Haven't seen the garbage truck yet, but I've seen the Mustang mower and the Limo fire truck. That show is unreal, would be way more fun than junkyard wars.

Hell just the chance to hang out with maniacs such as Jesse James would be worth a trip. Seems they also pick some serious minds to assist.

My girlfriend has the same explorer as on that show.
Can you believe she won't let me turn it into a garbage truck!

I'd kinda like to be suprised with the end result of the creation...because they prety much show what it looks like in the commercials, and throughout the show they have little clips of it.

What competition. Its just them. I still like junk yard wars. They are really competing. Except for they always seem to get the sh** done in time...tv magic i guess.

Yup, awsome show! I've seen all 4 episodes so far. But like SPROCKET and a few others said, i would like it better if i was suprised in the end as to what it looked like. Some awsome paint jobs! . And technically, they hacked up 3 fords so far, Exp, stang, and lincoln, and then the 4th was the vw bug.

Must be nice to get free rims EVERY time



inski21, i think the competition beastie's talking about is when they race the real version of what they are making. They always seem to win by a long shot. LoL

But still AWSOME show. Can't wait until the season starts this fall.

Even worse is when they blocked the street so the limo could make it through but the fire truck had to do a 20 point turn and go around the block. Oh well, i'm not too interested in they end result, i like seeing what they do to get there.
