Fast ‘n Loud Firebird Prototype "Barn Find" Pair was actually a load of BS!

The only "reality" auto related TV show I enjoy watching anymore these days is Overhaulin'.
It's not about flippers, they highlight actual car work and you can learn something in the process, and any drama is done tastefully all in fun with some good clean humor.

I watched the second show last night, I kind of liked it. Do I wait for the next show to air? No. Still worth watching sometimes.

Watching the 2nd episode it seems that they avoided the term prototype and stuck with car #1 & 2.  I have to admit that I wasn't counting the words they used though as I was busy looking at RAM trucks.  :icon_smile_big:

Interesting, I can still sit through Overhaulin and enjoy the show but I really miss Courtney Hansen. She is the only one that even had a clue about cars. I stand corrected, sometimes they have the girls from All Girls Garage as part of the builds and I can totally deal with that. But the pretty face girl should be replaced with someone that knows which end of a wrench is the working end.  :P It hurts to watch..

The butthurt is strong around here for "Flippers"  :icon_smile_big: :lol: The cars looked nice, If the seller is happy and the buyer is happy WHO CARES!???

Bubba ought to redo the interior on LEE1.  Maybe paint the car green while he's at it.

Just like those who claim at age 55, to have "built" 400 cars...

Wow, I'll need to really get cracking if I want touch a number like that.  Not many years and hundreds of cars off the pace. :lol:

Cooter

We got this guy here that likes to tout this. His number isn't far off either.
I've corrected him numerous times, only to hear him touting this stupid sh*t at cruise nights all over again.
people are so gullible, or they simply do not care to call bullsh*t anymore. Too many pansy ass people.

If you allow it to continue, sooner or later misinformation (READ LIES) will all but become the 'truth'.
Somebody has to be the "bubble buster". Just cause you mighta owned 300 cars and waxed half of em and the rest you installed four bbl carbs on, does NOT mean you 'built' 300 freaking cars.

He probably should being that the only thing LEE1 on that car is the firewall..

so who saw the episode where they get the "holy grail " 69 boss429 triple black car , bought it for 127K and sold for 160 K


  and 71 GA4  383 magnum  SE

I didn't as I rarely watch them.  I did watch a few episodes when I first became aware of it but it didn't take long to figure out it was just another scripted reality drama.  Now I need to be really bored to leave it on.
I don't think I've seen 3X black Boss 9.

I don't get it ?

Lies. No way in hell one could build 400 cars when it usually takes at least 2-5 years to build one wreck.
