Anybody been watching it lately? Saw a new episode last night, or at least I think it is new. They took a mercedes SUV and made it into an SUV that someone in a wheelchair can drive. They roll in through the back and drive while still sitting in a wheelchair.



The difference is that the build team is allowed only one freebie unlike the multiple thousands of dollars in freebies they got last season. They are however allowed to sell parts pulled off the vehicles to increase the amount of cash they can spend. Seems a lot better. The team actually had to fabricated some things on last night's episode instead of just getting them for free.

I saw it. I'm not sure sure that was a permanent change. Was it?

Much better to me too. I was tired of seeing them get more freebies then they could have ever bought with their allotted amount. 29k for the rock climber was just stupid. Glad they have changed that now.
