Though my expectations get failed, I just sigh and either wait for the improvement, the new fad to end, or just refocus on what was the better rendition. I don’t have enough energy in the day to get mad at people. Life is too short.

As it is, I don’t mind what they did with the Charger. (No, I didn’t say I like it… I just don’t mind.) Maybe they’ll come around.

My first impression of the Challenger when I saw it was : classic camaro shape. head slap.. head slap! Eh?

Yea, that’s that. Now I have to get back to the wonderful heat here and continue my session of heat stroke!

Nice, so were you pissed off with the new Charger? How they turned it into a 4-door sedan? LOL, I was like “WTF???” when I first saw it.

But their new Challenger is pretty sweet, saw one on the road one day, it’s pretty bad ass looking.

I get that. I’m a Dodge Charger fanatic. ’69 to ’72 specifically.

Yah, I’m sorry, I’m kind of a car nut, and coincidentally a Mustang fanatic, and seeing all of those completely useless body kit garbage strapped to a car that was much better STOCK makes me cringe. From that monstrosity sticking out of the hood, to the ridiculous wing, to the stupid front wheels, I have no clue what they were thinking…

And those actors are simply horrible at acting, and yes, I mean to tv standards.

Mayhaps I have mispoken.

When I said “different set of creators”, I’m talking about the writing staff and show runner.

Thompson and his people weren’t even associated with the recent “movie” before this new effort.

Just sayin’!

“Thanks for the link” Your welcome..

Um, those look like the same people from that movie pilot I was talking about, and that car looks even dumber than in the movie…

Interest level back to against…

Thanks for the link, I tried searching for it, and found pics like those and was convinced you must have saw something different so I just thought I was looking at the wrong things… But I guess that stupid looking car with all of those idiotic looking plastic looking crap hanging off of it is actually supposed to be KITT… No thanks…

OK, interest in the series is back from against to neutral. Any footage or information anywhere on the internet?

Ken,
The folks that made that movie aren’t doing the series. They have a completely different set of creators for the upcoming series.
If they hadn’t, I’d be in the same boat with you!

And what’s with the 500hp Mustang Cobra growing some useless ricer wing when it wants to go fast? Wouldn’t aerodynamics say that going wingless would be better for flat-out top speed and growing a wing for rear-wheel traction during braking and cornering?

Either way, that stupid ricer wing has no place on a 500+hp American beast.

Did anyone see that tv movie for Knight Rider that was supposed to be the pilot for the new reboot tv series? I saw it, and let me say, I am VERY not interested in seeing the show. The acting is beyond horrible. The female actress they got can’t act to save her life. And the guy is very “blah” and does not seem as “tough” as they are trying to portray him. The dialog is somehow cornier than the original except they don’t have the excuse of it being the 80′s this time, lol.

And the constant drone of nonstop music in the background is pretty annoying and reminiscent of those MTV movies that came out back in the day.

I’m getting the new Knight Rider GPS and then even my Ford Tempo will be as cool as K.I.T.T. I already have Mr. T from Navtones.com but the KR GPS will have me racing in NASCAR!

It was a b-e-a-utiful thing to see indeed Jimmy.

If you guys want to, feel free to come on over to my NASCAR blog and vent there in any way you’d like. I’d love some commentary and interaction on my posts. I’ve got a ton of viewers but no one really speaks up!

I’ll be covering this feud of course as I find things out and right now, no one knows what was said in the hauler, yet!

For instance, you’ll see a post pop up at around 11:45 am today with a little bit of my own take on the man-child’s feud with Edwards.

Thanks gang,

Looks like I should have checked into SR during the race! I’ve never laughed so hard as when Edwards spun Busch. That was great! Busch has had something like that coming for a long time. He’s a great driver but his attitude needs to be brought down a notch or two. I was bummed when Jr. blew the start and I still can’t believe he never made up that lap, but the end of the race totally made up for that. Carl Edwards just gained one new fan.

I would like to know what NASCAR had to say to Bush when they invited him in for a little chat. All I’ve found about that is in the link below.

the old man: I’ve never seen it as an intensity, it just one day snapped into an obsession … a kind of coping, or compensation mechanism.

OK, enough of that… you guys catching the all the noise from the Busch / Edwards thing? LOL.

I remember a song called “Peggy Sue” by Buddy Holly?

It was directed at Bruce’s comment. Sorry.. Having a passion for an activity can be as intense as a relationship, was all I was trying to say.
