Motor City Motors - another Deuce on TV

[m16ty]

I can't even stand to finish watching that stupid a$$ show. Dumbest crap I've seen in a long time. Good idea for a show just the wrong group of people.
Just my 3 cents.

I tryed to watch it but couldn't stand to sit through the whole show.

Lame show (liked it MUCH better the first time I saw it, when it was called Monster Garage), but they didn't do anything too bad to the Deuce. They said it was a 1969 Kaiser-Jeep but it had early indicator lights and was a gasser (or at least had gasser exhaust)... it was also a rust bucket that was so bad you could see through the bed! I wanted them to run those burners long enough to catch the troop seats on fire

Me neither... I was really excited about it, too. I quit when I realized they were just going to turn the corn in to briquettes.

It really reminded me of Monster Garage as well. I like Monster garage, though (at least most of the time...)

I enjoy the engineering/ fabrication type shows but can do without all of the drama.

I enjoyed the first season of American Hot Rod. Then came the drama and it was down hill from there.

Yes that was very sad. It must have been a muti. Lots of smoke and kinda sounded like it. What a waste.

Howe and Howe tech is way better

 

[cyberspace_7]

So, you think we will see that thing for sale at the barrett jackson auctions?

 

[Goose2448]

I did see the exhust, thats what made me think it was a Gasser. But when they pulled it out it sounded like a Muti.

I stopped watching it about 1/2 way through but did turn it back on to see the end. I've raised quite a bit of corn in my life and the corn didn't look ready to me. Combines are designed to harvest dried corn also. There's no way that corn head is going to pick green corn worth a crap. There was a guy standing on the machine at the front of the conveyor. I'm thinking he was dumping corn on the conveyor to make it look like they were harvesting it. There was way more corn comming up the conveyor than that little field would put out even if they could accually pick green corn.

Waste of a great truck

Just seen the show, what an epic failure and waste of a great vehicle. The stupid chomping teeth that the team leader was so heck-bent on having failed immediately as they entered the cornfield. I'm pretty sure they sunk in the front axle with all that excessive weight, since it only drove in truck deep, and that's where it sat until close of the show. The corn roaster was a failure, because all it was capable of doing was burn the side of the corn that laid on the bottom. And for that matter, I don't think it actually harvested corn, since the corn shown growing in the field was still immature, but what was in the roaster was. Then they all celebrated like it was a success. If I knew any better, I'd say they must be execs from the big banks. Who knew people could be so joyous of their own complete failure? Ahhh, ya gotta love television.

If you watched closely the first shot of them in the "field" the conveyor was even running and the corn was piled up at the bottom, then they cut to the scene of the corn coming off the conveyor.

I doubt there will be to many more episodes.

Howe and Howe tech is way better

So far. But it looks like drama is coming to that one too.

 

[rattlecan6104]

that show sucks, watched the first one, and it dawned on me I've seen it before. It was called monster garage.

since it features a deuce I will watch it and see how pissed I will be later.

 

[ctmustang]

Man that show sucks hard. Want be watching it anymore. Can't these tv people come up with anything descent anymore. They're like hollywood writers remaking all the old good stuff and ruining it-THEY'RE ALL BRAINDEAD!

 

[hedelta]

Do you think that you will see that on GL's homepage?

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

There was a show on a few years ago called Junk Yard Wars (on cable, may still be on) where they put two teams of 4 or 5 people against each other. They had to build their project in a specific period of time, with parts they got from a junk yard. The teams had to do all their own design and fabrication including cutting, welding, etc.

Not really a reality show in the context we see now, but real people designing and building a machine to acomplish the set goal in a short period of time. Very interesting show.

Yea, THAT was a good show, Ha!

In the early days, it was very educational. They always tried to teach a science or physics lesson in each one. The teams worked together and got along. Then toward the end of the series, they fell into the same trap as all the others. The producers had to introduce conflict and controversy. The contestants started to become belligerent, egotistical, and independent.

Boy, could I tell you some stories . . . .

If you want to see a really good history of the show, check out Jay Lewis' fan site: Junkyard Wars Online


I was a contestant on two shows -
Combat Harvesters: Junkyard Mega Wars - Threshers

-and-

The Great Race: Junkyard Mega Wars - The Great Race

 

[rattlecan6104]

yeah, the show sucks and i agree the truck was a total failure, poor sad waste of a good winch truck

 

[BillF]

I wont be watching the show again. I had to change the channel about 10min into it.

I really liked the early Junkyard Wars, this was no Junkyard Wars.

It seemed to be a combination of Junkyard Wars, Monster Garage, and American Chopper.

You have the finished result of Junkyard Wars, with the prizes from Monster Garage, and the family drama of American Chopper.

I think the show was good for me as I won't be tempted to watch any new episodes
