    As I'm rewatching these episodes binge-style for around the 4th time, I've become amazed at Freiburger's father-like patience for all the antics that happen as his cars' expense. The man is a rock!! On the flip side, it's equally amazing that as soon as Finnegan touches something on a Roadkill epi, the damn thing magically breaks or dies. Truly magic I tell ya.

      Don't worry you only need about a grand worth of tools to do what these guys do :) It's not a cheap hobby! But tools last a life time and you can start off with more basic stuff and build your kit as you go. And if you get a job with no girlfriend or kids you actually will have plenty of money to work on cars! Really you would. Just learn from Freiburger, he lost that nicely orange painted duster for an engagement ring.

      +duhjuh its most likely proprietary to Motor Trend. Actually a lot of the music they play in the episodes sounds extremely familiar to music you would here in the mainstream just that they changed the notes to make it their own. TV shows have been known to do this as it brings back memories of familiarity of the subconscious. Sounds a bit far fetched I know but studies have been done.

    in the 80's me and my cousin drove a Duster 360, Man you talk about fun, we had to put in a clutch system.. the old one was shot. But back then, we did not have a alignment tool. so we did as good as we could. we ended up having all forward gears, but no reverse, But it was fast, we smoked the tires so many times, raced everyone who was willing. and it was TONS of FUN!!!!! And banging on headers, yup, I did that too, when installing headers in a 1978 Camaro!!!!

I've had OG Z-28's, Griffiths, Jag 3.8S Salons, HiPo 271 Mustangs, the list is long and eclectic, yet, that Valiant sneaks into my thoughts. C'mon, climb out of that box you're stuck in.
