Car Shows on TV

[Scott F]

These days, it seems that there are as many car shows on TV as there used to be fishing shows. There is even an entire cable station, Velocity, devoted entirely to car shows. It's kind of funny that most have a pretty girl who is on the show, and there seems to always be some sort of deadline that has to be met. I never miss Fast & Loud or Jay Leno's Garage. I also like Wheeler Dealers. Which ones do you like?

Trying to get into Grand Tour on Amazon, but it's not as good.

Chasing Classic Cars is pretty good. Wayne Carinis head mechanic is great.

Don't really watch any anymore but growing up I remember always watching them with my dad on my weekends with him. Shade tree mechanics is the only one I really remember though. I do remember cast members splitting and getting own shows though. 

 

Then the one where the guy always built trucks and had a guitar to go with the truck usually.

Mecum had a  '71 Sox&Martin Hemi Cuda Pro Stock Drag car with all documentation at auction in May. Didn't see what it went for but estimated value was from 800k to over 1 million US bucks. Wow.

Been watching Counting Cars. Its a custom shop in Vegas, with an interesting crew of lunatics doing some outstanding work.

Although it is fairly fake I enjoy Garage squad.

Also enjoy Bitchin rides.

All girls garage isn't bad

Leno when I catch him is really good

Counting Cars is good.

Graveyard cars has great cars they focus on Mopars but the owner is so full of himself it isn't funny.... He prob means well but

he is an arrogant know it all jerk. He is super smart and super talented but personality-wise he is an idiot.

I watch Stacey David's show once in a while because it is so hands on.

I can't watch that show for exactly the reason you said. I'm not a car fanatic. So I need the show to be entertaining. I like the shows where the lead guy is likable.

Mark Worman (graveyard) is a know it all, but to me, he makes it funny. There are only 2 shows I wouldn't watch...that punk outta las vegas with the "brother" talk.(counting cars) and unique rides (the bolt-on king). I can bolt stuff on a car in 5 seconds!(napoleon Dynomite)
