Yea, it's definitely not as good as the original one but I watch it anyways. I understand why they picked Tanner Foust, but I don't understand how they picked the other two guys.

My biggest gripe with the hosts are they are boring and bland. They lack personality. Tanner is the only one that seems to have some charisma. That episode was pretty good except for the fact that they thought a 180k aston martin was a good deal. Oh and being unable to do donuts as car show hosts is kinda discouraging.

Got the car back today. Mini-City did a stellar job. Few things here and there that only I will notice but she seems to be 95-98% back. Might get some money to throw into parts too

I don't mind the guy with the beard so much, but the third guy.. I swear I don't even think he's a car guy at all. I don't understand his purpose on the show at all.

Glad to hear the car is back, and even better that you got some $$ out of it

Yeah I'm super glad to have the car back. I feel like a new car owner again. O and the diminished value guy loved the acceleration. Don't think he was quite expecting it to be so quick.

lol yeah...i'm torn though. I'd love new wheels and either lowering springs or coils but at the same time it would be great to get a proper clutch and a downpipe plus some fuel mods. Its a toss between looks and performance. I haven't done diddly looks wise so I'm leaning towards the wheels but man its sooo tempting to keep increasing the raw powa!! lol.
