Mark Worman Wrong Again?

[Richard Cranium]

I get it, worman is a blowhard, but lets be reasonable here - no one is perfect and no one is 100% right all the time.

not to mention....did u see how much fuel he poured into that motor to start it....what a dope

I would have to agree. I take a pump oiler filled with gas and fill the float bowl(s) through the air vents. Also, an engine should be started with a closed choke on fast idle, that way a backfire does not become a conflagration which could have ruined that new Edelbrock carb. GYC will answer your emails, but don't try holding your breath. I imagine responding to all the inquiries after doing the research would be a FT job for at least one person.

I personally love the show but am one of the few on this site that wouldn't know if Mark was right or wrong. I was born in '83 so just learning how to start my damn car took practice. One thing I really like about the show is the fact that my wife likes it so it's something we can watch together that isn't some Real Housewifes bullcrap. She thinks Mark is funny, I do too especially his dumb remarks about Darren, Royal, and Josh. Really the only annoying thing I find about the show is Darren, especially when he pointed out wrong things on the collision Charger they did.

I've seen those housewives make mistake after mistake, no credibility there my man!

I agree. I don't tune in often, I mostly DVR it and watch only the episodes that catch my eye, but the wife likes it so it's nice to get her involved with the hobby and just the thought process behind it all.

"Three's Company...."

LOL

Iv'e never heard of RC making a mistake...

Again, I love the show....
If someone does not like it...simply turn to another show!

I like the cars, the jokes, HOLLY...(where is she?)...the cars, the jokes...Mark's attempt to throw a punch with "both hands down by his belly button"
(Anyone who has boxed clearly knows you do NOT drop your arms down low...)

It's a funny show with serious CARS...serious Mopar cars...PERIOD...

Now...can we get back to something real important please?.......

Where is Holly?

I've never had a 100% original 1968 Roadrunner, but did they have the color decal in the steering wheel?

I have a very original 68 Road Runner (since 1982) and no bird on the steering wheel. My car has the decor package and uses the regular Plymouth wheel with the full horn ring. It wasn't until 69 the RR got all the fluff with full color birds, etc.. And lest we forget that the 69 RR was the Motor Trend car of the year.

Oh, I just remembered that the only full color bird on the 68 RR is on the trunk finish panel.

If I ever get as much right as Mark does, I'll be happy to get as much wrong as he does. Much more knowledgeable than I'll ever be.
As far as the RR trim & such, my brother bought a 68 in 1970. My dad's comment was that it had all the cosmetics of a taxi cab. They were strippers, only built to go fast cheap.

Damn skippy you haven't.

 

[super-bee_ski]

You got that right....

The MODs FINALLY figured that one out too....

Gee..I thought I was slow...
"tee-hee-hee"

Hemi*Guy...It's always the same ol same ol from the "nay sayers" yet challenging them to start their own operation and do a better job and they clam up. Bruzilla has brought up some good info on this topic so I know he at least appreciates the Histrionics that MOPARS carry. And if Worman does make a mistake then we find the correct answer. It's the challenge in the Q&A. Some here that have been overly vocal as of late need to go back and read my earlier post on how I take this show. It just might open their eyes a little more and quit being so hyper critical about things that they really have absolutely no control over...cr8crshr/Tuck

 

[Speedbird]

I don't have cable, so I haven't seen the show.
But I love this MOPAR marketing minutiae and the straight bird poop.
Is there something wrong with me?

- - - Updated - - -

Did you mean to make that double entendre?
It's a good one, regardless.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I do think that the show has gotten better this season having more car content and less BS. However, I still would rather tape the show and FF through the BS & commercials rather than watch it live.

 

[super-bee_ski]

Tuck!
Well said...
It is a TV show....
Even Pawn Stars has "fake drama" to keep it entertaining...

Again, great cars on Grave Yard Carz...

My 68 RR RM23 HT Décor Package Interior I have now
had/came with a colored RR head centered in the horn button,
{Most had just the Plymouth Emblem like the Dodge steering wheels had, in the advert below}
& mine also has an OE Key chain leather pad & plastic colored RR head in the center
all the rest of the RR decals are Black & White versions,
including the rear trim panel
the 1968 Horn housing color is black the first year too...

I'm not 100% sure, but mine is a latter production HT,
so maybe things were different, than the OE Post Coups 1st came out...

IIRC all my 68's had B&W decals everywhere
other than the horn & in advertisements/promos,
color versions & B&W were both used in 1968 as early as 1967 Adverts...

Whom ever it was that said that the rights, it was purchased from Warner Bros. in 1967
is 100% correct !!
So there was no limitations on color or not in 1968, it was by choice & design,
Accountants/penny pinchers & designers decisions,
I'm sure, probably to save a little money...

Enjoy the photos

The show is allot more tolerable now, far better than season 1 & 2,
I don't have to FFWRD thru anywhere near as much now...LOL

I won't ever go as far as saying I actually LOVE GYC's show thou,
too much other stuff, I don't like {just my f---ing opinion} & it's just a freaken' TV show...

Everyone has their likes & dislikes, critiques etc., we don't have to all agree...

I think Mark knows allot, he's not the be all end all, I don't worship him,
no doubt he probably more than I do, doesn't mean I have to star my own program either...
BUT I also don't devote or spend my every waken moments,
acting like he's a self proclaimed "know it all",
worried about some lame damn part #,
or needlessly chastising someone else who's wrong,
about said part #'s, for some specific car & IMHFO,
when most all of that information, is easy enough to find...

It's not like he's curing cancer, it's a damn reality show...LOL

Probably, If it wasn't for the cool MOPAR's I'd say most people wouldn't even watch it...
I watch all the car shows, anyway MOPAR's or NOT...

"Only a handful of people in the world can do that"

So Mark is correct in some aspects & is wrong on others...

Hey.. nobody's perfect. As Mopar fans we should support a venue that gives others insight to our world, and hopefully expand the interest in our cars. In that light, I made my sig... changed it, cause I can't dance !
