I can't say much yet other than intense would be an understatement. I'm under NDA until given the green light which I'm guessing will be after it is all public and honestly I wouldn't wanna ruin it for you guys anyway. I will say the other 9 folks were fantastic people and awesome to hang with. I worried it might turn in to the Hunger Games but that absolutely wasn't the case. Everyone was super supportive of each other which was great to see.

You'll killing me right now.

Good luck.

So I'm about as in the dark on everything as everyone else, and it's par for the course based on my experience, but someone did send me this:

https://www.dodgegarage.com/news/ar...the-greatest-automotive-job-in-the-world.html

The finale webisodes documenting the eliminations will air on the Dodge brand’s social media channels like a reality TV show, with the final episode revealing the Chief Donut Maker on April 26, 2022 (HEMI® Day).

Tons of cringe in the comments on that article. 🥴

Good luck and on 4/26… champagne? Also would that stop you from posting here?

Nothing like being on a reality TV show...

Did they want you to recite the woke pledge or anything?

They're creating a ton of discourse among their faithful followers. Not sure where this is going to lead?

Good luck and hopefully that its going to be the time of your life!!

congrats Speedy...as noted numerous times throughout this thread,"You are the RIGHT one to represent the MOPAR brand." It should have been noted that you are constantly trying to help educate others with past problems, issues, cures, upgrades, and how-to knowledge that is invaluable in both time and cash saved when attempting this on our own...Again GOOD LUCK!(not that you will need it, you're a no brainer for the spot.)

 

[Hickster]

Yea,, what he said.

 

[Speedy!]

Thanks again everyone, bottom line I legit love this stuff and have had some really awesome experiences as a result of this car culture. Things I can look back on when I'm in the nursing home and think how blessed I was to be a part of it. From having the car built at Arrington, starting ChallengerFest, and making a ton of like minded friends on these forums.

@fumanchu182 funny you mention the comments, I honestly didn't pay much attention to any of that. I learned long ago that social media has rotted people's brains and led them to believe their personal opinions matter more than they do. Respectful criticisim/feedback is A OK with me but irrational name calling is just noise. The 10 of us spent about a total of 5 minutes laughing at some of the comments during some down time and I just told them all to ignore the noise.

I didn't know who Jenson was until someone mentioned him. I looked him up and the dude can definitely drive but talk about being a liability to a corporation drifting around cars on on ramps and what not. I tried to kind of coach the younger folks to really think about what they put online if they are even remotely interested in sponsorships etc. It matters. Khal is actually a pretty cool dude and he and I have interacted a bit on some DMs where he had some questions about his project and I had some about his Hellephant. The rules for submission were lenghty and I think a lot of people knocked themselves out by not following them to a T. I had several ask me why no donut.....well they said several places not to do anything illegal and I didn't wanna even give the impression I was on a public road or something.

Most people whining that people that already have Dodges were picked, well I hope so. I for one would not try to represent chevy. Other saying it was fixed but by picking Speedy we all know that isn't true

I'm glad you decided to do it. Either way of the out come you will always remember the experience

 

[BULL]

For some of those comments on the Garage

The job title is

Chief Donut Maker

Not

Apprentice circle Creater

 

[Speedy!]

That was sorta something else that was a bit mis-leading to the general public that might not have had exposure to something like this before. Most people don't consider PR and a corporate public image which is a thing now more than ever.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't practicing drifting the Hellcat around a bit the week before though Folks at the gas station got a nice show
