umodelnut Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think that guy who drives the Kenworth is cool. All them other guys are calling that sweet F model junk and stuff. What tards. That Robbie girl and the Jennifer girl are pretty hot though. Does anybody know what stage in the restoration the F model is in? 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27845-evel-knievel-resto/#findComment-159442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumperAndSon Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well if anybody was wondering, I also watched that episode of shipping wars last night too. And everbody involved with that show is a complete and total idiot. None of them have any idea of what they're doing and they get paid huge money to screw things up. And I can't stand how they dramatize everything. Plus did anybody else notice how much it cost for them to bring the wrecker out to load up the F model? Yea, $400. Think about that in real life. If you called that guy and asked him to load up that truck for you for $400 he would probably hang up the phone on you. And that's just one small detail that made me hate the show.But aside from the stupid show, I do think the truck is pretty neat and I'm interested to see the restoration.Ben 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27845-evel-knievel-resto/#findComment-159623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I watched also. The guy who hauled Evil's truck seems like the only one who has a clue. Am I the only one who wonders how they get away with too many hours behind the wheel, hauling huge loads with "pickup" trucks, etc. If I treated my customers like the hippie, I would probably need a full time dentist. Somebody needs to let the kid with the van know that MacDonalds is hiring. Makes my blood boil!

41chevy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Second time I ever watched it, if it wasn't for Evels Mack I would never suffered through it. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27845-evel-knievel-resto/#findComment-159657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
