Anyone still remember Michelle Spaziano?

I liked Danica on that. Courtney was good on Overhaulin, but Danica was better on the powerblock.

He had it in the works before just before he left spike and went to ESPN. Then on to SPEED. Rumor has it cummins provided the motor and the tech but when He and spike parted ways planns got changed.

When Danica replaced Michelle, she looked like a tomboy. When they started painting her up and she looked very uncomfortable for a while there. Then Courtney replaced Danica and my eyes stopped stinging.

Recently (the last couple years) someone got a hold of Danica and really dolled her up. She is now the best-looking race car driver out there. That said, if you had four Danicas and I had one Courtney, I wouldn't trade unless you threw in your truck, a good duck dog and a case of beer. For keeps. unless Courtney finds her way back.

you could probably change the title "HP" to "Dyno". give it a rest guys, we get it; you have a dyno. other than xtreme 4x4, the entire block of shows should be called "we like edelbrock stuff tv"

I heard that one of the reasons that Stacy left is that he would not work on any New stuff because they crushed them after the show. He didn't want to put hours of work into something that went straight to the crusher.

I havent seen one of those shows in a very long time. I use to watch several automotive-based shows and, as already mentioned, it became hard to distinguish one infomercial from another.
Sure, some had better information than others, while others had better hosts than yet others.
But after a while, they all begin to look and feel the same.
The only automotive show I watch religiously is BBC's Top Gear and once in a while, I'll catch RFDTV's Machinery of the Past.

A long while back, we discussed the creation of DTR-TV. But we could never get past Lary hosting the show in a semi-see-through white tube top and hot-pink short-shorts.

I would have to check my DVR to be sure but early on saturday and sunday morning before 8am CST. Occassionly they run some older shows at 2am CST. If you have a DVR tell it to search SPEED channel for it.

It was Jessi. She is hot and can turn wrenches too. I think she has forgot more about mechanics than most of us know. She can weld and fab with the best of them. I think I heard a rumor that her and the host of Extreme 4x4 are married??????? She was a great addition to that show and wasn't just eye candy--she knew her stuff. You'd have a great show if you paired her up with Stacey--IMO.
