Fear Factor

I was at the junkyard last week and saw 3 Fear Factor camaros tho i think thats the name of the TV show. They were painted bright yellow and had roll cages in them but the interior was compleatly gutted i opend the hood and each one had a 2.8 motor in it. Last night i saw a commercial for the show and it showed one of the camaros i saw at the junk yard driving out of the back of a truck.

You should buy em and sell them on Ebay. There are plenty of goofy people with money for junk like that. Call it TV art.

Assuming you have never visited our SoCal wrecking yards that FAST RS & I do, you'd be very surprised what one does find in OUR SOCAL local wrecking yards.
That episode of Fear Factor was kinda lame with the car plowing out of the back of a tractor trailer.
Hell, Michael Knight & KITT did that stunt kajillions of times & much better at the eye candy money shot, too.
Why Fear Factor didn't use a Yugo or a stupid Lowrider car, is the main argurment here!
