Default Show on TLC called Carfellas

There was a new show on TLC called Carfellas last night about 3 mafia guys who are on the straight and narrow selling used cars on Long Island. Anyhow a guy comes to their dealership with an 87 944 Turbo looking to sell it. It looked to ne in good shape, with 156k on the odometer. He wanted to sell it to them for $9800 but the guys offered $5500 I believe.

I hate to admit I actually saw that show..... If that guy was a RL member, he'd have snatched that $5500 and ran like hell.

I watched that show too and was all happy the 951 showed up. I really dont think this show will make it past a couple episodes though. Most of the it is them eating italian food, talking about how they are italian, and then occasionally being confused by a car that isnt a cadillac.

LOL! The only way I'll watch it again is if someone actually gets his a$$ kicked. Which could happen....when the guy that bought the caddy for 5900 sees the episode...

Well when you put it like that tedro, I am going to get my tivo warmed up lol. Thought that TLC stood for "The Learning Channel". Seems to me that all the programs are either women having kids and not knowing that they were pregnant or this kind of stuff.... Yay learning!!!
