I believe you're thinking of the Fiat X1/9 they had a few seasons ago.

I wonder what myth they're trying to bust with a Fiero......

....maybe the myth about Fiero fires..........or Fiero's flip backwards at 88MPH.........or that Fiero's are deathtraps.

Oh god no... they don't treat cars at all well.. Someone go steal it and save it from destruction.

i'm still miffed about the ( squished ) fiat, and the ( pig) vette, and the Tesla episode.

I did not realize that new episodes were still being made. On Sunday afternoons I used to watch the re-runs, but the same ones every week got old so I started re-arranging my sock drawer instead.

If you roll them you stretch out the elastics prematurely.

But I always wear holes in the socks way before the elastic wears out from rolling them. Rolling FTW.

Judging by the tube coming out of the roof, and the fact that the windows are tightly closed, maybe the A/C is on full blast, feeding cold air under "pressure" to the intake to see if it adds speed.
The OTHER Fiero will have one of those 'performance' air filters located under the hood to see if that adds speed.
Neither will be faster than a stock Fiero.
Next, they'll feed butane or hydrogen into that tube, and have Buster the rubber dummy light a cigarette......

I honestly didn't realize the show was still on. I thought they were running re-runs.... hmmm... shows how little I've been watching. I think they've gotten through all the myths that interested me anyhow. I wonder what shape the car is mechanically. Sad to see another one of our passions used this way.


edit: It's even more sad that the car resembles mine in alot of ways.

I'm thinking this may be it "The myth probably is that for 1/10th of the price of a supercar you can buy an old car and make it just as fast. "

That is one that is going to be skipped across a pond. The dryer hose is for dry air from the people compartment to the motor. Nitrous is to give it more speed in hope that it will make it across

Did ya notice even Jessi cant keep her hands off herself

They drove them by remote control. Im guessing it was easier and safer to pull the ebrake to stop or slow down than linking it up to reg brakes. The bra was sheet metal...
