Paint and chrome won't get you home?

[Pokageek]

I don't get it. Watching CMT "trick my truck" (Semi's). The show starts out with a Marine and his wife and family. He makes his living driving his semi. His wife complains that his truck is in need of help and breaking down twice a week on the road. So.....she calls CMT "Trick My Truck" and they give the truck a complete make-over and it looks brand new...


BUT the do nothing with the engine or mechanicals. Now being an all go - no-show guy myself...won't it look nice and all perty while it is being towed down the road. Why don't they do anything to fix up the engine and drive-train???

They should make a show where you take sick and injured people and give them beauty make-overs.

WTF is up with the title of this thread?

 

[95cobraguy]

insane, aint it?

He's saying that the whole reason for callin "trick my truck" was to fix it to where it would not break down, but instead they just did cosmetics. Sorta like re-painting a ceiling where water damage is present and the plumbing still leaking.

heh, sorry about the title guys..It was my failed attempt at analogy type humor. I should have entitled it "Paint and Chrome won't get you home.."

Haha, that slipped past me. I was just thinking it was going to be about plumbing / painting. When I read it, I was like "huh?". I feel dumb now. You happy?!!!
