so how does that work out, behind the scenes? Obviously if it is two bros, then no prob giving the car to each ther, but do they screw you guys at tax time by 1099'ing hte value of the car like the pimp my ride, home make over and overhaulin' people do?

Holy Shit what a race that was! ill agree that was the best episodes of pinks by far. Im surprised they put togother the contract ensuring the car would be put on ebay. 42,000 huh, id be looking for the cash if the camaro won, lol.
Great show tho guys. Thanks!

blackfang
08-30-2006, 10:14 PM
My question is what keeps him from giving his brother the money? The point was to keep him from handing the car back to him, but what about the money?

headsupkid01
08-30-2006, 10:15 PM
best pinks i've ever seen and a ls1 wins it.

all I got to say is wow! I've known who won for like a month now (St. Louis fbody forum fastlouis.com) and I still was on the edge of my seat for the last race. I'm just pissed that I went to the other day of filming and their wasnt any racing nearly as good as you guys.

BayAreaSS
08-31-2006, 12:22 AM
The was a good show! Both cars are cool but your SS is sick!!Good kill

No direct tv, we got cable. Hopefully someone recorded this or maybe it will be on google video.

UB2SLO
08-31-2006, 01:59 AM
That last race... :eek2: ouch..... that was close.

So, if the car doesn't sell on Ebay are you giving it back to your bro? That would be best, Let him fix that oil leak and then its :engarde: one more time.

And dont feel bad about missing 2nd on National TV, It would have happened to us all. :bang:

But hands down.... you won the race, the car, and all the shit talking rights. :hail:

Congrats.

08-31-2006, 02:14 AM
I just watched it. it was fuckin sweet. both of those cars are great. i love both of them. i knew that car would be here on LS1tech, how could it not be???? cars like that give amercian muscle a good name, especially the camaro and the LS1. i was so glad it wasnt like those other episodes ive seen. Good job to both of you. im curious as to what happened to the car as well.

Absolutely awesome! I like both cars but that Camaro is BADASS! I felt sorry for the losing brother, it looked like he was a little torn up about it.

Crossing the line at 8100, WOW!

I dont think those cars can even move forward without lifting the tires!

Rich should have serviced you both :devil: for making the show worth watching.

black_knight
08-31-2006, 09:09 AM
I felt sorry for the losing brother, it looked like he was a little torn up about it.

Same here. Let him know that we all feel for him. Not an easy thing to do like the song says and "walk away" from a car he obviously put a lot of work, love, and pride into.

Big thumbs up to both brothers!

Could not had said it better. I had a tear in my eye by the end. Actually, two. One for th lil brother that put all the heart into that beautiful first gen, and one of pride for the older brother that showed that new, EFI cars can really compete.

I salute you both!!!! :hail:

My dad and I watch the show every Wednesday night and we both loved last nights. Thanks for the great races man. You and your brother are both awesome.

Oh yeah I thought I recognized the car and when I saw your name on the screen I told my dad how nasty it was. Then he got to see it. Haha.

Sorry guys I'm here. I have been trying to get ready for the NvsS race this weekend. We are leaving in the morning. I 'm sorry if I didn't answer any questions as I'm going to bed now :jest: We have a long drive I need some rest I just watched the show 7 times and as you can prolly understand last night was a late night :jest: One question I will answer though is that the Firebird will go on ebay monday guys. And whoever buys it is getting one hell of a car :)


I'll see some of you at the race hopefully sat :)

redbandit98
08-31-2006, 11:02 PM

no dammit..we are buying it back for him..we have 72000 members..if only half of us would give 2 bucks..two damn dollars...we would be golden..



That would be a hell of an idea if the logistics were possible..


is there anything in the contract stating the car has to be sold with the motor and tranny?? if not it may be a loop hole!!!



Sweet Cars guys,

It's gonna happen. It'll be fun to watch them swarm over the last three minutes. If the Reserve had been $50K, it would have stalled @ $49.9K until the last three minutes. I'm sure you guys will build a fine replacement & the Brother's episode on Pinks was sweeeeet.

It's gonna happen. It'll be fun to watch them swarm over the last three minutes. If the Reserve had been $50K, it would have stalled @ $49.9K until the last three minutes. I'm sure you guys will build a fine replacement & the Brother's episode on Pinks was sweeeeet.


Guess not; I am surprized. He kept it by $100.00.

It sounds fishy to me..Thought I remember 2 or 3 people bid over the reserve & then retracted the bids..How can you put in a wrong bid amount when you are bidding on a big dollar item? I would make sure before my finger clicks the mouse that the amount is correct..Lame :eyes:Nice car though & probably worth every penny

Well even if he gives it back to his brother it was still the best episode that I have ever seen. There was no trash talking and no crybabies. I might watch it more if every episode was like this one.

C'mon, give that Poncho back to your bro. He looked soooo heartbroken and devastated at the end of that show (while still being a man about it), I had a :chug: for him (and I don't even drink!)!!

I think what it was is people bid up over the reserve price thinking it would go way over. After sitting at 42,100 for two days the winning party got scared, because, he/she didn't have 42k to spend.. :)

This is just like a Disney movie....it's got a very happy ending. That was by far my favorite episode of Pinks.
