That is so weird that you posted this - I was going to ask the same thing regarding JunkYard Wars. Very cool show (although the last one with the gliders was a little lame...)

Too funny...

there was an episode when they built a dragster and ran 14's! i think that was pretty good considering it was all junkyard parts. no tuning was involved.

i like junkyard wars better, maybe cause i like using old usless shit and making it work. battlebots dosnt hold my interest as well, and why is battlebots on comedy central, the only funny thing is the mullets some of those guys have

I don't watch battlebots, but junkyard wars is sweet. The dragster one was cool, and so was the off road racing one.

The first two seasons of Junkyard were the best. Although the very attractive blonde is still with us, they seem to find an unending array of idiot co-hosts to bombard us with. I love the show anyhoo.

Battlebots is a neat concept, but with the constant replay of older episodes, its hard to know which season or fight you are watching. I love watching a few builders fight. There is a lot of fluff, but those of us that have watched since the start have seen the progression of those builders. Shame on ComedyCentral for poor programming control.




BTW, unrelated, the new ES300 is a killer looking car. Saw one yesterday in a lot and chilled w/ the owner for a while.

We should have a team to go on JY Wars. I looked before and couldnt find anything but im sure there has to be somewhere. Could you imagine what we could come up with.

Oh and did you see the new Battle Bots toys. Those things are cool, I might get one a chase my cats around the house with it.

The funnies one that i saw was when the police pulled ove ra drunk guy, and you know the tests cover one eye with the hand and follow the light. So the guy replies that he can't 'casue he has a glass eye. The policeman "Sorry sir wich one ?" then the drunk guy replies "Both of them sir and collapses" You gotta see it to be funny.

Kinda like the one where the cop said put your finger on your nose and the guys sayd "I dont know what you mean" so the cop shows him, then the guy tries to put his finger on the cops nose..
