Discovery Channel - Moonshiners wrote:It's the dead of winter in Appalachia, and moonshine season is months away. Moonshiner Tim and his partner Tickle are planning a daring 100-mile bootleg run capped with a risky midday moonshine transfer - something Tim rarely does, but he needs the cash.
Last night, April 18th, 2012, a special episode of Moonshiners aired... The Cannonball Run special is intended to keep folks interested in the ongoing trials and tribulations of Tim and Tickle until the new season airs...
Now, anyone with some wits about them can pick up on some of the bogus crap being spewed in this newest episode... First and foremost is the fact that you can never fit 200 gallons of anything in a retired police car... And you surely won't fit it in only the drop section and fore section of of the trunk plus a few gallons under the rear seat cushion... I've hauled 120 gallon and 60 gallon fuel tanks around in the back of a pickup truck and I can assure you that the volume those two occupied would never fit inside a passenger car, let alone the extra ~1,320 pounds in weight...
Also, why would the police be out stopping people thinking they are transporting moonshine without probable cause...??? Sure, we have safety and DWI checks around here but if you pull up like you know what you're doing they just wave you through over 95% of the time... If you have your seatbelts on, have both license plates properly affixed, have current inspection and registration stickers, and your vehicle appears to be road worthy, they could care less... And those only happen on major roads, not on dirt paths through the woods... Drive any vehicle between points A and B without being nervous, and looking like you know what you're doing, and you won't be bothered...
One more thing... How would Tim and Tickle know whether some of the moonshine would be delivered in 1/2 gallon jugs that would fit under the rear seat...???
What did anyone else pick up on as totally bogus BS...???
