Sucks that the suits have control of those shows... wish they would just let you guys do (build) what you want.

Re: For your viewing pleasure

when i first saw the avatar and the name i was like, "could it be? nah, probably a big fan of the guy, why would a celeb stop by here? his profile here doesn't match his myspace profile ".

gotta say, all i've seen is repeats on the tivo lately, so i wasn't aware that lou'd (you'd? ) left.

either way - one of the best personalities on the powerblock, and probably one of the only people on powerblock i'd ever wanted to go out and grab a beer with - well, ok, Jared seems like a pretty freakin cool guy (saw him in a cameo on "Rides" recently), and so Jess from E-4x4 seems pretty cool as well (every car guy's dream woman?). they just don't come off as not as fcking nuts like lou santiago the rest of the PBTV cast seem pretty hohum...

Re: For your viewing pleasure

Sorry to hear that you won't be on PBTV anymore, but as mentioned before, it seemed like the suit's were controlling to much of the show, and not letting you give the viewer's what they wanted to see.

We're more than happy to have you on the board! Can't wait to see what you have planned for this build...

Re: For your viewing pleasure

Ive never heard of his show or the other one mentioned. Were these on Speed channel? Ive pretty much given up on Speed. Every time I turn it on it seems like I hit some superbike show or Pinks (which I cant stand).

Please give me a heads up so I can check it out.

Hey Lou!
What happened to garageinsider? Can't get it to load up, "http 404 not found" You done with it?
Need you back on Musclecar, just ain't the same. Or better yet get your own show. Some network needs to pick you up and give us some real msuclecar how to's.

Re: For your viewing pleasure

I have to take the weekend off I'm going to the Autorama in Sacamento. Hangin out on the west coast.

I'm a big fan of the static drop don't get me wrong bags are cool but static is more fun to build. There is so much more to look at. from a building point of view.

Hey Tony call me I know you will check this thread. Later

... Lou.... Simple minds like static.... its because their brain isnt large anough to wrap it around the idea of using airsprings, and those of us that know you personally completely understand the fact that you are truely warped... Your like a Black Sabbath cassette that someone left on the dash of their Trans Am with the T tops off........

you know I love you brother...... I try to call man, also you can try to ring me when you get off he plane after you get rid of your barf bag and clean yourself up. I know how you Navy guys are when you get in air planes!

Static drops are my preferred method also although alot of my static drops(ahem ,slams!!) I do have just as much work done as a bagged truck at times. I dont mind the adjustability of the bagged rides at all and think thats very useful....its just having a static drop of 5-7 or more rocks. Its not a Chevy but heres my over 5" frt and over 8" rear static drop on my 2002 Ram tucking 305/40/22.

Re: For your viewing pleasure

Hey Lou, wish you where still hosting Muscle car that show was the best part of the powerblock. the block won't be the same. ya brought some attitude to it. I really wanted to see the LeMans & Challenger finished, dont get me wrong I'm a Chevy man but those where some good builds. I even liked the Mustang and I'd rather push my Chevy than drive a ford! Have a great time in Sac. looking forward to seeing more on this build. The West Coast welcomes you to the forum.

Re: For your viewing pleasure

yeah man that sucks i had a feeling thats why all we were seeing were reruns. seem slike somehting was up. im gonna miss ya on that show it was awesome i learned more from you hosting that show than i had n very many other shows at all. the mustang build was awesome i have one built similar to that, it serves as the same purpose so it was awesome seeing that build.and 4 othe rmustangs as well.

bummer to know about jessie too im not into offroad and 4x4 but she made me interested haha she was the only reason i stuck around to even watch that show.

good luck on your adventures im sure whatever you do from here on out will be awesome.
