I saw it for the first time on Sunday. They turned an SUV into a trash truck, complete with garbage arm that comes outta the damn thing and works! They also turned a limo into a firetruck. It kinda leaked but looked cool. THEN...last nite they're showing it again! They turned a Mustang into a 100 mile an hour lawnmower! Super nice green flake paintjob! I think that Jesse James guy is full of himself but hey its Hollywood and I actually am liking this show. How long has this thing been on? I just noticed it?! BTW, that prize of a bunch of tools is wack! They need to give them some cold hard CA$H!
Those were the first 4 but I think it's going to be like 8-10 episodes a season and there was 4 of em That "Freebee " crap has already gotten on my nerves and I wish they would actually show the machine working at the end instead of that lame staged crap - ala Junkyard Wars USE THE THING It's geeky but I love it oh and anyone that can handle a raked out 150 hp chopper w/ suicide shifter has my respect
I watched both of them on Sunday (which was the premiere of the show, I think). Jesse was pretty arrogant in the first one...he kept saying over and over that this hydraulic engineer's idea wasn't going to work, etc. I'm not really sure exactly why they have him on the show. I guess its to have a host of sorts, since he doesn't seem to actually do any of the work...plus I guess Discovery Channel is in good with him after both Motorcycle Mania specials they did on him. I missed the Mustang lawnmower one...it looked pretty sweet. All of the cars they have done so far have been really tricked out. The tools 'prize' was ok and all for the first show; I was pretty suprised that its the standard giveaway for every show. It would probably do them good to change it up a bit, or do away with it altogether, since I doubt there will be an episode where they fail in their mission... What I can't stand are the graphics and sound-effects...especially the "freebie freebie zip zero nada" part (that HAS to go). Overall, its a pretty cool show, though. I wish they would get rid of the whole "contest" feeling, though and spend the extra time showing the design/engineering and actual work being done instead...that's why I'm watching...
Coolest ep=Firetruck limo!!! The front end of the VW almost sank...lmao! The stang's side mowers were only decorative...big question on the mower starter...why did they pay 3x if the damn starter didn't work? that screwed up their budget! Return the defective and get a new one free... I caught the dump truck show late, but hey...it hooked me anyway! Awesome show!!!
