Cool, I ran for many years. But the phasing out of old iron shows, and two ruptured discs in my neck forced me to quit. Still have the itch once in while, like every time I go watch;)

Still have the itch once in while, like every time I go watch;)I too had a herniated C4/C5 disc fused in '07 and that's why I only build them now with my Son......who doesn't even start the car without a neck brace....something i should of done many years ago....lol

I heard there is some old Detroit station wagon body, from the 70's maybe, that commands a ridiculously high price in the junkyards because demolition derby drivers covet the frame strength.

Do you guys have any favorites? Do your phones ring in the middle of the night, a salvage guy on the other end whispering that a '68 Crown Vic with a bad tranny was ready to be flat-bedded out for the right price?

How about variations? Team Derby? Push a VW Beetle across a goal line? Tag?

We don't have enough of that kind of good entertainment around here.

I unfortunately do not get the channel either. I get a ton of HD channels I don't want or use, but not some of the channels I really want. But as long as I get all the ESPN, NFL, and fox sports channels. I will make do;)
