***WARNING***All Girls Garage***WARNING

[The Spaceman_imp]

All Girls Garage is a car and motorcycle show on the channel formerly known as "Speed," now brilliantly and unexpectedly renamed "Velocity.". There are three girl stars: Bogie; she's the MaryAnne of the group, has extensive automotive experience, and does a lot of the heavy lifting. Jessie is the rocker, with tats and blue dye in her hair. Christi Lee is the All-American blonde (from Florida) who rides motorcycles on the track.

So what's the problem? At no point during the 5 or 6 shows I've watched have "the girls" made out, removed any clothing, or handled any "power tools" that weren't actual power tools. In fact, the entire show is basically an infomercial for car and bike products and services. What a gyp.

You've been warned.

Is this the show you are talking about?

And we have to make do with that fat tosser 'Mike Brewer' and 'Wheeler Dealers'...

You don't know you're born Spacey.

We get Wheeler Dealers on the same channel as All Girls Garage. Aren't we blessed.

I'm sorry Spaceman, but I have to humbly disagree with this statement, Quote:Bogie; she's the MaryAnne of the group. As a young lad and an early admirer of Mary Ann, I'm afraid 'Bogie' is not in the same food group and would need a HEAVY makeover to even come close to that scrumptious beauty. You sir have insulted my sensibilities.

I've seen Jessi on various TV shows for many years. She even did a stint on the Mythbusters for part of a season. I think her background has been as a fabricator and welder. She also holds the woman's land speed record for a 4 wheel car at about 400mph. The show is pretty much just one long ad like a lot of those type shows, but I think both her and Bogie have some skills. Christi Lee does seem to be just a spokes model.

Fox bought and detroyed The SPEED channel, now it's FS1. They only have MotoGP coverage now.
Velocity has been around a while and is thankfully picking up some of the slack on the car and bike shows.
I still miss 2 wheeled Tuesdays from when Speed was Speed Vision, way back in the day.

Anyone seen "BikerLive" on Discover Channel? Three teams of builders given $15,000 and 5 weeks to build a bike from parts and/or from scratch. Viewers vote the winning team

So far mostly hardtails, springers, no front brakes, no mufflers, spring or metal seat (torture device), HD engines that may or may not run, 6 or 7 ft wheelbase, 2" ground clearance, 18" seat height.

Basically "unsafe at any speed". Yet strangely captivating.
