We catch mistakes like this because its Mopar related (or even just cars in general).

Makes me wonder how many more mistakes are missed on things we know nothing about? work frowwn

For anyone driving through Leclaire, IA, if you are interested in stopping at the store, don't bother. We stopped on our way to Yellowstone, because the kids wanted to see it. Nothing but t-shirts and can koozies.

There's an episode a few seasons back where they're walking through a warehouse that has 10 or so cars backed against a wall. Probably NFS because don't recall much screen time. Walks past a solid looking LRE like it's not even there. I mean, even non car people have trouble doing that.

Mike...I know an old guy that collects early Ford stuff and gas station memorabilia. This guy knew my grandfather that passed away in 1959. They stopped at his place and he told them to get the F off of my property and don't come back! laugh2

They get excited and over pay for some cars that are a tough sell and skip right over other rare cars that people would be really interested in.
They're car guy and overall guru isn't much better. One car they bought I think it was a model A was restored in the 70s with NOS parts and still looked pretty good and they got it for what was a decent price. It would be a tough stretch today to find much in the way of usable NOS stuff for them. They're guy said they paid too much because they sold millions of them.
It's still a cool show to watch and it's always interesting to see where they're going into or looking at.

We all misspeak on occasion. The difference is we don't have a camera shoved in our faces. They could have corrected themselves right away but you'd never know because that part was cut.

That is pretty embarrassing honestly, especially if these guys are into this stuff. I honestly think he needs to stick with Fords, Mike is wearing the shirt half the time and it seems like he knows a lot about em but that is just me.

I think they bought a Mercury cyclone years ago and got it fixed up.

They came to a place in northern MN. and told guy price he was going to sell his stuff for in the show but the prices were a lot lower than he would take didn't matter filmed show as if the sales were real and left with nothing and paid man for his time.

I’ve watched some parts of some shows ... never thought it was really REAL....

If I was a true picker .. I would be cruising around in WAY MORE of a rig than that.

To be able to PICKER UP all of those deals
