Anyone watch Graveyard Carz? Josh and Allysa split therefore, Josh is out. Also, Mark got rid of Darren. He is annoying anyway.

Same way most of them are/were. I remember the chop cut rebuild cars being literal chops and cuts and having to be redone in a lot of instances. Pimp my ride, west coast customs, list goes on. Lots of those shows half ass their way to a car and then finish it later, pitch it, or hand it over for the 'happy owner' to have to get redone in some form or fashion. The only one i've ever watched and liked was American Hotrod with Boyd coddington...and that show also went down the drain after about 5 episodes and it was the same old reality TV crap. Boyds quality went down the tubes as well. I am SO glad Tom Nelson survived the episodes he was in, too good of an engine builder to be put to death by a TV show that sucked.

BINGO! I was going to say the same thing. You mentioned the only two shows that are worth a rat's ass.

What is annoying about Fantom Works is that every car they work on always turns into "worst condition than they initially thought". From such an experienced shop, they always end up going over the cost of the repair/rebuild.

Those are the cars that should've had a catch can

LOL. Now that you've brought it up, I have never seen any Velocity show install a catch can on any car. Damn, all these guys are clueless. I am done.

What is annoying to me is his Brake Tests! Let's Flat Spot the customers brand new tires and see if the customer is happy.

Haha. LOL.
I find Dan sort of annoying the way he bullies his customers. There is this one episode where the customer got into an accident with his VW Beetle and did not take shit from Dan. He did not accept the car until it was the way he wanted it to be, not what Dan wants it to be.

Velocity has taken over production of Wheeler Dealer and the mechanic from the show, Ed China, is leaving. The reason he gave is Velocity told him his in depth and detailed coverage on how to repair each car is too difficult to make and will be reduced. I'm sure now its going to be a reality car show like the rest of them.

Bummer. WD was one of the best, BECAUSE of Edd.

Jared Zimmerman's Car Fix isn't bad. Their Sta Bil Camaro was epic. Although I heard a rumor he does most of the work for the girls on all-girls garage.

Seeing the first episode with Ant Anstead, this does not seem to be the case. Ant rebuilt the turbo and few other mechanical things in great detail. He even fabricated a third wing on the Ford Cosworth and did a wind tunnel test.

Did you watch the New Show? - it was good! I miss Edd but Ant seems to be a good replacement

Misfit Garage is definitely fake along with almost all of the Velocity shows, I bet their builds are shit in real life when you get down to the details. The only one I like is Bitchin Rides.

Tonight's Wheeler Dealer episode is a Toyota Supra. Whoooooo!. I can't wait.
Also, for those who missed the first episode, they will show it again tonight.
