My brother sent me this- it's pretty funny. Or maybe I'm just gitty because the weekend starts in 90 minutes...

:thumbleft:

I remember that when it was aired. I laughed my ass off.

Why does he take his shirt off and proceed to walk like he's a male model? I had a good laugh for sure!

Not that it was funny, but it was in a way.

That's how it usually happens! Some bonehead showing off in a t-shirt at low speed.

Looking cool after the crash is extremely important.

I sure hope he's got some scars to show for it!

It's funny since he wasn't really hurt and because he's a douche-bag. Between him and all of the pissing and moaning are the reasons why I'm not a fan of the show. Just STFU and race, dammit! The Pinks All-Out isn't too bad but the regular Pinks sucks ass, IMO.

Dragging bare skin on asphalt at 20 mph will leave a mark! Yeah, that show sucks. Full of whining.

Everyone I've talked to that watches the show says the same thing. So I wonder why they do it that way. All the modding shows are like that too... Boyd, monster garage, OCC, etc. Foose's show is pretty good though for not focusing on b.s. shop arguments.

I guess I don't fit their demographic of people that aren't actually watching tv for the cars.

It wasn't his bike!



I laughed my ass off on that one, too.

I not of fan anymore of pinks. No matter what they do to try to make it better, its the same 'ol shite. The host is ghey

What is "PINKS"

Quote:

Show on the Speed channel. Best of 5 drag race where the winner takes the losers car. Pretty interesting if you can ignore the host.

To the op..



Couldn't resiat

Never heard of it. We dont have those sort of shows here, and i dont have a TV anyway.

I take it youve never been to a taping. All out is a gong show 90% of the time, and friends of the host and crew are always in the final runnings.

Regular pinks is good, everyone that says there is a lot of whining, well yeah. Imagine if it was your car on the line.

Life's rough, but it's rougher when you're a dumbass.

Side Note about Pinks...

A friend I've had since HS, and the only other guy besides "Ace" Allen (former Guinness Land Speed record holder in his class) and myself that go near my vettes with a wrench, is going to be on the new season of Pinks coming up on March 5th and 12th.

Look for a Black Monte Carlo with "West End Motors" all down the side of it. I won't spoil the results, but there's a large gallery of shots from the races on the website below. Just click the Pinks Update link.

First of all, I might be stupid but I'm not stupid enough to bet my car on a race. The hot rod shop I work for now has appeared before on "Pinks All Out" and will again. When they do, I'll be there if my schedule allows. But I doubt the experience will change my opinion of the egotistical f**k-stick who hosts the show, or the very concept. I despise "reality" TV in general as the lowest form of entertainment currently available on the boob-tube. I'll support the shop though, in this or any efforts, and we'll strive to do our best. But if I had my druthers, we'd race elsewhere in a more conventional outlet. I can certainly understand my boss' interest in this as a way to gain exposure though, and I have no problem with it from that point of view. I've only been there for a few weeks and so was not involved in their previous effort with a Pontiac powered, early Ford Econoline pick-up. It's a neat and fun little vehicle but would require some serious chassis work to be a serious and consistent drag car. This time we're going to be building a '64 Rambler with an LS Chevy power-plant. I'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into this project. I don't have to explain to anyone here what an awesome engine this is to work with. And I will do everything I can to insure that the chassis is up to the task. My boss is a sharp guy and we don't make any decisions w/o consulting each other. I've yet to find anything of consequence that we don't see eye to eye on.
