Alright.. Before you all think I'm cheesy please understand, when/if you have kids, watching TV is the only thing to do on a crappy Monday night when the kids are in bed. And when you have no cable it gets even worse so.... Did anyone watch the episode of Wife Swap last night at 8:00 (eastern)? They had a rockabilly/goth couple on there. Aside from being a cool couple, you should have see their daily rides. The show didn't spend enough time on them to be honest with you, but it looked like he drove a 52 or 53 Chevy? Fuckin' sweet car. She drove an old hearse from the same decade, but I couldn't see what make it was... Packard maybe? I swear... A.D.D. TV man.. they flash stuff to quickly... Anyhow.. Pretty cool I wish i lived a warm enough climate to drive something like thatyear-round...
I drove my '55 Plymouth most of last winter, and I'm in WI Would have driven it all winter, but i can't drive in january with collector tabs in WI
I hate to say it, but i watched the same gay show !!!! My wife and kids watch it from time to time, but i havent ever been able to stand more than 30 seconds . . . I actually had the remote and left it on the channel for the hole show. . . I have to admit it was a pretty decent show and the tattooed people really came across great and intellagent. . . What about that radio fag he needed to be beat up !!! The coolest part was there son was named Deuce !!! That is my 4 year olds name !!! I bet that dude on the show is on here
They do that to keep people from putting collector tabs on their rusted out 82 caprice and using it as a daily driver. "collector" tagged cars are supposed to be occasional use vehicles, not daily drivers. I think theres also a milage restriction, but if there is i've never been bothered by it.
I saw her on the TV top Five on aol service and she was representing the goth / tat / hot rod look very well, wished i could have seen the cars.
LOL! I came so close to posting and asking if a Hamber was on that show the other night and then thought the better of it and erased it. I figured I'd have to give up my man card for watching the show.
17,000 HAMB guys just secretly voted and your man card, along with the rest of the HAMB guys that watched the show and admitted to it, is revoked. Now get back in that kitchen and finish those dishes......
Ah, but I can redeem myself. My WIFE was watching it. I happened to be sitting in the same room with my laptop while on the Hamb. Couldn't over look the hot rods on TV? It was a trap I tell you.
She drives a Hearse? Man that brought back a wild memory. Not to derail anything here but a true story.I worked at a place called Darrell & Larrys Autodynamics in the early 80s(Darrell & Larry Droke of F/X fame,,we had a chassis dyno). There was a couple that were both Mortitions,but I forgot what kind of cars they had(they were just 80s stockers) & I used to do service work on both cars.I think hers was a Jag. *His* personalized licence plate said "Embalms",,,& her plate said "Embalma". Kinda creepy but they were very nice,and just like the rest of us,different people.
Read the post, hell i thought someone really wanted to swap, Could I throw 3 kids in to sweeten the deal? Just shitten ya! Would'nt trade any of them for a million buck$, Would'nt give a nickle for another one. Love em just the way they are???? Kinda wish she felt the same
Did I watch? No. Did they have snow in 1953? Yes. They also had road salt, so most '53 anything here have frames that in a few cases have missing parts as long as my arm. I would never put another good car through a New York winter - not because it would be unreliable - but because I wouldn't want to kill another the stupid way. My '60 Pontiac would go anywhere as long as you went easy, I passed a lot of 4x4 SUVs off in ditches with it -
Pretty sure they hang out with the Checs... a friend of mine in the Checs (AZ) knows them well. Apparently thier backyard has a couple builders in it, but i didn't seem them show it... i was waiting to see it, because my buddy said they have some really cool cars.
I think I get why they named their son "Deuce", it sounds cool to us as car nuts...but I wonder if the kids at school just call him "Number 2". You can't tell me neither one of these parents ever heard the phrase, "I gotta go drop a deuce", as in take a dump?!
Did we ever figure out who the dude on Springer or whatever was from a few years back? I still remember him saying 'I'm a HAMBer, baby' to his wife as she was prattling on about how all he thinks about is cars. Anyone even remember the thread/video that was posted?
Ya I saw it. Only because I know those cats. And Yes She drives The hearse. It is a 50 or 51 Packard. They are a cool couple. She runs Lucky 11. http://www.lucky-11.com/ I was invited to that party they had in the beginning of the show (when the other mom says "they are all alike") and couldn't make it. But it was cool to see many of my friends on TV! But the show does suck. At least she told that douche to shut the hell up. HAHA
I saw it and I kind of like the show, it's got pirattitude. They should've shown the cars better, and had the swapped wife drive it. The good part of the show is when someone learns something about their family. The gothy chick seemed to learn that she shouldn't impose her dress code on her daughter. Thanks, Kurt
