ROLFLMAO IMNSHO I'd still UNF UNF UNF it, but I just think she could use some more cushion.

no. no. he said "smileys rule" as in they kick ass, and are funny.

**ProdigyCustoms** · 01-28-2005

You guys that like fatasses are in luck, cause there are plenty of them, and 90% of them will only get bigger with age, so you should get happier everyday! Funny how times change.

**Fawkes** · 01-28-2005

Some points to ponder:

#1 Jessica Simpson is no Catherine Bach!
#2 There was no General Lee or any Charger that I can recall in the original movie about the Duke family, which was called "Moonrunners". I'd like to get a copy of that on DVD.
#3 I hope that they find some good homes for those Chargers used in the remake.

**70Dustpan** · 01-29-2005

Thats all we need is for them to go taking out a few more Charger. It's not like to price on the one left are high enough right now.

Oh... I thought it was funny too, but I thought it might be a bit excessive. I'll go fix it back...

**WS6** · 01-29-2005

interesting. i never knew that the show was based off a movie. i do know it was filmed in and around madison georgia, which is like 45 minutes from me now and only 15 when im at work.

yes, i thought the smilies were funny. no theres no rule about excessive usage

I saw that movie in the early '90s on the Learning channel of all places. It was actually pretty good, and I'm surprised that the TV show was so much more a comedy and the film was much more a drama. I'd like to see it on DVD too...

**zbugger** · 01-30-2005

Wow.... You guys are brutal. I'd love to hook up with Jessica Simpson. So she looks a little thin. So what. I'd say what it's all about, but I doubt you guys would get it. Hell, I should delete this thread just because of that...

On that note, I missed that show. It's alright. I still love the General, and that car will never be able to be changed. I know that John Schneider has one of the cars, and he's ugraded the hell out of it. Not all of them are in the wrong hands.

**Conekiller13** · 01-30-2005

But back to the Extreme Lee.................it's really not very extreme. Pretty much "stock" suspension, small brakes, A/T. Shouldn't have had one of those tubular K members that's available now? Coil overs? Big brakes? Painted the wheels apropiatly and actually installed the roll bar(it wasn't in the car when they were showing it finished). Guess someones gonna have to do it again but do it right.

**SHANE 73Z** · 01-30-2005

Daniel,

I was thinking the same thing the whole time. Absolutely nothing special about the car except for the appearance (wheels & paint) and the powerplant and the gear vendors unit.

Definitely a cool car, just not very extreme. If Mr. Sheppard intends to drive the thing like he said on the show, you think he would have turned his attention to the rest of the car as well.

**MuscleRodz** · 01-30-2005

I was beginning to wonder when this thread would turn back to the car. I agree, it was nothing special. They should have painted the wheels to better match the originals and the rendering. Suspension wise I don't think they did much but put Baer brakes on it. I would have like to see it more "XTREME".

Mike

**zbugger** · 01-30-2005

I also wish that there was more quiet time for listening to the car as it drove past. Yeah, I finally saw the episode tonight. Nice car, saw it at SEMA. I didn't realize it was his. Stupid me. Anyway, It's a cool car. To live up to the name, suspension mods would be cool, but twin turbos would have been better. It would at least live up to it's name better.

Dizzy Duke Ditsy Duke But no not a Daisy... They have hips up in them hills.. Id give it a spin.......... The car that is :3gears:

**69boo307** · 01-31-2005

There's a guy on Team Chevelle that owns THE original General Lee #1, the actual car.
it was found in a boneyard in GA, and is far beyond repair. It's also blue, although bits of the orange can still be seen underneath. Nevertheless it's the real thing, the car that did the jump during the intro to the show. Apparently that jump ruined it, and it was junked after that one scene.

I've read about that car in one of those Mopar rags..........to bad the car is that far gone.

........and Mike, had they put Bear brake on it that would have been ok, but they put on some lame SSBC stuff

**MuscleRodz** · 01-31-2005

Your right, my bad. I guess I was wishing it was Baer along with some other trick suspension pieces.

Yeah, it was parked in a junkyard after the show was done with it, and it sat there rusting away until a year or two ago.

**Richz68** · 02-02-2005

Personally the whole episode was a BIG let down to me...... I wish the car would have been either more rough and tough old scholl muscle car or a full-tilt ProTourer.

Kenny Wayne Shepard also lost a whole bunch of cool notches in my book by the time the hour was up.

Don't get me wrong the car was NICE, but it didn't do much for me...
