I'm John McCain and I approve this message
ok....time for a little maniacal rant about a show I absolutely hate and yet frequently watch....a lil bit of tv turd I call Pinks on Speedvision
anywho, I have NEVER, I mean NEVER seen a mustang do well on the show. They don't just not win, they always suffer some catastrophic failure. Once, when a mustang broke down against a nissan, they brought in another mustang and it too broke down...it's disheartening...
...and to be honest, I get the sense the show's host doesn't like ford. Which, I guess is ok because he's a complete tool anyway. Last night I watched an 07 rerun where he wiped out on the track on a bike trying to show off. I haven't laughed that hard since that youtube.com video made the rounds of some guy doing a wheelie which throws his girlfriend face first off the back of the bike....
....but this bald lil man did what any tough guy would do when he falls and scrapes his wrist and bruises his thumb....he immediately pulled off that lil size 7 black t-shirt he got from the junior mrs section of walmart to show off
and out of curiosity, why does he tree the cars? Why doesn't the actual tree do it? I mean, the lights are sitting there anyway, and I know it's a low budget show, but can they really not afford the $1.22 in electricity to power the lights. Instead, he does what any girl does on a street race movie from the 60's. Maybe if he used a scarf it would really be effective
anyway, if you haven't seen it and like me, this guy irritates you, go watch the wreck, I'm sure it's on youtube and it is hilarious

Needs to be more Astony
I'm willing to guess that you have never street raced. The show is set up like a street racing is done where you negotiate spots and who gets the hit and stuff and with street racing there is no tree. and since they are doing the races in a legal setting of course the tree will still be there.

You guessed right (sorry I have no prizes to hand out) as I have only raced at a strip and only several times at that.....but they are not street racing, they are, in fact, at a strip with lights and I'm guessing his being front and center has less to do with "keeping it real" street race style and more with this idiot's desire to be in fact, front and center...at least SOME of the cars are getting better. Anyone remember the episode where someone raced a car covered in fur?

^im in the us, and I dont bother listening to all the politics either :rollinglaugh:
i dont think it's all that bad of a show, they should have a hot chick doing the arm drop though, ive seen some fords win, but it's not a big deal, and people are complete morons if they base their decision on durability of a car, on these people that spend as little as possible to build it in their backyard - most of the cars used are built specifically to lose, and not be much of a loss, if they raced their actual cars, then the show would be completely different

I've seen a mustang win a couple of times. One in particular it was against a green Ls fbody. Fox body that was supposedly a 11 second car left so hard the hatch kept opening. Camaro was faster but it was obvious he had alot more in his including many sponsors wheras the mustang looked like it was wrenched in a shed. Easily a 9 second car. Wasn't enough though Camaro broke and mustang won. An 8 second Camaro was the mustangs prize with just a tad bit of work. Another one was another fox I think against an old school car (can't remember which but I "think" it was a Nova). Stuff happens though. I doubt it was the show.

And I can and will push the button on your remarks and disrespect of Adrenalins comments.
Now get that straight inside of "your" head and pay attention to your brain talking to your sub- concience.

I have actually disrespected no one...can you point out the disrespect? Lemme make sure I understand this...I jokingly said "lemme make sure you're not on a list of countries the US has planned to invade": and you call that disrespect. We've invaded afghanistan, iraq, talk and joke about war with Iran and right wing pundits like ann coulter say we should have bombed and invaded canada for not supporting the iraq war and so I joke about the hostile climate we live in and that is called disrespect? I don't see it. Help me out here will ya?

for the record, I am not advocating invading anyone, I am joking about prevailing attitudes that, quite frankly, I am at odds with. Once my children are grown, I am selling everything to join the peace corp (yes, seriously) and travel and do what i can to give back and help humanity...if someone thinks I am an aggresor, you REALLY don't know me...but obviously, sometimes things don't translate as well on a website as you think they would

It's all good (oh boy, did I just say that **** saying). I was not disrespected, as far as I know. We just have a different sense of humour. Nothing to worry about, unless infact you really are after my beer! Then it's on.
