Graveyard Carz

the wife says, why is he letting those two guys drive the cuda around? wouldnt the owners be upset when they see their car cruising around?    well, we laughed our buts off when we seen it was on the back of the truck.

The last episode had about 3 minutes worth of worthwhile content. 

Thank goodness for the fast forward button.

How about 3 minutes of time driving to Quizno's to pick up a lunch order?  That was a complete waste of everyones time!

Would you be complaining as much if they went to Hooters instead?

That wouldnt be a waste of time.

No kidding. I wonder how much advertising dollars they got from them, and from everyone else they constantly mention?

Anybody else notice how low Mark was sitting in the driver's seat of the Cuda?  I know he's not Shaq or anything but it looked unnatural, like there was no seat bracket underneath the seat or something.

It's a show getting better in my world of TV, which is worthy of getting DVR'd. There's a bunch of fake and rehearsed scenes, but it beats a bunch or garbage on TV now.

Pretty good show last night!  Cool info on the superbirds and putting front end together on the Cuda!

"Long turd" is a great nickname!!  LOL.

i did like the run down of the 2 bird story. reading it on here, and then seeing it on tv was cool.

Yeap, it was nice seeing Mike and Mike Jr. I haven't seen them since we got to know each other during the '04 Talladega AeroWarriors Meet. I bet both Mikes had a blast....

They should have a SPECIAL Show with Mark taking all the incorrectly plated/painted front ends apart and redoing them!!!

I believe he's corrected these inaccuracies. I spoke to him a few weeks ago about Tom's Daytona and lower control arms in general ( saw the ones he did for the Phantom 'Cuda ). He was very receptive to input. These episodes we're seeing now were filmed last year..

it's a constant ongoing commercial  , just more free/discounted stuff & extra cash for Mark

Seriously? They must have had a different episode on my tv because what I learned was that it takes 3 guys to assemble a K-frame and when you get down to it, barely anything was actually shown of the assembly. Worthwhile content: 45 seconds. Fluff: 5 minutes. Yes, the 4 minutes of the Superbird story(near the end) was very good, but other than that, there was nothing but fluff and nonsene in between.  I kept waiting to see something of real substance, but once again, the show didn't fail to let me down. Oh wait, Mark did manage to mention a new brand name; Outback steak house. I wonder how many free meals that got him. 

[rooks]

As mentioned I like this how. I understand the need for "drama" to capture the casual TV audience, but the last episode was the most complete waste of potential awesome in the history of ever.

They had this great story about how a dude growing up heard an urban myth about a Plymouth Superbird sitting on some dude's property in his neighbourhood. Some guy that would apparently shoot you if you went near his house. This dude, building a clone Superbird with some original parts, decides to knock on his door and ask for some help/information - they start to talk and discovers he has 2 (yes, TWO) Superbird's sitting side by side on the same property (and a bunch of other cars). He decides to sell both because the buyer promises one will be for himself, and the other for his son. All this magnificent history, and GYC even have one of these Superbird's sitting in front of them in their workshop, untouched for however many years, waiting for an expert to give the world a history lesson - and these <expletive deleted word starting with a C> spend 95% of the episode carrying on with some stupid crap about a <expletive> birthday party.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

I know it's TV. I know I'm not supposed to get invested with fiction, but I've never been more disappointed in a TV show. The episode finished with the story that it should have started with.

Turban, you beat me to it. I was thinking nearly the same thing. The only time I was just about "glued" to the TV was watching the history of the 'Birds. Which, ironically, isn't THAT what the show is supposed to be about in the first place??
I kept wondering why it takes 4 people to assemble a front suspension, 4 people to disassemble a rear end, or 2 people to read a VIN (which could be done with one and a digital camera...)? 
I'd much like to see more work & less banter, that's just me. But, it IS the only show that is nothing but Mopars, so I continue to watch it and inflict self-abuse.

Same here.

On a related note, what was all that bs about properly indexing the pitman arm? Every pitman arm I ever installed could only go on one way.

Long turd, that's funny.

Thank you!!!  That's what that mark in the spline is for.

I still watch, hoping some how, some way it will be better... 95% crap 5% decent most all the time, but I am getting use to the players now, maybe that will help to hold my attention a little better.. they missed a great opportunity to elaborate a ton more on the Superbirds & the Daytona, they have for latter in the series... I guess both cars are owned by members on here...
