LOL... good one! :hurray:
Some of us at Speed read all the emails we get, and we appreciate all the comments on forums such as this. None of us are experts, and we fully realize that those who own the make, model and year of the car on the block are going to be more familiar with it than we are.
On mistakes: When an email corrects our info, we may just put it right on air, with our thanks. Often, we will read it during a commeercial break to let the announcer who misspoke handle it. Sometimes, as in the case of the PBR firewall stamps, we'll hold the email until we can point out that detail on a later car. Sorry we didnt get that one on.
On skipping cars: It doesnt happen intentionally. Ask the AMC guys... 5 AMX's in the sale, and I think one made it on the air. Those owners really think we're out to avoid them... we're not.
On repops, rebodies and repro tags: There is no way we can keep up with the cleverness of some restorers. Plus, there are substantial legal issues should we call out a car as fakey-doo on national TV. If we are offered evidence of fraud, we would take it to the auction company and let them deal with it.
We try to do a good job of describing, informing, and entertaining on more than 600 cars over 6 days. We make mistakes, we appreciate comments and corrections, and we make sure to call out various active, credible websites where folks can seek out better information.
Hope you enjoyed the show,
Mike Joy
