Gas Monkey AD

[mxer666]

There has been a thread running about the 3100 these clowns built that that reportedly sold for $150k on the show.

Low and behold; An ad popped up this morning on FB: Win a Gas Monkey Icon!
sponsored by Havoline oil. Same truck.

Thought the $150k was a big stretch, where it was worth $50k.

MAYBE

[mongocanfly]

Yep..mobileortho already pointed that out a couple days ago...

[Jemezcrusher]

Went to the sweepstakes giving site. They are showing approximate retail value of 78K

[mxer666]

So, you mean to tell me that reality shows are not real?

Please don't tell me there is no Easter Bunny!

[nvrdone]

My Jessica

[1project2many]

Jessica Rabbit's not real? I'm heartbroken. The only thing left to believe in is conspiracy theories.

[mongocanfly]

I work with a guy that saw bigfoot...so maybe hes real..Im pretty sure i saw him in a beef jerky commercial but I don't know wether to believe it was really him..haha

[mxer666]

Don't mess with Bigfoot...........

[Jemezcrusher]

Bigfoot is more plausible than the prices these guys get for their builds

[T-P Auto]

They never did show how they set up the hood.just got another hood haha

I'm always confused by these shows. They do all these builds, some great some crap, which are supposedly sold or delivered or auctioned off - - but much later they are still in their shops? They're still there several seasons later - what's the deal?

[Bomp]

Not everything you see on t.v. is true. GMG proves this theory weekly.

[DPete]

Ya, those shows can get old, I like Iron Resurection best, not to much TV drama and those guys know what's up plus Joe's wife is cute

[Donaldo]

plus Joe's wife is cute


Absodarnedlutely !!

and she lets him build cars and trucks and doesn't complain about his tools !

[67GMCkid]

I can't get past more than 10 minutes max of Iron Resurrection ,,
Just to many Man's per sentence.

LOL that's true man

I get really sick of "badass." I make a game of counting how many "badass"-es are on Vegas Rat Rods (typically 10-12). Now Brian Bass has started saying it on Fast and Loud at least 3 times per episode.

[mr48chev]

Well some damned fool with deep pockets, a belly full of Barrett Jackson scotch and a want for 3 minutes of fame might bid 150K on that truck. I don't watch any of the rat rod relate shows and don't much care to watch the shows that always are centered around how much profit the can make off a rig and much drama they can create.
I did watch the Gasmonkey show (s) with Brian Bass on them as my wife and I knew his parents when we lived in Texas and knew him as a kid who was close to the age of our son at the time. That an Brian turns out some nice work in his shop.

About the only car show we watch all the time is *****en rides and that is because they emphasize quality work and never upon never mention cost or profit although you know the customer paid through the nose.

[dwcsr]

Please don't get me started on that AD build. I had to turn it off. What a mess they made of that cab.

Just FYI, If a hood fits when you take it off then going back on it will fit if you don't bugger up the cowl work. I don't think that crossed their minds.

any reality tv turns me off, it's not the subject matter, it's the presentation
3 minute intro, 3 minute commercial break, 2 minute rehash of the intro, 2 minute new stuff, 3 minute commercial break, 2 minute rehash of previous, 2 minute new stuff, repeat, repeat, repeat until everybody is bored to tears and watching something else
each 1 hour show has ten minutes of actual new stuff to ad to the show

reality tv should follow "this old house" format when they actually do and show stuff

[nail pounder]

We gave up television in my house 5 years ago. Of course I've heard of these shows but I've never seen an episode. Although I occasionally miss TV, I usually watch the Superbowl at someone's house or catch the Stanley Cup at a sports bar, but you guys just confirmed that giving up TV was a good decision. Sounds like even the shows I might be interested in are a waste of time also.

My favorite brother in law has been a professional paint & body man for about 25 years. He visited the monkey shop a while back and said their quality was not what they make it out to be on TV. He said that if I went to work there I would be their #1 guy and I am strictly weekend warrior.
