"Rides" on TLC tonite...doing a show on "rat rods"..loosely

Anyone watching? On TLC. It's decent so far...still too "puffy" for me...

 

I'm enjoyin it.

 

anybody tape it for me???

 

Got ya covered Kustom...I'm taping...just in case...

 

Oh god, You know how many New Intro's, theres going to be..

 

very good, well done, seems to represent the scene with out painting it with a 'commercial" brush...I mean hey, who'd ever thought we'd be spending our nights watching a show about rods on mainstream tv,...pretty damn sweet if ya ask me.

 

I'm watchin, that T is pretty cool. Shoulda left it tall.
They need to show some of the processes used to create the car.

Christ, I cant believe it...no bitching ...yet!!

 

I think it's pretty decent so far.......

 

I have been watching from the beginning...
It is the best Rides to date....
Thank god there is a new "host" and we don't have to listen to that Priestly jargan!

It is really good...
It makes me want to go out to the garage and work on something....

THE END IS COMING!!
"Rat-rods rule" T-shirts are already showing up at gas stations.
Prepare to by flathead parts at Wal-Mart.
"Primer is not a crime" stickers will be sold at local skate shops..
OH, FUCK!

 

For all the people who watched the TLC and are thinking of signing onto the HAMB...

We talk about Traditional Rods and Customs, We don't talk about your 5.0 mulletmobiles, your Hondas or your VWs.

...even if they are painted flat black and have red wheels.

Thank you

 

I thought it was cool.

Much better than most everything else on.

 

Wow, Jay Leno liked this thing. I thought he hated Hot Rods. Not a bad show. Kinda skimped on what Hot Rodding came from, but at least exposure has been had.

There may be faults to find but there was a heluva lot more right about that show than wrong.
So how many of your mugs did we get to see?

 

Reckon how may people watched this tonight and have said " I got to get me one of them, where can I buy me one?"

I wonder how many hits ebay will have on items with rat rod in them?

A HERD of NEWBIES.

 

Remember, Ryan declined RIDES when they asked our little family to play in thier sandbox. He is tops in my book. But, I do think they did a good job covering trad cars and debunking the term RATRAD.

 

Not bad. I enjoyed it. Although I dread the same "West Coast Chopper, OCC" syndrome that plagues these shows.

Do you live in a cave?

Jay Leno is a car guy through and through. He loves hot rods.

 

I'm going to use it as a training video at cruise nights....

Dude, didnt you even watch the show? If you did, you would have seen that hot rodding came from Robert Williams and the choppers. At least thats what he said.

All kidding aside. I loved it. Just like HankCash said

He didn't used to. He used to call all non-restorers "butchers".

 

New show idea - MONSTER HOT ROD BUILDER

It was good to see no Gold chainers too.

as im flipping threw the channels looking for some thing to get my mind off trying to figure out how to get my car together my boss calls me and tells me to put on tlc. i put it on to her some guy in a shop taking a hacksaw to a windshield post of a 27. ok this could be cool then watching hear him speak then later taking out a tig welder then using plywood to make a floor i guess not it's just another cali local cobing a rat rot together on main srteame tv with jay leno looking at it at a car show.
