    We turned our BMW E36 Rally Car into a Drift Car with overfenders, an angle kit, and the sickest Work wheels we could find. But can we drift all of Apple Valley Speedway in it?

      @@michaelshaw6242 i agree. it feels like we, the audience lost so much of the action. one of these mods alone could have been a whole episode alone. the new videos also feel so out of touch. it feels like they are showing us things as if we were a crowd watching from a distance compared to how the old moneypit episodes were when it felt like we were there following zach through every step. also i dont think time is the issue. they still did all the mods. all the recording. they just didnt go in depth.

    I love that the measure of success for a proper drift car is if it literally tears itself apart when you drive it.

    We need some drag racing builds. It's a big gap in Donut's repertoire. Let Uncle Jerry build a burly 'Merican V8 tire burner.

    I like when you can’t see the bikes on a wide body kit, it looks more slick and less like it was just slapped on ❤

    I really feel like Adam's showing more personality on screen in the past couple of months. It's cool to see him let loose on camera. Hail the Shop Daddy
