Title: American Pickers
Post by: RSM on June 29, 2010, 09:08:16 PM
I don't know if anyone watches the show called American Pickers or not but I up until today recorded them to watch them at a later time. It was a cool show right up to the point where called the Ford Pinto..."junk". He had pulled a little trophy or whatever it was out of a place and the made the comment that the Pinto was junk....well that just steamed my butt!!! I take it rather personal. I love the Pinto. I have from the time my stepdad bought his first one. I cant remember how many i've owned over the years but it's probably upward of 7 or 8 anyways. And I own 2 of them right now. Needless to say I emailed the guy and told him what I thought of him and his show. :showback: And I promptly deleted him from my DVR list of shows I watch.

That show was brought up in another thread... possibly the  Pintos In Movies one. Yeah that guy talks out of his arse but he bought it anyway didn't he? I saw that award (or one much like it) on ebay awhile ago. Now I wish I bid on it! No mon, no fun. :(

I had the links to their website up here or so I thought. I e-mailed Mike Wolf (the skinny one) and wanted to buy the award but I got an actual response that it had been sold.
