Whoo Hoo. We made it to another episode. Just think, so far we have eliminated a Porsche, Pantera, Ferrari, Evo, Camaro and now a Dart. Who says the little solstice can't compete.
Can I get an "AMEN BROTHER?" LOL
Ah yes, they really do not like to be stalled-I've done it twice-stupid human moves, both times, parked, with pbrake on, and forgot I hadn't shut it off yet. Both times it ran like cr@p when started next, had to 'power cycle' once then was ok.
Another excellent episode, altho' those Bama boys need to go home, and soon

Looking good Team Solstice! I liked team Dart. That was too bad. Vette should have put the Lexus girls in that challenge as Avalanche's vehicle was made for that challenge's terrain. Oh, and they kept saying "...and Bear gets in Tony's face" but then never showed the whole confrontation, just a snippet. I guess I need to watch the challenge part again as I never saw it. Those War Eagle boys gotta go!

Sending my love to Team Solstice for representing Pontiac and the Kappa community.
You guys had a fabulous run and It tears me up to know that you had to go home.
With that said, Tony and Theresa, you are my heroes! heh heh.
All I want now is for Avalanche to GO HOME!

Man that sucks! At least you did not loose while driving your own car. It really is unfair that you had to use a provided car to do a contest. Not that you would want to put your car through that event, but the whole concept of the TV show is to show how your car that you own can perform against other makes and models. That challenge was just stupid! It really had no direct effect on owner's and their cars. It was all about luck. If your windshield gets full of dirt and you can't see, your screwed. And you know after the 3 team went up(Solstice) that the stunt drivers figured out exactly what to do. Who ever went first was going to have an advantage. VW only came in first because they did not hit the wall like Avalanche did.
