Obviously,we havent got it down here yet,,probably next year,but I can honestly say,I watched SOME of the monster garage shows,SOME of the American Hotrod,a few Rides,and a whole lot of American Chopper..At least the Teutuls appeared to be having a bit of fun amongst the bovine excrement that was being filmed,I dont think I have seen anyone wreck so much stuff,and enjoy doing it.

we must not have gotten it in bama yet either perhaps next year as well..

Well it's always a blast to watch a show of non-car guys attempt to be cool and build a hot rod. The shows producers make a feeble attempt to copy the old Jesse James Monster Garage show. They must have plenty of money to throw away as they gave over $25,000 of goodies to the five participants after the "completion" of that abortion they called a "gasser". They couldn't even decide what year the stock Ford Roadster Pickup was, as it was referred to as a "28 model" at least once. The '26 Ford sedan they butchered up was listed in the TV Guide as a '28. First time I ever saw anyone build the frame to fit the body and then try to figure out the ride height. The so called "artist"s conception was absolutely pitiful. The drawing (as well as the "finished" car) were so far out of proportion that it actually made most 'rat rods' look good. The final pass down the strip was equally pitiful. They claimed 1000 HP with the blown Ford engine. The skinny slicks should have just smoked em all the way down the track. And then they lost to a 500 HP car with street tires.

I had some good laughs. I got P.O. at the stupidity being shown. The "artist" Detroit Brother should stick to "tagging" and drinking, as that is what came across as his forte on that "show". Perhaps he just realized how lame the show was and sat back and took the money. Times are tough for bike builders right now.
