cool, Set it up to record
You sold it too cheap! Awesome garage/collection, Pat. Your wife looked great on TV....you, well..
LOL.....give me a call on your next trip up here. 806-341-2036 c
You should have told that young "chevy" kid to get lost. Nice collection by the way and although I am not a huge 56 fan that 56 you sold was pretty sweet.
Nice job! Nice shop! Nice collection!
Watched it out in the garage.It was like a picture in a picture........Nice shop and iron within!!
Thanks for watching. It was fun to do. They had filmed a bunch of footage, but they have to make everything happen so fast for the modern day television watchers short attention span.
We are really happy with the results, as we really had no idea how it would come out. I did argue with the cheby guy a bunch and had some pretty funny slams to him that they did not show.
They are using the red/white convertible on some of the commercials as well.
They are running re-runs all week on CNBC in the episode "overdrive", if anyone missed it.
Crap, just realized that sounded awful...let me try again, lol...
Just watched the show and it was pretty cool, had never heard of it before.
The previous comments about the show attempting to make Pat look mousy and whipped, and make Krista look like a bossy battle axe should have been considered more carefully. That is not how I saw it at all, but how it could have appeared to someone who does not know either of them. I watched it with my family, and more than one of them saw how the show tried to skew it to make Pat look the quiet little guy taking orders from his wife that wears the pants in the family. My wife even asked why TV shows have to do that. I have known Pat for a number of years now, and though I don't see him on even a semi-regular basis, I feel like I know him well enough to know that he would not take abuse from a scrub teenager like that, nor would his wife "run the show", so to speak. I believe the show would have been more entertaining to let Pat throw a couple barbs at the kid, enough to shut him up and let him know that a scrub is not the only game in town.
Hopefully, I have not made a comment that for a second would cause anyone to think I have anything less than the utmost respect for Pat and his wife. If I have done that, it was in no way intended, and I only saw how it sounded after Rich commented on my post and I went back to look. Pat, if I offended you, I apologize, sincerely, I am sorry. It was not intended to be a knock on you or your family at all, just an expression of my disappointment of the media portrayal of a couple.
I will go ahead and shut up, my foot firmly inserted in my mouth.
YOU SOLD MY 56??????????
...... ha ha ha
That was your's, Jeff?...no wonder he sold it so cheap.
LOL....James....didn't think Pat looked mousy, or Krista a battle axe.....I thought, that's smart, it's harder to say no to a good looking woman than it is to another man. As far as the scrub punk goes, if that were me, he would have been waiting out in their truck for the deal to finish up. Rude little ****. It was still a good presentation though.
I didn't say I thought he looked that way, just the producers tried to portray him that way. They always try to make the man look like a moron and the woman look like she wears the pants, a line which was even used in this show. Watch it again, and notice when the mouthy scrub boy smarts off to Pat about something, they only show Pat with a blank expression, both times, rather than the instant rebuttal I know Pat would have given. Like Pat said, they argued constantly but it was cut out of the final program. When he mentioned he wanted his wife present for discussion of dollars, the kid says, "we see who wears the pants here". I know Pat better than to think that, there is just a mutual respect he and his wife share, and each would have said the same thing, "the other has to be there". Partnership. Like I said, I enjoyed the show, but they should have left more of Pat's remarks in place instead of on the cutting room floor. Again, I want to reiterate, it was the production team's attempt to make it appear that way. Pat's wife is not the battle axe type, I have only met her once, but she is a very sweet natured lady. Look at other popular shows on TV and see what I mean about how they portray couples. It's always the dad is a bumbling idiot, mom is a nagging harpy, and the kids, if there are any, are the only ones with any signs of intelligence. Hence the reason I don't watch a great deal of TV.
And I agree, I would have probably popped scrub-boy's jaws for him.
Krista and I often do these car deals together. She is way more involved and educated about cars then the majority of guys you would meet at any car shows. She drives all the cars and even has her own CJ mach and '69 Bronco.
We work together as a team against the host and his young side-kick on the car deal. She comes off as strong woman and part of the decision maker in the money deal. It doesn't mean that she's the "Boss", just she knows her stuff that we are a combo and I valued her opinion on the money part. She has done some really tough negotiations that have worked in our favor to enable us to purchase some of the cars we wanted.
Everyone can interpret the situation a little different, just like any email, text, or message can be perceived in a variety of ways.
Normally people are impressed with how knowledgable she is with cars and we make a great car collecting combo together. I think that is the way most who saw the episode interpreted it, even though it was sort of exagerated for TV.
There always seems to be a guy like the "Matt" character at every event and we just tolerate them.....
The show was meant to entertain, not necessarially to be analyzed.
I agree..Pat, i am sorry about all that..it's like the more I tried to explain what I said, the worse it got, or at least the worse it looked. Wish I could go back a few hours, but I can't, just have to deal with the mess I made of it. It is entertainment, and I should have let it go.
Krista Kicks BUTT!
I watched it last night, that was cool. You guys did a great job, enjoyed seeing your cars. I wonder if some of that is staged, like his dad buying the trans am :director:
It was a great show Pat. I thought Krista came across very well. Tell her I have a '69 BOSS she would like. See below.
