Everything else is a blur and for the record I think Courtney stuffs her shirt and puts on too much clown makeup to get the attention she gets I'm not a fan, but she is better than the Danica hissyfit race car driver and trailer queen before her.

funny. i prefer danica patrick to courtney.
the show with the ford guy and chevy guy was horsepower tv. chuck hanson has too many other responsibilities, so he says, to do a weekly show. they brought in that kid on the honda build and he never left - and i always associate him with the honda which is why i don't want to watch it anymore. i mean, come on, they named a car "LS Gun". too much corn for me.
i prefer to watch them building stuff, which is why i liked lou on musclecars so much. he really rolled up his shirt sleeves and got into it. with him gone, i have no idea what they're working on or why. he always gave an explanation for the cars he was working on and had a clear vision of what the end result was going to be.
it's nice to see different parts of the build over 3 or 4 shows. some of the programs jump around so much i can't tell what they're working on. stacey used to take a whole season to finish one truck - remember crazy horse?
now it's all just a blur of activity, and with all of the interns they have on there you can't tell who was doing what. when ian and jessie started out, the premise looked good, but they were kind of slow in explaining things. i mean, they explained them, but it took a whole show to tell you why they went with coil overs as opposed to leaf springs... but they matured nicely and the show still rocks - when jessie is around. funny how you don't see her lifting those mounted mudders anymore... (she had disc surgery)
