For me, the therapy and enjoyment is in the building of the project, so...no.

I do like some of the "worthy" cases that you see on the show tho. Like the guy with a huge family who is busting his butt 12-14 hrs a day in a grease pit to put bread on the table and just can't put any time or money into a car he's had since high school, that kind of thing.

I don't enjoy watching someone like Lance Armstrong or Ian nose-ring or whatever his name is get overhauled, for example.

I'm with you, on all points. I think most of us on here would mush rather DO IT, or at least see our ideas come to fruition. That rather than hand it over to someone else to express themsleves all over it.

I think Overhaulin' lacks the heart of, say, "Extreme Makeover- Family Edition". That damn show gets me all misty every time. Bring that sort of heart to the car thing and it'd be better. I think we could all relate to that.
