Dawn of an online series: OPEN ROADS

Hello everyone,
After a long, long Hiatus from my usual blogging and overall PeachParts presence, I am proud to announce the inauguration of our web series, hosted by TylerH860 and yours truly. We will operate from our youtube channel, producing little video "nuggets" and full 15-20minutes episodes. We have shot three episodes in three very different locations across the USA, and we have a LOT of amazing material we need to edit down into a watchable video in a month or two. Many surprises await!

Once again, it would have not been possible if it had not been for PeachParts. This community has brought an amazing bunch of people together, and has been a platform not only to share our automotive rants, but our life experiences. THANK YOU ALL!

Here are some snapshots of what we have shot so far...

Photobucket Album: Open Roads





Because the full episodes take so long in post-production, we are going to make a few short videos on a frequent basis, which we call "nuggets". Here is our first nugget, called "Don't Tailgate", starring Tyler and his grandma!



Click here or in the picture above.

And then, the usual paraphernalia:
-Like us on Facebook...
-Our website is still under construction (www.openroads.tv)

It's been a massive time and money strain, but SO WORTHED so far! In all honesty, I would not be doing anything else. We hope to start pitching material to several TV stations so we can get a little more *ahem* budget to get to a professional level of production. Wish us luck and share Open Roads with your peers!

Good luck guys, and I expect we will be seeing a fair number of Mercedes in the background...

Talking "Sign"

Someone needs to tell you the 60's are OVER.


We LOST.


Signs - YouTube

And the sign said,
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man.
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that.
huh , me workin' for you."

Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scen'ry.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

And the sign said,
"Anybody caught trespassin'
Will be shot on sight."
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face,
'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'"

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, Mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
You can't even watch. No, you can't eat.
You ain't supposed to be here.
The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card
To get inside." Uh.

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome.
Come in. Kneel down and pray."
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign.
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me.
I'm alive and doin' fine."

Whoo! Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Sign, sign.

I was a very young child in the 60's

About picture #1.


When we suggested you do a segment at a topless bar I don't think you understood what we were saying.


Picture #2.

Looking forward to this segment. "Apparel choices and instruction for the seriously fashion challenged"
