The show amuses me. I've accepted that the majority of the cars that come out of the shop are not "finished" cars but built to a point left for the new owners to add their own flair.
Its much better than the Street Outlaws show. Somebody tell me how those guys can have a show but somehow Pro-Touring doesnt. A televised race series would be great. Just follow Goodguys around with a film crew. As a bonus, we'd find out who the a$$hats are that are messing with shocks.

Those guys have a show because more people can relate to street racing than guys running around cones at a car show for bragging rights and a plastic trophy. I enjoy watching guys try to hook 1500+ legit HP on concrete for thousands of dollars in cash. It makes me giggle because I was one of them at one time.

I agree. I watched this show the other night and they are locking dough and paying up! Which brigs a thought, wouldn't auto cross become more exciting if there was some gambling involved?

Exactly, notice how in the last few "builds", there wasn't even a headliner installed.. it's TV, that's all...
I like it because there is no BS staged negativity. The guys seem to have fun at work and have a great attitude. It's nice to turn on the TV and see something that doesn't focus on how people are a$$holes to each other. They also do some pretty cool work. I know they don't have some high dollar purpose built pro touring cars, but they build some stuff that would be cool to own.
Im entertained by the show. No matter how false it is. I think someone already said it but there isnt all the whining and complaining that normally comes along with reality TV.
Plus I like how Richard can spin anything into drinking beer.
"Well I cant finish this but I can drink a beer"
"I even brought a beer for Aaron, but he doesnt drink so I'll have to drink 2"
I mean theyre kind of hack jobs there when you get down to it. They hammered in the firewall on an F40 to clear a brake switch. You just dont do things like that.
Be happy for the guys. A lot of negative emotion. It is a car show which I always prefer and it is TV and it must have good viewership to do all the upgrades. It is a business. Any of us would be happy for the blessing that they, OCC, Pawn Stars..... and other business have received by becoming a TV show. Seem like we are piling on the guys. More car shows are good for car people.
