Thumbs down Boyd and "reality" car TV Shows

I just can't watch any of these shows anymore, I delete them from TiVo without watching them probably 90 percent of the time. The producers of these shows are running out of ideas to get people to tune in, hence going for the outright ridiculous, staged-drama crap at Boyds (it won't be long until the few key guys with real talent at Boyds realize that the Boyd name is (again) tarnishing rapidly because of all this half-staged nonsense, and they will leave, before it rubs off too much on them.)...Boyd, come to your senses before it's all over (or...are you just planning to go down in flames?)

Makes me want to sell the Boyd wheels off my car.

The Lance thing is the same deal, get some big names to get people to watch. How can anyone get even the least bit emotional about her surprizing him with a resto'd goat? Yawn. Just go buy him a done-one, honey. And pick up a McLaren F1 to park in the living room while you're at it.

....What happened to surprizing the guy with four kids who works 90+ hours a week in a chemical waste plant, with a restored car that he's held onto since he was in high school?

We are seeing the beginning of the end of the infatuation that the general (non-car-people) public has been having with anything with wheels and drama on TV. Don't worry, it will all be over soon.

Well after watching Rides tonight I finally know why Charlie the painter left. He and his whole paint crew from Boyds shop now work for Chip Foose. I guess the whole Boyd drama finally got to them. Pretty soon it will just be Boyd and Dwayne. I would much rather work for Foose.
