For Dad
This blog post is for my dad. There is a new Original on Netflix called Fastest Car that I really think that you would enjoy. It is kind of like the show that you watch on the Discovery Channel, Street Outlaws. The show follows three competitors as they tune up “sleeper cars” and race supercars. All of the cars are old, beat up, junckers that just blow the supercars out of the water. The show goes in the lives of the drivers the week of the race and shows their preparation. During that time, they give the background story of all of the drivers and how they became grease heads. In the first episode they race a 2006 Ford GT, an old ford pickup, a really old ford pick up, and a 2011 Odyssey minivan. It will surprise you with who wins and I do not want to spoil the show for you.
All of the sleeper cars are fully hand made with leftover parts and all of the supercars are stock. All of the drivers are always confident in their own car until they see the supercar roll up, then they start second guessing a little bit. I cannot emphasize enough how much you would enjoy this show. You love cars and you love different cars that go fast. You and Uncle Tommy would watch one episode of this show and finish the series in the same day because you could both relate to it in a very similar way in that you both have a love for the automotive trade. Both of you are huge grease monkeys and would be inspired to do this with your own sleeper car. I am sure that Stew would want in on it too, which would mean that the Buick would be in contention as the car. With using the Buick, I would definitely be able to drive it in the end of the project because as all of you know, I am the superior driver.
