    Junkyard Wars ...

    Now THAT was a great show I hated to see go ... for those too young to remember it, read about it here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapheap_Challenge

    At one point a few of us at work were seriously working plans to make a run at it, but conflicting schedules got in the way. I'd love to see it come back, but they'd probably **ck it up anyhow. Too bad.

    If you want to watch it again you can find episodes on youtube under "Scrapheap Challenge" and "Junkyard Wars". It was a great show. I loved watching it as a kid.

    It aired from 1998 to 2009. I was 16-17 when I used to watch it. So a "young man" lol. Don't feel old.

    Watched it as a kid. I used one of the designs in one episode for a 9th grade school project, a golf ball thrower. I threw a golf ball over our school, and won by a long shot. Was voted most likely to kill a deer. I never missed an episode of that show.

    Great show.. my nephew tried to sign my brothers and I up a few times.. we would have killed each other lol

    I can build and hack a lot of things but some of the people on that show had serous brain power along with skilled hands .. like the guy with the giant handle bar mustache I think was on a bunch .. one smart mofo

    Yep that was a good show. Not much drama involved either.
