Default Re: First 2 firebirds in the news

All the more reason for not wanting to watch this show and others like it. I see these guys at several auctions a year and people always swoon over them wanting their picture taken with them. Please......... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img] It is truly sad when you have to make up material to sell a show. Inventing the drama is bad enough. Unfortunately there are just too many people that watch these shows and take is as gospel. If I hear another &quot;did you see what that one sold for at Barrett-Jackson&quot; comment one more time when I go look at some farmers car I will puke. It is shows like these that really pollute the hobby.

The show may not be a hit toward the hobbyist, but from a business aspect for me, my phone has rung off the hook for 3 weeks non stop and I even have another reality show wanting to do a similar show with something that is more exciting IMO than the firsbirds. I cant thank fast n loud enough for all of this.

Several years ago we were approached in passing about doing one of those reality shows here in the shop. Took me about 1.5 seconds to answer. NO! I have no desire to have that type of dog and pony show here and would rather earn my money the hard way. To each their own.

This is the first time I saw this thread. When I saw &quot;first two Firebirds&quot;, I got all excited thinking about the GM Design Studio and Motorama cars! THEY ARE the first two Firebirds!!! Saw them at the display at Pebble a couple years back---WAY COOL!!! OK These are still cool.
