Win, Lose, or Draw Airdate: February 11, 1988 (I win!)
Finally transferred this from VHS! My appearance and win on Win, Lose, or Draw in 1988 at age 22. I absolutely killed it at the audition and was selected for the show. Not long after the show, Burt and Burt productions called and asked me to come to a group meeting to discuss changes that could be made to show to freshen it as it had been on the air with the same format for over a year. I should have hit them up for a job, but I was young and dumb and just wanted to be an actor and writer. Michele and I had known each other for less than 3 years at this point and we were married in 1990, and we are still together. It was a fun experience even though my hair is hilarious and my drawings aren't perfect. I still dominate Pictionary, so watch out!

      Interestingly, the subtle cosmetic changes from the regular GTA's hurt sales...it didn't look much different but priced much higher. Today, those subtle differences make these more of a unicorn and that amazing drivetrain makes them very desirable, along with their rarity.

      @sexclion8423 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually extractors are not a good idea neither is your technique no disrespect.. when cleaning a headliner you should try and use as little moisture as possible as the glue residue to hold the headliner will start to fall apart and the headliner will start caving in on you. I hope this doesn’t happen to you.. but the way i do it is spray a little bit of upholstery cleaner or shampoo than scrub like your doing I do it with a drill brush or a microfiber rag… than wipe off excess… pretty much extractors or steamers will melt the glue
