I got a real kick out of that show. They got more free stuff than ever before. Lots of ( not so subtle marketing )

It was like watching a boob job in progress. The end results are fantastic, but just so painful to watch!!!

I enjoyed the show... sort of like watching ****... no redeeming value, but you watch it anyway. So, I actually think at the end of the show that it was a stupid waste of money and effort. They took a perfectly good car, and they suceeded into dumping a fortune of money into it to turn it in to a perfect piece of crap. The snowmobile results where they are racing Richard Petty was perfectly laughable. The had to undercrank the filming to make it appear to be moving fast. I am completely certain on the road with packed snow the mini was faster without the track or skis.... Pathetic. Why bother. They talk about 3000$ budget which of course was a joke, since they got about $6000 worth of engines, not to mention an almost $20000 car... Then there prize a bunch of tools... give me a break. Just like a **** film probably won't watch it again. Sad

You can see the Monster Machines show on Saturdays at 7:00pm Eastern- 6:00pm Central! I like the idea of taping it so I'm going to set up the VCR for Saturday!
