God I hate that Show now I saw it for the 1st time and I was all WTF?!?!?!? my dad is 65yrs old and he couldnt believe the "stipulations" for a race for pink slips?!?!?! Never heard of racing for pinks the way they did in that show, not even homowood would make a movie so far from the truth in racing for a cars title.

Its called Pinks. Its on the speed channel. Two cars race on a strip and the loser gives his vehicle to the winner. It is drawn out big time with haggling back and forth on best 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5, how many links will you give me, you have to unhook the spray etc.

yep seen the show for the first time and was not impressed with it. I was thinking it was a heads up or atleast a bracket type race.

Cause if thats how people do it then there morons and I have 5grand and a Busted *** honda civic and I wanna race The fastest LS1 in the country but I want one car length away from the finish line. Giving ground just proves to me from the start that the other guy has the faster car and the other dude needs to go back to the shop and come back when his car has bigger *****.

i think the show is entertaining, but ravenous has a point. but the haggling and pissing and moaning are what makes it entertaining.
