Can you say marketing!!!!! The show is very popular so it makes sense from a marketing stand point. I like it, it's just entertainment plus when you have to spend a couple of weeks in a hotel room at night you either watch TV or go drink at the bar

I like to count how many times Richard touches his hair. 16 times last night! Stop touching it!

I watch it (and often fast n quiet through most of it) but it is entertaining and car related... sorta.

This new season is definitely on a downturn for me as they get more popular and mainstream. Now they are doing corporate builds?!? When it was a show about a corner garage doing pimp-and-fluffs and flipping them, it was fun to watch.

They probably edit out him grabbing his crotch all day long.

It will become just like all the "reality" shows..... They start off "real" and then as it succeeds it becomes all staged and set up.... Corporate sponsors, product placements, celebrity appearances etc etc

The whole shop sure did expand all of a sudden.... Lots of expensive equipment etc.... Likely provided by the TV production company and net work....

I kinda thought the same thing about al the equipment.Richard is so cheap and only care's about making a quick buck.Anybody like that would never spend ton's of money on super nice high dollar tool's.Also notice all the big dollar toolbox's that showed up as soon as they moved into the new building.Just like OCC.

I like the show. I think they do decent work. The big thing I like about them is that they show car and labor cost XXX and they sold the car for XXXX. Don't know if those numbers are 100% true, but I still think its cool to see how much they are really making on these builds.

I still don't believe they really restore an entire car to 100% perfect in 7-10 days though.

But either way this whole episode is definitely marketing. I'm sure Dale Jr himself isn't a huge Diet Dew fan...but he's a fan of money!
