| Any else watching Bullrun? I have become addicted to the show now. It is fun watching the muscle car (Challenger, Olds) vs. import (Civic) vs. modern muscle (Trans Am) vs. exotic (Lotus) vs truck (wtf?!?!). Seems the hard part is getting your car to stay together.... I am not sure why for some of them it has been such an issue. I am impressed with team Chevy, they are troopers and Mex-i-cans (if you watch the show you'll get it). I know what it is like, my car was almost exactly the same when I drove it cross country to the national gathering. We had exhaust leaking into the car so we always had to have the windows cracked, no heat so in the rain we had to fight with it fogging up, etc.
I am voting for team Trans Am, though. I find it funny how with all the power the cars have the Trans Am has a TON of respect for how fast it is. The guys seem to want to see it run.
Overall I am really impressed with the show overall, Goldberg doesn't do a whole lot (as a host shouldn't) and I love watching them beat on their cars.

| Re: Any else watching Bullrun? I of course hope the F body wins. The Cholos in the 57 are hilarious, bumbling along and just doing well enough not to get booted. I hope they beat the Lotus people. |

| Re: Any else watching Bullrun? Sigh, the 57 got bumped! They were on the bubble the whole time finally it caught up to them. Loved watching the F150 get BLASTED to still lose by 2 seconds to the Lotus. |

All you really need is an interesting reliable car, a good driver, and someone who can read a map. |
