His shop is about 20 blocks from my house. I've been in the shop and waited 20+ minutes to talk with him regarding a local transit system expansion and the impact to his business. While waiting I was playing close attention to his operation and his demeanor with the Mopar fanatics from out of state he was talking with and how he interacted with his employees.

You couldn't pay me to watch his show and no way would I do business with him.

I like Graveyard Carz. I watch it for the comedy aspect of it. He is such a smart ass. Its funny.
It would be like making a show with Rodger at Ironworks with Greg Weld, myself, Doug Renner and a few others. The name calling and the sarcasm would make the show a hit.

Gasmonkey would be a lot better if Rawlings wasn't on it. I watch it for some good entertainment. I think Sue is hilarious and I like Aaron and Casey and Tom. The other thing I like about it is that I could do pretty much everything they're doing.

A lot of this stuff is staged, including pretty much every single price negotiation. American Pickers is too. I heard from a guy that was on there that everything was negotiated before hand and the price they said on TV was inflated more than double what it actually changed hands for.

Until they have a show that actually goes through things step by step intead of glossing over everything that's important all a guy can do is watch for entertainment anyway. There's very seldom anything to actually learn from the shows. Even Jesse James show glosses over mostly everything.

I like wheeler dealers as well.

The shows I don't like are Desert car Kings and that one with the owner who rubs me the wrong way. The strict ex-military guy who treats people like dirt.

I have noticed a trend on the new "powernation" shows... They seem to be trying to cram more projects into each episode and are glossing over more and more all of the time. This disappoints me, I've watched that series of shows since the very first Stacey David's Trucks show.

Speaking of Stacey David, is Gearz on TV again now and if so, what channel?

Did anyone else also watch Shadetree Mechanic and if so did you follow them on as they got more commercialized? I started out with them but the more "produced" they got the less I watched...

I've just recently started watching Fast and Loud and for entertainment's sake, I like it...but the tech on the show is pretty low tech and I often see things that I KNOW I could do better in my own little shop with my self taught wrench training.

and how buyers operate during negotiations.

I have first hand experience with the Desert Dog guys work. A guy brought me his car that was built there to sort out a few mechanical issues. At 10 feet away its slick nice looking car. Once I got under and inside it was some of the worst fiberglass and bondo rust bucket cover up jobs i have even seen. I told him to sell it for what ever he can get before he hits a big bump in the highway and the 1/4's fall off.

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

Looks like another bust

These asses are building a SHOW car tribute,, and they pull the engine 2 times and they look like they have been to a upickit junk yard,and crawled under a leaking junk TA...
