    Anyone see this week's episode? 3 classic GM cars face off to see which should go back into prod. The Roadmaster won! But it was a shame what they did to those 3 classics....Filling with water - who came up with that?! :mad:

    the three hosts have no idea what the producers are gonna do with the cars... so i assume the picks are from the hearts of the hosts! and judging by Rutledges post on the SS forum.. he is just as passionate about these wagons as we are!

    After seeing the Roadmaster on its knees and belly dragging under all that weight, it was pretty impressive to see it drive away and keep going.

    That concept is a car I'd buy if it was to be made! Slick lines - very Jetson / Trek-ish.

    I'd still like them to throw away the cookie cutter, stamping out their versions of the UK scripts, but it looks like it's getting better
