  The "Rides" show was about the "Xtreme Lee", built for Kenny Wayne
Shepard at Red Line Gauge Works; basically a modern interpretation of
the General Lee, built from a '69 Charger. I was enjoying the show
until it veered off into PC-land where they spent about 5 minutes
explaning that even though it has a Confederate flag on the roof,
that doesn't mean that Kenny or anyone involved in the car is a hick
or a racist or whatever else they want to pretend the flag stands
for. Give me a break! :-P I've enjoyed most of the "Rides"
episodes, but some of them are almost content free (like the Jack
Ozbourne show), and listening to 90210-boy trying to drop his voice
an octave in an attept to sound all serious and cool is really getting
on my nerves. ;-)

   One other thing that bugged me about the "Xtreme Lee" show
was when TTI exhaust showed up... in a Toyota pickup. What was
THAT all about?? :-)
