Default PINKS - Is this show lame?

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...13315565467864

I just flipped thorugh this video..

The show is about racers who race for car titles. It's on the Speed Channel.

That episode was kind of dumb the guys racing were both morons...

Turbo Civic vs Trans-Am (Firebird?) on Nitrous - Guess which wins?

Some of them are stupid, but a few can be entertaining. Its funny to see these guys give up there ride cause there huge egos get in the way.

Unlike some people just sit around at the computer and argue which magazines say their cars are faster and bla.. bla... bla... These guys do it for real. At least they have the *****....

I like the show but I wish they would give us more info on the cars themselves. The negotiations can be pretty entertaining though. These guys must have money to burn too because they aren't nearly as upset about losing their car as I would be, that part of the show isn't very interesting.

I watched it a few times last year but I can't stand that bald headed guy (the host?)with the veins popping out of his neck and head. If they got rid of him, then I would tune in again.

lol, that's the first thing I thought of too

For some reason, this show just didn't interest me any. I'm thinking F&F wrecked it for me since it really looks based off of that. Usually I'd totally be into it because it's automotive related, but not this one. And now that I've heard that they really don't focus on the cars much, then that's a big reason for me not to watch it either.

i like the whole concept of 5 races to win the pinks, but the compromises are pretty dumb. The host pretty much pushes the action, IMO if 1 owner is an idiot then he should lose as such.... no need to make the run more fair.... if ur gonna pedal the talk then you better be prepared to pedal your bike home.
