New Worst Car Show

[pabster]

I don't watch any of those stupid shows. I spend what little free time I have washing my car or driving it.

 

[Mr.SpeedFreak]

Yeah with all the work my Charger needs I'd rather turn a wrench than watch most of the mindless sh!t on tv nowadays.. that show sounds pretty comical though

True, nothing fast, except maybe his own Shelby. I'll watch another show for actual fast cars. It's just fun to watch restorations, auctions, and the antics. He seems to lose his shirt as often as he makes a profit, but I'm sure the show is just edited that way otherwise he couldn't afford that big new building. Agree he does buy a lot of junk. I really wanna see how that red wrecked F-40 turns out! Looks like they're gonna paint it black, that is one SICK CAR, and FAST.

I'm also curious to see more of that (obviously just eye-candy) "Alloy Suicide" girl. Hubba-hubba. <3

x2 and she can at the very least pretend to weld. Good enough for me, she's a babe.

I just think it's a nice change from shows like Overhaulin, where you got Chip Foose acting like freaking Santa Claus by fulfilling every desire a car owner can think of when he isn't paying a dime for it. "Need a new crate engine? Why I'll just call my good friends at Edelbrock and they'll ship one right over as long as someone from their business gets some air time on the show to discuss it." It's like the car shows where they're showing you how Joe Shadetree can easily mod this and that, and doing it all in a state-of-the-art garage courtesy of (fill in blank) incorporated. Sorry, but most of us have to be more of MacGyver's garage and using tools, parts, and methods that God never intended to be used to fix cars than Goss' Garage.

 

[Mr.SpeedFreak]

Hahaha hit the nail right on the head with "macgyver" Bruce. These guys getting crate hemi's on overhaulin while I'm sitting here bending up a trunk pan patch from a completely different section than I need for the sake of saving money. Case in point

Still a cool show to me but you got a point

 

[2059]

What could be a better waste of 60 minutes of air time?

60 Minutes. or any other "News Magazine"

 

[Rems440]

[iraqivet01]

Please do not judge OKC by the Dumb A## on TV. I haven't seen it since I am deployed, but I could only guess.
It's like when a tornado hits here, they always interview the fat guy down the road with no shirt on. Must be something they teach at Media school.

 

[CudaChick1968]

... think of it as Fast & Furious meets The Andy Griffith Show. ...

I just spewed my chocolate milk all over my monitor. I watched the show the other night too ... and you are sooooooooooooooo right.

Now where's my Windex?

 

[Ryguytoodry]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jky79YsH0mY Guess you guys haven't watched this have you? haha

 

[Bruzilla]

I was watching Fast & Loud last night while working on some stuff, and didn't change the channel when Street Outlaws came on. I was kinda glad I didn't as one of the morons on the show finally explained why all his fellow morons believe Oklahoma City has the fastest street cars in the country.

He said he knows that because he doesn't see anyone from outside Oklahoma City coming there to race them!!! How freaking small is the world these guys live in? They actually believe that every other racer in the country thinks the cars in OK City are so fast they don't want to go there to race them! I guess the idea that no one outside of Oklahoma City knows, or cares, Oklahoma City exists never enters their tiny brains.

 

[Ghosty]

Got the DVR set to record the first few. I'm curious just how terrible this is. After one episode of Lizard Lick Towing, what could be worse?

 

[Budnicks]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jky79YsH0mY Guess you guys haven't watched this have you? haha

yeah seen that a while ago now, gang bangers street racing in LA, it was pretty bad... some poetic license & creative editing, surely has been taken with all these so called "reality shows"...

- - - Updated - - -

it's all just meant to be entertainment

 

[thomas93254]

LOL! What's up with that weirdo Tom? Boy is definitely a few cards short of a full deck, haha.

I think he has been sniffing the gas fumes a little too much

I used to rate Graveyard Carz as the worst car show ever (apologies to fans of the show), but after last night it's not even in the running for the title. I was watching the new season of Fast & Loud on Discovery, and after the season premier there was the premier of this show called Street Outlaws. Wow...

It's a show about the dark underground world of street racing in the street racing Mecca of the world... Oklahoma City, OK. That's right... Oklahoma City, OK. Who knew that this was the street racing capital of the world, or that the fastest street cars in the country (a point repeated about a dozen times in the first ten minutes of the show) are located in Oklahoma City, OK? I couldn't help but think of Ron White's old bit about being told that Cincinnati is the chili capital of the world, and he says "I don't even think you'all told the Mexican boys you were having a contest, because a Mexican boy would come up here with a goat and an onion and kick your ***!" The first thing I learned when I was starting into street racing was to always assume you weren't the fastest... I guess these doofs never learned that lesson. I also guess they don't realize there's a lot more to this country than Oklahoma City because I suspect there are lots of cars that are faster than theirs.

Then came the introduction of the guys and their rides... think of it as Fast & Furious meets The Andy Griffith Show. They're a bunch or losers (one guy says he makes his wife work double shifts so he has enough money to mod out his car... you can guess what a catch she is, and another brags how he worries more about winning races than paying his rent) and their rides look nice but their HP claims are off the charts. They're talking about some pretty moderate mods, but claiming over 1,000hp at the wheels, which is a joke for most of these guys. It looks like most of them are running N02 to get most of their horsepower increases ala the import racing guys, but as the more experienced amongst us know... N02 makes your car fast only until you run out of N02, which is usually pretty early in the evening.

Then they showed these two guys racing out in an industrial area during the day, and then they go and hide in a garage because they're worried someone heard their tire squeeling and called the cops. Anyone know of an industrial park area where someone would call the cops because they heard tires squeeling? Or where the cops would rush a unit out to investigate said call? But there were these idiots hiding in this garage with the requisite footage of a police car slowly cruising by, and the guys are saying how they can't get caught, one because he's already got enough violations that he'll lose his license for a year and the other moron claiming his license has already been suspended. I'm guessing after ruckus caused by their moonshining show, the folks at Discovery aren't eager to run a foul of that situation again, so these guys are either lying or the whole show is staged... I suspect both.

So the show is about a bunch of redneck low-life street races who sold some dork at Discovery that their cars are the fastest in the country. What could be a better waste of 60 minutes of air time?

yepper...and add duck dynasty to the list...I could submit others

 

[Budnicks]

Hey now... I like Duck Dynasty, I know it's stupid as hell, yes... but it has some great family oriented story lines & they are a tight nit & morally ethical family, I especially love Uncle Si... It's far better than, most all or allot of the damn Cop & Lawyer stuff on TV, or all soap opera & fake drama type shows or way better then any of the damn Kardassian's tramping around all over the damn place... I also like the Swamp People show, Troy saying chute `em, chute `em Jacob...LOL... it's just entertainment, it's all scripted

 

[jeryst]

I tried to pitch a TV show idea once. The guy I talked to said to forget it because the TV execs spend all their time getting show ideas from family members to make them rich. With all the absolutely moronic shows on TV nowadays, (Pretty moms, devious maids, wives, family life with stars, Street Outlaws, etc), that are not fit to watch, I totally believe it.

 

[rocky61201]

I've seen all episodes of street outlaws and agree with just about every comment made so far. Basically most of what is said by the characters or stuff that takes place is BS or scripted. And these cars are far from daily driver street cars and that single point bugs me the most. As much as they care about racing and their "list" and as much time and money they invest in it, just take it to the track already.

But the show does have some redeeming qualities. I love the guy in the piece of crap El Camino with basically thrown together old leftover parts. His combination always runs consistenly straight down the track and launches good every time. Beats the crap out of the guys that spend more time and money on their cars. For little reasons like that I'll coninue to watch the show.

 

[theman440]

Funny how all the jerk-offs on the show are so worried about getting a ticket after a bonsai run around the block at home but on "Race" night all of 'em, their cars, trailers, rigs, spectators, light plants etc. are out on that dark hwy for hours but the cops never show up...just another un-reality show.

I saw in a re-run episode yesterday, the "Chief" supposedly paid off a cop $400 {allegedly} to have his guys/the local cops {allegedly} stand down, for 4 hrs, while they race... the supposed cop said something like "the price went up from $300 to $500", because he had to {allegedly} "take care of his guys/fellow officers too", they settled on $400 instead... I was laughing the whole time too... scripted I'm sure, or else some OKC cops are in big trouble, for taking kick backs, to stand down, instead of doing their jobs... not that it couldn't happen... But I would be really surprised if it actually did...

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and defend the show (just for the sake of discussion - don't worry I don't take ANYTHING I see on TV too serious).

1) the cars are actually pretty fast. It doesn't take much YouTube searching to find the same people featured on the show because they've been splashing their stuff on YouTube for years now. That's probably how the got a deal to do a show. Some of the stuff featured is in the high 4 to low 5 second in the 1/8 mile range and that can be verified by all the YouTube videos showing unedited runs at the track with a shot of the ET at the end.

2) These same high 4/low 5 second cars are also all over recent YouTube videos street racing in some pretty sketchy/dangerous looking situations/roads. The show can probably be considered like a re-enactment of what they are really into on the YouTube videos.

3) Most of the principles are on the yellow bullet forum. The swear up and down everything filmed they are doing is real but that they have no control over how the producers edit it together, for example juxtaposing stock shots of police cars with sirens blaring with the real footage to build phony-baloney drama.
