To answer the questions about Mike's wheels, I am 90% certain it was only for this program. His CV2s have a shallower offset than the CV3's I am pretty sure. Now, I have not ever driven a car with wheels and stance that are that aggressive, but I would imagine the different offsets side to side would make it drive weird. but then again, I dont know. I do know a few people that do this with different sets of wheels, but they only do it for shows/photshoots.



I prefer the 5 spokes personally, but the others look good too!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. I won't spoil what other cars, etc I was up against or the outcome.

One of the biggest deals of the show is the surprise unveiling to get your faces and thoughts seeing the vehicle for the first time. It was also interesting for us contestants to try to guess what everyone drove before the unveilings. I will share they were shocked I had a Lexus and a hybrid on top of that and the way it was modded. One of them said "I thought you were going to have an Impala or something"

When we did film it was an all day affair and it took some of my Weekends from my patient wife. One of the days I invited the contestants to come to a meet I organized at Bo's Tilted Kilt so the entire day was another day full of cars (meet pics here). That was also the same day I ran into a brand new black GS F-sport driven by corporate and met a nice lady from Lexus. The Car Gods were shining on me Comparison pics by clicking here



We got really fortunate the day I filmed the car b/c it was supposed to rain hard, 90% chance but again, the car gods shined on us and we got away with barely a drizzle.

Since this is a T.V show and while it might seem like "Reality" it is T.V and involved acting so I acted to the best of my ability Exaggerating things, props (you will notice mine ) and trying to have fun. Things are quite unfamiliar at first and I noticed I was more tight compared to the last 2 days where I was much more laid back and had more fun and acting more foolishly and just let my guard down. You all will decide if you enjoyed it

I am kind of anxious to watch it b/c again, I don't know what will be in it at all.
