I watched it last night.  I don't know if it's me or what, but most of those shows are starting to get weak.  Some interesting spots like the dropping of the axle, but there could have been more substance.

And I just can't handle ball caps that cover your ears and have turned up bills.  I guess I'm turning into an "old codger".

I have to agree, weak in the build part. It’s what I’ve come to expect, they just don’t get it. When I saw it was only a ½ hr I knew it would be lacking. It wasn’t the kid or his family and friends , it’s the film makers that need a kick in the ass!!

got me thinking, instead of WATCHING we all should be DOING, in our own garages.
