I have only met him twice ,once at the South Bay farewell party, and then this drive. He was nice to me in person each time , but his online style does seem to be abrasive and rowdy. The show seems to kind of focus on customized cars and car cultures so in that light, I think his car was perfect for the interview and ride along. Plus he was not nervous on camera and it is one bad ass car to represent us on TV !

Funniest thing that day was when I was waiting for the next run up on Stunt road overlook. Frank zips up and drops off the cameraman who went for a ride along with him. Poor guy was pale, sweaty and shaking looked ready to puke haha.

Also it looks like they chose to use the slower - tamer footage of the driving, they made a point of not wanting to appear to be breaking any laws or have us speeding for the show......
