Let's do one ourselves. What should we call it? "Design on a dime", "Copycats", "Under Haulin", "Over Budget", "Flipped Off"----help me out here.

I'm pretty sure the reason Dale Jr. and Mountain Dew picked the Gas Monkey Garage to build their car is because right now it is one of the most popular car related shows on television. If Desert Car Kings had a higher rating, they probably would have used them. I don't look at it as they paid seventy five thousand dollars to get a half ass built nomad, but they paid seventy five thousand dollars to get three million dollars worth of air time. Not bad marketing if you ask me, they've got all of us talking about it.

You mean the one where Sam, his Dad, overhauled it?!?! You must have seen another show, cause that was far from a "bunch of half asses" "ruining his truck". Chip noted how his Dad did all the little things he (Chip) always intended to do.

To me Gas Monkey garage buys cars, puts minimal work and effort into something to flip it for money. They don't advertise a rotisserie restore, instead they breath new life into old cars to keep them on the road and out of the junkyard. After the first couple of episodes, i quit paying attention to prices paid, and profits made. I also believe those are somewhat fabricated. Instead i watch the show for the entertainment factor, and to see what they are going to do next...mainly what tom is going to do. HA
Tom is hilarious.

Over Budget - lol, perfect!


I always figured on overhauling they don't always finish the car. A dead giveaway are the episodes you never see the car move under its own power.

Lets not forget that Sam Foose was Chip's teacher in all things Hotrod and Sam and the crew didn't let Chip down. That was a cool F100 for sure.

It's clear I was speaking out of my ass and don't know what I'm talking about. Neither Chip or his dad are half asses and the f100 looks real nice.
