be a job lots of people would give their right arm to do.

Let's mark this one on the calendar, July 20, 2007, as Dave S and Dave W have finally come to an understanding. Once. (And we probably even agree on Boyd's show)Quote:

yeah boyds wife......holy cow litterally .....starting to look like his old ride .lol
i too like jimmy shines work . but i think he is wasting time with those guys, littleman sounds like he wants to bail...ritchie is a time bomb .....for jail time ..pin up chick w metal face is just a girl ......cant see her being able to work alone to build an entire car . the other kid seems like he trips on his own shadow .....
It really makes one wonder if any of these yahoos' that produce these shows ever visit Hot Rod websites and listen to the gripes we post.I think everyones in agreement that we would rather learn the construction that goes into the build intead of this "drama" crap we have to suffer through:CRY:
Jeff,
They don't care about us. They're playing to the Jerry Springer crowd.

Yes - Dan from Chop, Cut and Rebuild was on another forum. He basically was fried in oil - and he made a valiant defense of his show but even the mods flamed him which upset me. He and I had several PM's back and forth - but he bailed out and quite frankly, don't blame him and this is one of the better shows. Also, Barry White's daughter defended her dad, also on that forum - and very well.
Gee, I can't IMAGINE what forum THAT MIGHT BE. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I couldn't agree more with you that there is no call to do that sort of thing. I get furious when I see someone just trying to ask a question or posting something and the "gang" piles on. But, it happens because the owner of the forum allows it to happen. If anything like that went on here, not only would the mods take care of it, the members themselves would not tolerate it.
I think that Jerry Springer comment is very accurate, and it also applies to some forums.

What happens with a lot of these forums and their threads is that people hide under their anonymity with a screen name and feel that as an unknown they can say anything they want without reprecussion. My feelings about those folks is best left out of this. There are several forums that I belong to for whatever reason - but there are only 4 or 5 that I participate regularly due to their inflamatory nature. There are a couple of folks that I choose not to correspond with in each of them - even here - just to keep peace in my own mind.
With that said - I'm off to Syracuse in my F350Guzzle10 in the early AM for the Right Coast nationals - and possibly see some great to outrageous cars !!!:) :)
i thought the show was more about the girls nails and attitudes then cars.....
After watching a couple episodes, I'm hoping the show will pick up and we can see more of the "creative" side of hotrodding instead of the last finsihing touches they were putting on to those last two cars. If it keeps with the Soap Opera theme, I'll probably give up on it though.
im on my laptop right now and nothing is on tv.......maybe hard shine would be cool now .
From I've seen on TV I bet it's going to be the same garbage. Sorry, I am not going to watch it any more.Quote:
