    I will watch with interest.

    If it's any good at all, I'll try to grab it for archival.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    After having watched that episode I have come to two possible conclusions:

    1) The show lines up buyers before they purchase a car and then ensure the car is fixed up to meet the buyer's wishes
    2) People in California like ugly wheels, imo, on VR4's

    Otherwise I just can't fathom how a 'market', aka the majority of potential buyers, would want the stock wheels on a 2nd gen car. I can understand a small portion of people liking them but not the majority.

    Agreed, but while I really got a kick out of seeing the Villains, prospective buyers always seem to want to think they should be the ones deciding which mods to go with when departing from stock.

    My car was untouched, except for non-ECS shocks - I arrived to pick it up with a new PFIK in hand, and I was the one who pulled the restrictor, etc.

    I have the fans in my basement.

    Anyway, it was just nice to see someone blowing air up the platform's skirt, yes?

    They fixed all the doodads and sold it to a chick...good TV.

    He sure made a funny face when talking about the wheels he spent $1000 on... without tires!
