Just got off the Phone with Dave Kindig Episode 7 we will have a set of our wheels on a 72 Cuda they feature on the show.
Should be on 3-4 weeks

I love Dave's show. I do wish it was a bit more tech. Like that Dodge they built looked to have a Gen 3 Hemi with custom valve covers to make it look like a Gen 1. Very cool, but they barely showed it and I was interested in seeing some detail on that, just because it was that cool.

Problem with Fast N Loud and etcetera is that the shows are very little about the cars or the tech, they are all about phony manufactured drama and self promotion. Just a different spin on the reality show genre. The producers are pandering to the masses and the tech is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. Some of the cars they build are just junk. It is just dumbfounding to run into someone that says things like "I wish that I could have a car built by them, it would be awesome"... no, it would not.

I can't believe you guys don't like a$$ monkey garage, It makes me feel great to know somebody actually screws more stuff up then me, and that cheap beer.

Part of it for me is that they are local... and some of the locals will spend an hour in line to get an autograph or picture at the local events. Really. But, yes, I will watch it with my 11 year old boy and even he laughs... because he knows better. We see them at a local event sometimes, and just keep on walking. I did go to one of their shows, they had Marines in the parking lot collecting toys. My boy and I bought a toy, dropped it off, talked to one of the Marines, checked out some cars and left.

I like Daves show so far. You can only pack so much into an hour show so you're probably not going to see the nuts and bolts of each build. Sometimes it's hard remembering we are the tiny minority viewers. I like that the overall feel of his show is positive and displays a team strategy.

I stopped watching Fast n Lewd. After being told a $150000 Camaro was built by that staff in 4 weeks, I decided I'd had enough. Richard doesn't love the cars or have any self respect. Dressing like a Steven Tyler stand in and touching your hair while you whore cars out doesn't a real car guy make. I think Aaron is moderately talented and understands the fundamentals of design, but surely isn't a Troy or Chip by any stretch. Americans like rock stars and drama, so they'll tune in for season after season of made up prices and cars without headliners. Real car people can smell a fake from far away.

its entertainment. You just have to recognize that.

Some of the builds they price are embarrassing.
Dale Jr Nomad $75K with a GM crate. While they do a $50K truck with suspension and an LS crate. Now the $150K Sonic Camaro with stock frame , stock interior and butchered firewall. Nice car but could have been done.

I really like Bitchin' Rides. The crew is likable without being overly dramatic and the builds are pretty cool. My only wish would be if they incorporated the one good thing from American Hot Rod and that would be multi-episode build format. I think there were some that stretched across 4 episodes.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Counting Cars. They seem to build nice cars but it drives me crazy that he stops people on the street to try to buy their cars. At least Danny Koker seems like a legitimate car nut not just an opportunist trying to make a fast buck like A$$ Monkey.

You gotta know those Drive-Bys are set-ups. Otherwise they people wouldn't be "Mike'd Up"

danny "the count" aint makin his money from cars.i think hes got tattoo palors and clubs in and around the vegas strip.seems the car thing is just for fun.he seems like a nice friendly guy
