I was not expecting a car as cheap as the Mitsubishi Mirage to show up in Gas Money in all places.

[furneralcar47]

Now and Then:  Great game.  Great win.

You Do The Math:  No excuse to lose with that setup as fire-tables on TPIR run at least $2800 or $3000

Gas Money:  Nobody but a car salesman or car dealer was going to win this game today with that setup

Range Game:  Textbook win using The SteveG Rule

Clock Game:  We don’t see prizes cheaper than $600 in this game very often.  Nice walk off win with 1 second left

Path Finder:  My least favorite small prize car game pops up and bites yet again

Showcase:  I’d have gone over bidding on the 2nd Showcase as well

Love, Life and Light to All!

Range Game:  Textbook win using The SteveG Rule

Can you refresh us on this rule?

[DebonairDylan]

Gas Money:  Nobody but a car salesman or car dealer was going to win this game today with that setup

I would have won Gas Money myself, having seen that Mitsubishi Mirage a lot this season, I knew it was $18,xxx. An average viewer who's not a car salesman or car dealer maybe wouldn't win, but a LFAT will.

[furneralcar47]

Can you refresh us on this rule?

When in doubt stop the RangerFinder with the top end of the red area at the halfway point on the range scale.

Range Game:  Textbook win using The SteveG Rule

Can you refresh us on this rule?

Yes, I'm pretty curious, myself, given that I've never had a trick for winning Range Game.

[crazypackersfan]

Drew, I've come around on you, and I think you're now doing a good job, but... please stop with the "aww"s and deep breaths when you read an actual retail price that someone barely went over on. The fact that they went over means someone else won. Be happy for the winner, instead of disappointed that they're the one coming up on stage/winning the showcase. This happened twice in this episode and occurs almost daily. I hate the idea of the host favoring one contestant over another.
