any one see monster garage tonight (delorean)

[Vendor Defendor]

is it just me? or did jesse seem kinda like an ass? at first he seemed to put no effort into the project, then when the guys cut the roof off and attached it to the orgional hover craft (which i think was wrong, it was taking the easy way out.) he went crazy on them, it seemed he was being to hard on them considering he didnt tell them really what to do or help them do it... and it seems like he wasnt being much of a leader and more of just an ass... or am i wrong here.

maybe i am seeing this situation wrong? but i think i lost some respect for the man..

I was about to post. Just turned it on a few minutes ago.
If you hate Delorean's, you'd love this show.

Death count: 2

So do they always have a backup car to destroy? I know they're slow cars, but they're still cool, unique and in limited numbers. Back to the Future took out a lot too, I'm sure. Wasn't it a group of Delorean owners that did the monster GT40 4WD project a month or so ago? Did they piss off the producer or something?

 

[Vendor Defendor]

one of the guys is on this build was on that GT 40 4WD project... so maybe some one at discovery likes them, because they have been on moster garage twice, now and a couple months ago, and about 2 weeks ago, there was a delorean on monster house...

DeLoreans are too cool and rare to cut up IMO. I'm glad I didn't see it. Sure they're slow, but they weren't meant to be race cars.

DEFINITELY NOT A "LEADER"

Agree on all counts!

(Basically, a hostile egocentric passive-aggressive loner comes to the forefront more & more in recent episodes).

Jesse was definitely being an ass, he was to hard on the crew
and I really felt bad for the guy that stood up to him and got
fired. I too have lost some respect for Jesse after seeing that.

One of the reasons I like the guy....calling like he sees it, no BS!

I just watched a repeat of those friggen meatheads destroying a very, very nice '71 El Camino SS big block by turning it into a figure 8 racer. They laughed at how they would piss off Elk owners nationwide while destroying it.
Pinheads is all I can say. No I don't own one either, but I felt for the original owner they brought into the shop to see their 'creation'
Pinheads

My friend had a Delorean. What a POS! Unique but junk. I have stopped watching that show. I am tired of his tyranincal persona. He's not perfect and just got lucky making choppers. That market now is full of rich yuppies that are trying to be cool and look "dangerous". He's just reaping the benifits of that. Some of the guys he has doing the real work on the show are ten times better than him and much better pesonalites.

I couldnt have said it better myself.. I wasnt too happy when they cut up the vette for a mud racer but I turned the tv off and swore off the show when they cut up the numbers matching BB el camino. Im not into elcos but it was still too nice/rare of a car to get hacked up just for the hell of it.

Ive had a couple of friends suggest I try to get on the show due to some of the crazy or off the wall stuff I come up with but I doubt the producers would air a show where one of the participants went to jesse's ass after he barked one too many orders in his typical punk-ish manner. IMO he should then change his tattoo he flaunts to "I shoulda shut up" rather than pay up sucker..

 

[Night Train]

I can't believe you are talking about these characters on TELEVISION like it is real life. I do however agree about the crime of cutting up limited production vehicles in the name of entertainment.

Dumbest automotive show on TV. I'd rather watch grass grow.

I dunno.. "suuup-ah tuuun-ah tee vee" (super tuner tv/import show) would rank right up there with it IMO along with two guys garage. Any show that the "hosts" (and I use that word loosely) dialog includes "kickin, phat, dog, or chillin" is not my style. Two guys garage is less "ghetto" but as interesting as watching paint dry.

Oh, I almost forgot.. The handle bar mustache guy on my classic car MUST have been beaten with a nerd stick.... more than once.

Somebody please PLEASE make me a nerd like Dennis Gage! Not only does he get to travel around signing autographs and making appearances at car shows, but the guy is filthy rich. He invented the Pringles chips (that's his charecature on the tube) and one of those geriatric drinks (Ensure?). He's a heck of a smart guy.

I agree, Monster Garage is not a show for car enthusiasts, it's a BS "cooler" take off on Junkyard Wars. The funny thing is that they get 5 days and the things rarely work well. On Junkyard, regular (but smart) people get the job done in a day. Monster Garage had 2 Deloreans and a HOVER CRAFT and STILL couldn't get their hovercraft to work.

No kidding?? He invented pringles (I love em)?? If thats the case then where do I get in line to get a few lumps with that nerd stick myself?!!

Dennis gage invented pringels???????


Not unless he worked for Proctor and Gamble, or General Mills.

In the early 1960s two companies, the Proctor and Gamble company of Cincinnati, OH,(Pringles) and General Mills of Minneapolis, MN (Chipos) decided to take the technology for producing soap and apply it to potato chips, or something like them. Create a slurry, press it, bake it, wrap it and market it; the processes are remarkably similar for bars of soap and Pringles, the name Proctor and Gamble chose for the new product. The snack food industry was appalled and frightened by this threat to market a standard product nationally, although the large national manufacturers had been doing that for many years, and they fought the name of the product vigorously through court actions and lobbying. Their goal was to deny these companies use of the words "potato chip." They eventually failed and the official name for this product is "potato chips made from dried potatoes" with the "made from dried potatoes" in type at least one-half the size of the largest type in "potato chips." This summer, while consuming a canister, I noticed that Pringles are now called "potato crisps." A Lexis/Nexis search produced no legal prodding from anyone to change the name and I have yet to send a letter to the Proctor and Gamble Company to find out why. It appears that General Mills no longer makes Chipos.

I could swear I read that on the My Classic Car website a while back, when they were still with TNN, but I don't see any bio info on there now. Maybe it was something I read at Cruisin the Coast last year. He comes down for that and MC's a lot. My understanding is that he was a chemist, I guess for Proctor & Gamble. I doubt many people sit at home and try to come up with a better potato chip, and P & G's got to have someone coming up with the ideas. I could swear I read he was also behind that Ensure drink too.

from a web search...


Gage grew up on a small family farm in northwestern Illinois. It was there he started tinkering with cars early on and purchased his first, a ‘59 T-Bird, at age 15. After earning a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and physics from North Central College, he graduated from the University of Idaho with a Ph.D. in chemistry. After graduation, Gage accepted a position as a product development scientist at The Procter & Gamble Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. There he either worked on, or created most of P&G’s food products in the 1980’s, including Pringles, with which he bears a striking resemblance to the handlebar mustachioed character on the can.

 

[Loosenut]

I guess he did work for Proctor and Gamble.
