I always found Tony to be kind of arrogant - Lucky seems like a humble, talented guy I'd like to have a beer with. Alex Taylor brings skill and experience and obviously isn't afraid to get dirty. Chemistry with Lucky seemed good for a 1st episode and I wont cry over Tony's departure.

However, same network, different topic - the new show with Courtney Hansen is simply garbage! If you took every trite, made up BS Car Show drama moment from an entire season of Gas Monkey Garage added in a big helping of Overhauling sympathy plays (but skipped out on Chip Foose Talent) it still wouldn't be as bad as this crap! If Courtney Hansen was still good looking it could have been worthwhile to watch on Mute but despite being a former fashion/fitness model she looks like a sad, middle aged divorcee trying to entice guys a decade younger at Thursday Night Karaoke night down at the VFW.

I almost said something about Courtney's new show for comparison. I wished she would have stayed a brunette. Her show is what I don't like about most of the shows on MT.

I think Feiburger keeps Hot Rod Garage at arms length. Lucky is an LS man but I think they will maintain a balance of makes.

If he didn’t break stuff, he wouldn’t have anything to put on the show.

Seen a commercial for new show she has and she is still hot! Cristy Lee dropped off the radar but has a new home show. I think she should stick with cars.

I think Courtney is still looking awesome, but I'm old. But that still wasn't enough to get past the first 2 minutes of the "let's give a free car to those po' underprivileged folks" show.


Alex did great on the first episode with Lucky, she seemed very natural, even though I'm sure the show was mostly scripted.

Regarding Tony, when he saved the day had drag week 2019 by rebuilding the G-Force transmission in the pits then bench pressing it back into Blasphemi, I gained a lot of respect for him. He's the real deal.

Now my 7 day free trial is over, I'll have to wait for the $1 per month MTOD Christmas deal to see the next episode.

be careful of the $1.00 per month deal, especially if using a credit card.
my one buddy did, then had to dispute the normal charge for MTOD they put on his credit card.

I'll wait till they air them on regular TV like they did with Motor Mithbusters. Wonder if they will bring that back?

I signed up for MTOD during one of their specials and never had a problem. Then I got screwed because they offered me a great renewal price but I cancelled it because Hagerty was giving a years subscription for free and ever since ever time I try to use their promotions it says not available for Canada mad

It does get old watching their stuff break even more than roadkill junk but I think most of that is due to time and budget constraints, they seem to be trying to build these things in 2-3 days on shoestring budgets. The new lawn mower racing episode is hilarious


The latest episode with the Pinto Wagon was downright awsome. As he said at the end, it was the one episode where they actually DID go faster! laugh2

I watch both of his channels regularly.

For all the deadline pressure he must be under, he still seems to be genuinely enjoying himself.

i was one of the nay sayers with alex on the show because i liked tony, but... alex is the real deal for sure. the tuning and transbrake stuff i was impressed with on the first episode. she tuned the camaro to low 10's pretty quickly. 7/10's improvement with not much effort.

Yeah I saw the mustang episode of that. The recycled phrases from his youtube channel will get old fast but he's more interesting to watch then some of the others.
I'm getting a bit tired of all those rescue shows they've been way over done. It's interesting to see what they find tho.

Ah, Roadworthy...I find myself laughing out loud watching it, but some of the hackery - like Roadkill - makes me cringe.
The Dodge truck ignition repair was bizarre, though.
His euphemisms are wearing a bit thin, but he's playing the hick card, and I want to repeat a couple for a few people I know when we're wrenching.
I wouldn't spin an engine over without pre-oiling & fresh oil after 20-some years of sitting, but they seem to survive it...at least briefly...

That's where the i-talian tune up comes in.

I understand what you are referring to but I don't understand why he calls it that. Any insight? shruggy

Back in the day, an "Italian tune-up" meant driving at high RPM for a good long time.
I'd say anyone using that term for a cold start-up is misusing the term, but they do use some terminology differently in the Southeast...
I'm still laughing at "spark hoses" for spark plug wires, and some of his other terminology, so no worries.

Notice the Roadkill Challenger in the background at the RR shop ? Methinks there's a tie-in of some sort.

Sparkalators, water whirler, ice cube juice... iagree
I saw in one of his YT vids it mentioned he purchased the Vanishing Paint Challenger from them. Derek was however on the first Hoopty Challenge hosted by Freiburger. Oddly enough, one of his early vids had him saying something to the effect of ,"I'm by myself here. I don't have a film crew like Roadkill" but Roadkill was bleeped out so it was R*bleep*ill.
