Robs red car was a good looking ride . That green and blue beast with the ghetto cooling line was uhm hmm can you say car crusher . The race segment was an anti-climax for sure. Some tuning time and a few test runs would have made it more interesting. Who got to keep the cars?

Well we did do a couple 1st gear pulls in the parking lot but that was pretty much it. The show was worried that something might happen to the car/engine and the cars wouldn't be able to run down the track. Also the cars were auctioned off to the highest bidder on EBay. Not sure what they went for. I must say that Rob Greer knows his sh.t. I'm glad he was on our side. I don't know when the show airs again, I guess you'll have to keep tuning in.

Team Ghetto won with a 14.3 or 14.8 ? vs a 15.2 in the 1/4. Robs team had a mid 13 on their practise run though and team Ghetto needed a part from them to be able to make their "winning" run.

Hey Jerry, I was on team "Ghetto." Real original name btw.
Either way you look at it, the styling was ALL Jeremy Gore. He's from this board as well and by looking at his own car, you can see where the styling ISSUES come from. Did you not watch the show and see how badly we didn't want to paint the car that color?
The two people who impressed me the most were Tony Vaz and my lead mechanic Anthony.
Their car was gorgeous because of James (who is also a good friend of mine). He chose the color, cut their bumper, chose the drag wing, and most of the good asthetics.
Our car was good for low 13s EASILY, even untuned. We had a 200 shot of nitrous. Our cars ran absolutely amazing the first time we went to the track (got rained out). The next time out (month later or so), both cars were running like bags and our nitrous mysteriously stopped working.
I had fun anyway and I'm sure Rob and Tony would agree.

I MOST IMPRESSED YOU!?!.....dude I just helped out.
Tim you didn't work with ROB but if you did you would surely say the ROB GREER is the man. That guy knows his sh.t! He knew all the technical stuff. I mostly worked on the body and most of all the under carriage stuff. Rob mostly engine,ECU Kory (which I wasn't impressed with) work on stereo, interior Jim, worked on front bumper and intercooler
We never did find out what happened to our car after the final run. I personally think that some happened to the timing belt.
BTW the Cadillac's were on this morning.

Besides the chain link steering wheel, I liked the interior. OKAY, I would NEVER put it in my car, but I thought it was cool and original.
Our audio guy, Brick, said the funniest thing to us when we first got onto the show. "Hey guys, I don't know anything about cars. I just wanted to be on TV."
Jeremy wasn't the boss, he whined so much that the show had to let him do something. From what I hear, he was the first chosen to be on the show and was deemed the Talon expert by the auditioners and such. To be honest, Brick was more of a help and he knew nothing about anything on the car.
I hate to bad-mouth Jeremy but he has no taste in cars what-so-ever. He actually thought our paintjob would have looked good and told us all we were blind and the two colors will work great together. Uhhhh, sure.

OK I got a idea for those who missed the show.
I could bring my copy of the show to the next Mississauga meet and someone could set up a couple laptops (so that the show could be played on to screens at the same time)and watch the show there. Also if someone who is able of burning DVDs that would a good time to do it.
Whats ya think?
ROB,TIM,JEREMERY,JIM it would be cool if you guys were there also.

haha I have to jump in here since your busting my balls here Tim.....The interior NOT my idea, to be honest I worked with what i had....The stereo installer??? I did all the wiring on that car...Bricks an awsome guy but basicly was anthonys bitch..the paint job it was insain looked like crap when done to ninja turtleish...would never do it again, the team was right.The colours were chosen by all of us "NOT JUST ME"...i shoulda just poured the blue and the green into one can and sprayed it like that....Both cars would have looked identical! the only difference in the 2 cars is the colour and Ours had nitrous, thats where the differences ended....i enjoyed the show...you wanna rag on me because my Show quality tasts were not upto the street racing scene thats fine with me. my 1G dsm runs low 12's,won more car shows then any other 1g in the country, been on 2 tv shows and in 2 magazines...so all in all im very proud of what I have done and wouldn't change a thing... tim and rob and all the other guys to be honest yous should have won...yous guys all clicked and had a great team. I didn't get along with anthony because Iv been workin on these cars for 8 years and know how they work and how not to destroy them and he is gonna tell me how to work on them i don't think so. these arn't mustangs or integras where they can be beat on... im sorry but when your lead mechanics whole goal in the show is to blow up the car and make everyone look dumb and never finish one job he started then ya....Awsome leader lol... anyways I had fun working with all of yous and maybe I will paint one of our military tanks blue and green just as a dedication to all you haters..lmao.... we won Tim, time to get over it, its been a year ..

Jer, stop typing and go back to elementary school so you can learn how to put a sentence together. I can't stand to see your garbage any longer.
