Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Roadkill entered once and to get the car to run they had to put a $600 MSD ignition box on it, the scrutineers called them on it their defence was "Yes its a $600 part but the moment we bolted it to the car it became effectively worthless"

I fucking hated Freiberger when he thinks he’s being clever like that. His knowledge of muscle cars is respectable, but he’s just a conceited asshole too often for me to follow.

Honestly I think he comes across as genuine. Yeah he can be a bit abrasive but I also cant stand tv presenters who are always so fucking nice and obviously fake.

Its why I always liked the way Jesse James hosted Monster Garage. He was (and is) arrogant AF, but also an experienced fabricator who was happy to call people out on fucking off for the camera too much and not putting work in.

Ive always thought "Personalities should have personalities" otherwise its just interchangable douchebags.
