Title: Counting Cars
Post by: Rob52240 on August 15, 2012, 11:39:21 AM

Anyone else seen it?  I like it, then again I also like that cars that look like something a 6 year old would draw.

I'm not sure those blowers are making any boost at all.

Looks like their purpose is more to fit the all-chrome scheme, the teardrop profile is probabley also just for making it look good.  Given what the vehicle is and costs involved, I think the builder/designer was going purely for bells and whistles on that one.

I tried the show out and found I can only take the guy in small doses when he is on Pawn Stars to assess a vehicle.

The fact that guy got both engines working together like that is fairly impressive given his description.
