Default Horsepower TV

anyone watch it? its on spike on sunday mornings. for you who dont know, its a show where they get cars and show how to build them on a budget...along with covering drag competitions and sometimes testing new domestic cars. they deal with domestics (their last car was a 98 SS), but the reason i ask is because of their new project. they were talking about muscle cars, then segued into a brief history of racing. started at the salt flats after WWII, people started hopping up 50's cars, then 60 and 70 muscle cars...and then they went on to say 'well now theres the new generation, doing the exact same thing their fathers and grandfathers were doing...just the names have changed a bit' and then continued to show an import show. then they showed people working on civics and mitus, and drag runs of 9 second civic hatches and stuff like that. then they interviewed a guy who builds cars (his current is a Nissan Altima) and said 'we need to pick up a new project, and we want to do what kids are doing and build a small-engine import car'. dude says sure, takes 'em out to pick up a car.

so now Horsepower TV..domestic advocate #1...is building a EG low-model coupe. im pumped .
