I've been watching Roadkill for years. Freiburger and Finnegan are the bomb. Or
rather whatever they've been "working" on looks like its been bombed when
they're done, like normal people rather than TV show.
Theres also a magazine which is mildly entertaining...

You could put those twennyates yo on your dizzel wagon yo and go driving
around DC later in the evening yo, see what ladies come running.
On a similar aspect, last night on the flix I was watching some show
called "Roadkill" which is mildly entertaining. They were doing some
sort of comparison to a Lambo Aventador and a seriously
chopped/channeled rat rod that was pretty much a rolling POS but sorta
interesting. They observed that the guys were drawn to the Lambo, while
the ladies were drawn to the rat rod. I have no idea if they accurately
reported this statistical survey, but it was kinda interesting.
