      Agree. Really over diluted with the dodge stuff. Its cool for a couple of them but almost every build has them it seems. Sponsorship I'm sure helps and he's built relationships with mopar engine shops etc cause of the roadkill nights stuff but a little engine DEI is needed!!

    I see many people with excessive money spent in cars that have me wondering why on earth they would want a car like that. You have a an offroad Hellcat, a fast cinder block, a Ford Tank and now, amongst other things, a charger with a massive blower.... and they all make sense to me. Thank you for providing me with content of you excessively spending money on the vehicles that just make sense.

      Even the ones I do look at first and question why someone would want it a few hours later even I know why. The things I’d do to certain cars that no one could ever imagine doing mods to would be done. And not I wouldn’t expect them to look good but at least perform good in what I’m trying to use it as.
