Motor City Motors - another Deuce on TV

[Ironhorse]

I gave up on TV three years ago. Leaves more time for the internet.

With 2 kids in the house "one just 2 months old" I would kill for some time to park in front of the T.V. and turn off the bran, even if it is a dumb show. At lest It's not sponge bob!

 

[porkysplace]

they should stick to buiding bikes

I dunno APM215, spongebob gives this show some pretty stiff competition IMO.......

There was a show on a few years ago called Junk Yard Wars (on cable, may still be on) where they put two teams of 4 or 5 people against each other. They had to build their project in a specific period of time, with parts they got from a junk yard. The teams had to do all their own design and fabrication including cutting, welding, etc.

Not really a reality show in the context we see now, but real people designing and building a machine to acomplish the set goal in a short period of time. Very interesting show.

tow4 i LOVED junkyard wars, what a great show. Though from time to time they did come up with some stuff i have never seen in a junkyard it was still a great atmosphere for innovative designs. Some worked while others failed magnificently. Wish they would bring it back, though the whole deal with the losers vehicles was a bit hinky, the fake furnace and whatnot.

scooter01922,

Yeah, every now and then there would be something required that I wouldn't expect in a junk yard. I watched to see how the teams would solve problems. I like building things myself and being a mechanical designer by trade, it's always fun to see how designs are deveoped and executed. They had some pretty talented peope on and most of the designs were very inovative.

If you click on the link in the first post you can get a preview of what it's going to look like. The only problem is they keep referring to it as a 5 ton but it sure looks like a deuce to me.

Motor City Motors RIGHT NOW

They're turning a deuce into a corn combine. This is the first time I've ever had a vehicle that was featured on a TV show. Not sure how I feel about it, though.

Edit: It's on the Discovery channel.

Thanks for reminding me

 

[southdave]

It is corn picker not a combine

 

[JasonS]

I enjoy the engineering/ fabrication type shows but can do without all of the drama.

 

[Goose2448]

I am not sure but it looks to me it is a M36 Gasser.

I can't even stand to finish watching that stupid a$$ show. Dumbest crap I've seen in a long time. Good idea for a show just the wrong group of people.
Just my 3 cents.

and it is even a wintch truck.

 

[KsM715]

was a winch truck


Edit: wonder what happened to the winch? And please dont tell me they just happened to be riding around IN town and just happen onto an empty lot that just happens to be planted with corn.

Detroit douches destroy duece.

that show sucks, watched the first one, and it dawned on me I've seen it before. It was called monster garage.

That was about as believable as the corn they were eating actually came out of that thing. What a pile of junk.

At least they didn't really hurt the truck that bad. It's still pretty much intact.

I'll give them $100 for it.
