Default Anyone catch Pinks last night?

It was the domestic vs import shootout. Jeff "Got Milk" Creech was the negotiator for the domestic car. Not sure if he's a member here but he's an old timer on the F-body.org list. Pretty cool seeing someone you know on TV and it's not cops or the news

It was a turbo Honda Civic against an LT1 T/A with a D-1, 383, AFR heads and a bottle. Supposedly they were both 600hp cars but the T/A with half a tune should have put 700 to the wheels without the bottle, and looked like it did. The Honda was maybe a 12 second car and had his *** handed to him a few times.

That car runs 9.5s. It was funny to see the Honda crew call it a 10.50 car, so they would have to run it without nitrous and give up two cars. They were being setup for a nitrous run the whole time.

"Does this thing get good gas mileage?" LMFAO!

LT1 domination HAHA, Both episodes where pretty good. The first one with the Vette, that guy was making power and the other guy still wanted heads up. That is very noble no land given up but the Nova stoled the move on that dude once for sure. The civic guys where typical import types crying asking for to much, all I can say is if your going to do something like that show you better get the sand out of your vagina and let your ***** hang out.

I have to admit. I felt bad for that kid. It was clear he was out of his league. It looked like he wanted to cry when he handed over the keys!

I liked that show. I couldn't believe he kept asking for so many cars. Was that TA only running a 100 shot?

At some point i thought Civic guy was going to ask if he could be about 10 ft from the end of quarter mile since he asked for 20 car lengths. That was too funny!

from camaroz28.com:

"What they didn't show was the former owner collapsing to his knees when I took his car down the track and yes he was crying. They had to take the kid to the hospital that evening he basicly had a nervous breakdown. I did feel bad and sold him the car back two days later for less than it was worth but enough that he felt some pain. but not untill i ragged it on the dyno. I seriosly hope the kid doesn't kill himself the ricer boys are ******* him bad on the boards."
