I am shocked everytime I see that the show is still on the air. I think the level of talent at "Chop Shop", makes the old "Pimp My Ride" look like superstars.

it seems as if the "designer" on Chop Shop thinks about mugging it up for the camera first.... then trying to build a quality car.

I can't imagine anyone seeing them on TV, and then saying to themselves "man, I've got to have them build something for me!"

I like Beetle Crisis

At least its "real"....the guys dont know much and dont have much $$ but they fully admit it. They do the best they can with what they have....I think it does represent a glimpse of what 90% of guys go through when they are building a car in their garage. Its not always pretty but isnt that really true for alot of builds out there? At least they arent acting like its a million dollar super car or doing it to sell off to some unsuspecting sap or to build for a paying customer.
