[DeTomaso] Gas Monkey Morons...

[Mike Drew]

All,

The preview of next week’s episode seems to indicate that it all goes wrong. I saw a glimpse of the car on the high banks trailing smoke from the right side, and consternation on the face of the crew. 

I find it hilarious that they (supposedly) paid $125k for this car, when there are numerous Panteras available in the Dallas area that would have been far more suitable for the job at hand, and cost perhaps a quarter of that amount. All they had to do is call the president of the local club. He has at least 3-4 candidates sitting in his shop. 

Those guys really are cretins.
