Did anyone else see Monster Garage on Discovery Channel last night? What they did to that 1973 Vette should be illegal. They chopped it up to make a high powered mud hopping dune buggy. It made me sick to watch.

I feel your pain......
Everytime something got cut off, I cringed, and every time they threw something into the junk pile, all I could see was the dollar value of the part, that they couldn't care less about. Then the junk man gets a complete rear suspension, two seats, complete front suspension, exhaust system, 454 intake, and misc other stuff for the whopping sum of..... $800.00
What about the horses a*s gentley removing the shifter console plate with a
. And to me, the biggest crime of the whole show, was when Jesse lets everyone at home know that they were probably the first ones to turn a "one owner, pristine, 454 Corvette " into a mud bogger.
Now,on the other hand, I must also say, that I probably couldn't think of a cooler, or more fun vehicle to play in the mud with than a 600hp 4x4 C3. I'm just sorry I had to witness the crime to see the end result.

Steve and I both were totally shocked. Why couldn't they use a non-numbers matching junkyard type car? They didn't use most of it anyhow which made me sick also you guys. (If we had a little barf smilie, I'd use him here.)
