| I still quote #3-#5 elsewhere online on the rare occasions I see people discussing the film, "Teeth"... |

| The Samurai was an early Season 2 episode. It was wayyyy worse than Brewer first realized, and they couldn't even get it to pass an MOT, meaning it could only be used on private property/private trails. They lost money on it. |

Oh God, that's potentially the worst one they ever did, in terms of how they "upgraded"/modified it.
Been rewatching a lot of WD episodes lately, actually. Though, only the Edd era.
Some of the episodes, that dealt with a relatively rare car, or the one that Mike "finds" has a very unique problem to tackle, or is in a very interesting selling situation, I get the impression that some of those episodes, they began knowing ahead of time exactly which car they were going to buy... and then "frame" the episode around that, and have him do a "dog and pony show" of looking for that kind of car.
Though, admittedly, the Bentley Mulsanne Turbo episode really did feel "off the cuff"... I think he genuinely was looking for a Rolls, and that Bentley falling into his lap as an option was too good to pass up.
It's also been confirmed that the Suzuki Samurai was, by far, the worst vehicle they ever tried to fix up, and they paid the price, literally. Brewer noted the filming for that season was coming to a close, and they had run out of ideas. The Samurai was a last-minute scramble episode, and the truck was just an unmitigated hunk of junk. |

| ...with how cars have gone, especially with battery packs, my weight argument doesn't seem to matter as much anymore. Cars are now just goddamn beasts. |

| Would this have been about the time that Chrysler bits began finding their way into Maseratis? |

| Crazy to think that nowadays even many relatively entry-level compacts and subcompacts can be optioned with full leather interiors. |

"Badass"? Oh, you poor, deluded child.
Their piss-poor reputation aside, I grew to greatly despise the Hennessey Viper front-ends... they're just not as cohesive, clean and tidy in appearance as OEM. |
