    Years back Ravon Street Rods here in Billings had an old one in their shop that went 200 back in the 50s with Olds power {according to the owner}. It was unbelievably crude and unsafe. The guys had some stones on them back then

    Thanks for the facts and the honesty. Still enjoyed the show. Good to see another HAMB'er in the bright lights.

    Staged or not I thought it was a cool episode. I don't usually watch that particular show but I am glad I watched it then.

    They don't give a **** about entertainment,
    they just want to make money.


    Phoney drama, and fake deadlines, ****.
    Yes, I'm talking to you, Discovery Channel.

    I like the entertainment of the show, but most people dont read the disclaimer at the beginning that says " this is stories of their best finds" and that for every 100 units they buy, they might make money on 10 of them. i can also thank shows like that for making ****s with money show up to "real" storage auctions and sky rocket the prices the units go for. before the show came out i used to buy units for $75, now the same unit would go for $500. at that price no one would make money. Still good entertainment, if you want to watch a real reality show just watch some pro wrastlin'

    I missed that episode. I'll have to find it and watch it. Looks like fun,Bobby!!!
     
  22. I really gotta laugh at all the guys *****in' and mocking various shows.

    How would they know if these shows are good or bad unless they are watching them too!

    I guess there's hypocrites everywhere you go.
