Default Bull**** run?

Has anybody seen this poor excuse for entertainment? The participants seem to have been selected from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Just turn the channel to something else...this might be more appropriate in OT.

Really? Then don't watch it.

My buddy's, Bill and George are in the VW Bus. Both are very decent hard working guys and successful. Successful enough to be able to take 3 weeks off to drive around the country side. Bill said a lot of the people were pretty cool and had a lot of fun.

I'll admit that a few of the guys on the show are tools but the producers try to get everyone to talk smack about each other. I guess that's what passes for entertainment these days. They told Bill and George to try to make fun of everyone else's cars when they first walked into the warehouse. Bill said he was checking out the other cars and forgot about talking smack!

There is a C5 in the run too so we can talk about it here!

For one thing, there's a C5 in the "competition". With a freak show crew, that still manage to sound slightly smarter than most of their foes. The Evo guys are way over the top, the show's producers seem to know little about the hardware, as well. These doofs could barely find their way out of LA. Lenny and Squiggy in the Porsche don't understand the concept of maps.
