Yea, I was planning on watching Sunday morning. Dennis Gage is pretty goofy, but the show is good.

That was cool. I saw it this morning. Dennis is pretty weird, but a cool cat. Jay never ceases to amaze me. Here is a guy that has more money than one could fathom, but is as down to earth as you and me, it seems. I always admire that this is a guy that truly never left his roots as a car guy, he just has all the money to pursue all his automotive childhood and later year dreams. The Cosmo was beautiful, he had all the cool old ad posters, and he knows cars. Talking about the piston engines coming of age, the sliding cylinder engine, and then the wankel.
I never fail to get royally pissed at Cribs or some other celebrity shows where they show the car, and have some phat ride that they have mutilated with big heavy chrome wheels, spinners, dvds, playstation, just to say I have a Lambo with all this. Or even some car shows, Tuner Transformation is one. There is some chic on there as a host now, that I caught the other day. Putting stuff on, talking like she thinks she knows, but hasn't a clue. And the Best!!!! They got all this stuff for a AWD Eclipse, go baseline it, then get it up in the air, and discover, oh it is only FWD. HAHA!!! You couldn't tell driving it, or looking at badges, or whatever??? Dumbass!!!!!

Jay is still the one guy that I would love to sit down with and talk cars. He is a walking encyclopedia of auto stuff. And works on his stuff, when time permits.

Cheers,
Travis

^^^ I want to see an original 10A motor IRL.
Wonder why he opted for a 12A? AFAIK 10A parts are still avaible in japan.

Really? I heard that all of the replacement 10A parts had dried up? It would make sense that they where still available in Japan though. I know that TRD still manufactures every part that they have ever made.
