RODS N’ WHEELS

Well it has been a nice upswing for automotive related tv show the last years, Fast n Loud, Cafe Racer, Graveyard Carz, Counting Cars and Overhaulin is back. This is the newest one in the line. PLEASE be good and spare us the fake arguments.

“RODS N’ WHEELS is an all new Discovery series starring the hot rod king of Southern California. Billy Derian and Steve Reck have been friends for years with the same dream — working in a garage that fixes up and restores vintage cars and hot rods. Now their dream has become a reality with Da Rod Shop, located in the heart of Southern California’s car culture with bad ass cars and their owners.

RODS N’ WHEELS premieres at 10 PM E/P on Monday, February 3.

Accident At The ’14 Grand National Roadster Show

This doesn’t look fun at all.

“Folks, please, always make sure that your throttle is free and doesn’t stick. Not that we wanted this to be the first post for the 2014 Grand National Roadster Show, but one of the contenders was approaching the viewing area to be judged when his throttle stuck, running over GNRS judging chairman Vic Cunnyngham, resulting in serious, though not life-threatening injuries. And the roadster is in bad shape. ALWAYS make sure that your linkage is free of hangups and interruptions or this can happen to you.
Update 5:48 PM: Vic has had X-rays and has no broken bones, and is breathing fine, according to GNRS promoter John Buck. He was airlifted out of the Fairplex as a precaution. It goes without saying we wish Vic well.
