Default Car tv shows

Been talking with my boys. I realize that the redneck show displays our hobby the best but I usually watch it on mute. LOL
My favorites are
Graveyard Cars
Counting Cars
Overhaulin'
Chasing classic cars
Car Chasers
Search and Restore
Powerblock

What you think?

What's the new one with Jessie James, Auston Speed or something like that. The episodes I have seen of that show are pretty good. Love him or hate him, Jessie is a true fabricator.

he makes his own tools to make material to make parts to make bikes.

I tried to watch Graveyard cars but that guy is such a prick I had to turn it off... and I love 70's Mopars. (BTW The Phantasm Cuda' is my all time dream movie car) I'd watch ass monkey before that show.

My fav's, not in order

Chasing classic cars
Counting cars (even though its scripted)
Rides (even though the narrator can put Carrot top on an eight ball to sleep)
American hot rod (till they made Liz cry, girl power!)
Fast and loud (since they moved to the new shop)
Extreme 4x4 (All time favorite)
Car chasers (even though Jeffs wife reminds me of my 4th grade teacher that use to yell at me.)
Dream Car Garage (fricken show got cancelled)

I like to laugh and I love a good joke.

Its entertainment.

I agree couldn't watch the desert hacks to the first commercial.

Thats to get the wife to watch.

Da Rod shop show looks promising. The Billy's like Camaro's too. Lets see how much the producers screw up.

My favorite is Graveyard probably because of all the "Mopar Babble" about codes and broadcast sheets/trim tags. I have to give Worman credit he isn't creating the fantasy that a car can go together quickly and be well built. Overhaulin for me is fiction, I have to think some of these cars are thrashed together to make deadlines and compromises are definitely made in those builds ( I heard rumors of a lawsuit over the 442 build as I recall. )

Assmonkey? When they built the Olds powered T/A they were frigging IDIOTS for not calling GM and getting a LS motor/trans kit especially since they were probably in stock at Scoggin Dickey Chevy, I'm sure GM would have sold one to those guys at cost. The Assmonkey Dale Earnhardt Nomad wasn't very impressive either. Looks like they lost their ass on the F40 and it went to the right guy....Reggie!

I agree with you there, that car deserved an LSx for the price they charged. Jr's Nomad too.


I feel the F40 build was a sham. Mr. Money pants wanted it built all along and the producers saw a good story to make up.

I love Mopars but I just can't get past Wormans mouth and attitude.
