Maybe its because they are the only team that still has a show on discovery, but watch the premiere of fast and louds new season, get a code and enter to win a the second place bike.

Thinking that might be a new angle for these bikes, let them build them, have raffles for the bikes and the votes coincide with which bike you enter to win. Odds of winning the fan favorites might change voting and make it more fair and not just allow certain builders to do their dream bikes or be paid to prototype an all aluminum milled frame.

 Nothing those hacks could do to improve their fanbase. Every episode I've watched them get hosed on cars they should've spent time and money to do a quality refined restoration, only to hack something medicore an lay the Gas Monkee touch to it, an not make a damn single dime on it...  Cool.... What they did to that Apache destroying the frame to lower it to make it gas Monkee, I wouldn't want to touch that with w ten foot pole..  Just torching notches in the frame without boxing it to reinforce the frame....  Shoddy work on P.O.S. vechicles.   An richard, maybe he'd do some work instead of playing on the puter...

The couple of times I've watched this show they ended up taking their "product" to an auction, where they got no bids. Plus they're pretty unlikeable.

Why is this on TV?

 The same thing goes for me as well Anita on all counts!  The couple, three times I've watched the show the cars didn't sell at auction and the guys aren't very likeable.  I did get a hoot out of the PJD spoof of Gas Monkey though; which included the auction.

If you saw Jason Lee in My name is earl series, you get why Rollins is funny. No question I would rather see one route or the other. too rushed to get the cars done, or bail on a decent frame on the 32 that needed some work and get a 12,000.oo resto frame instead. Really didnt like the fact that Scott had his own shop and just helped there for the show, then they made it out like he left to open his own shop. It is a great show? no, is it a good show, sometimes. but what do we have left on basic cable?

Was looking for info on the accident that one of the Gas Monkey Garage mechanics was involved in, while driving a '67 Mustang which the shop had just purchased. I found some interesting posts on this forum regarding the accident, and some of the behind the scenes stuff which went on during the Biker Build-off.

Wow. According to some anonymous poster on a message board, between ranting on his cellphone, passing out beers to visiting tourists and speeding off to wreck a Mustang, Richard told a total stranger that JJ and Paul Jr. had asked for an extension because they were behind.

Good enough for me. If it's on the internet, it must be true.

Except for the minor detail of hearing "Junior" after "Paul" instead of "Senior," that is. (It was Senior who said he took advantage of the extension, not Junior, and even then, Senior didn't ASK for an extension in the first place. The only one who asked for - and got - an extension was JJ.)

"Said that Jr and James were wanting an extension because thay couldn't make deadline and Discovery Channel wasn't going to make them forfeit."



Huh. They only showed JJ wanting the extension on TV, nothing about Jr. Maybe ElGuapo is right, and they did bend over backwards to always make Jr come out the good guy.

 They where Planning F n' L to beat Junior in order to make it a way for the show to bow out gracefully.  An the reason JJ was even late on it was that Senior had him do a special on air build for his rat rod..

 

There was serious manipulation done, an when it blew-up in there faces.  So went American Chopper an Any chance the teutuls would be on Discovery again.

While the F&L bike was nice enough, it wasn't nice enough to have come in second place in a build-off. My neighbor down the street could have built that bike just as well, if not better.

While I'm usually in the keep it original crowd, that Mustang actually looked better in triple black than it did in the Wimbeldon White. I agree about that thing being loaded with plastic, that should've been a new quarter panel. I'd bet money that he claimed the totaled vehicle on his shop's insurance, even though he said that "his premiums would explode".  He did have a bit of a temper tantrum, but I have to give that woman credit who witnessed the accident, and stopped to assist, there should be more people like her in this world.

The WIN FRED contest ends at midnight tonight! The code was released during the new episode last night, but we hear it was a little hard to read. Here's to hoping you TIVOed or DVRed it because we're not allowed to announce the code online. Go to fastnloudsweeps.com to enter!

Per their facebook.

was in the hospital with my dad again, missed the show, but I am sure it will air a few hundred more times this month.

 Actually, with the Survivor white top, original color, Higher Dollar color would've been a playboy Pink or Turquiose, or touched up the Arcadian Blue(Look at it close), orginal Blue interior.  

There was a saleman friend I had about 15 yrs ago that said you take them, paint'em lipstick red, and they sell before the paint dries.  He painted a orginal 70's ltd convertible originally that dark brown metalliac that Ford used in the 70's.  this bright red, and it just flew out the door.    I stopped hanging around him after he took a beautiful Tor-red 73 340 'Cuda put shackles and a set of 10-inch centerlines, and tramp stamped all of her dignity out of the lovely lady by painting it lipstick red..

 I guess I was on the right track. If it were mine I'd paint it Red (because Red is the fastest color) do the interior Blue and leave the white top. Black tops in south Texas suck!

Shiny Red mustang covertibles always are smoking hot... White top... Least then maybe that uninsured driver could've seen it a little better.
