I like how easy he made it look to put the e-fans in, in a different episode a while back they put the flairs on to cover up all the rust.

Its on Spike TV. They said they are shooting for that mileage, but we all know they will never get it... especially lifted on 35's.

Get a DVR like I did, now if I'm away I just set to record the show then I can watch it whenever, I can even save them to cd if I want.
