Bitchin' Rides is ending!

They will probably play the hell out of these dropped shows on reruns.
On the bright side of it , maybe new , better , car restoration shows will evolve.

 

[chargervert]

Maybe they will all get together and start their own channel.

Most of the car shows are body shop soap operas. Some of them are dyno shop soap operas. Neither hold my attention for even one episode.
There are some other car channels on the free streaming services found on a lot of smart tv's. Hagerty has a channel. Not always good stuff, but occasionally they will have some guy go drive and talk about some random car for like half an hour. Generally, not in a paid shill type of way either.
There is also a lot of retro racing to be found. Still waiting for the channel that plays all the old Can-Am stuff from the early 70's. Haven't seen one yet. Kinda wish Road America would just play a channel full of any event that ever happened there in the last half century+. I would watch that daily.

Aw you are just jealous because yo white hair is falling out! lol

When you do decide to get a haircut, save some for me so I can replant it on top of my noggin.

How did that song go? "Get a hair cut and get a real job" lol

 

[maxwedgechar]

@Mopar Hunter I agree, when they chopped the top I turned it off. Same thing with Roadkill. They acted like a bunch SoCal yahoos when they were driving the Dodge motorhome on the highway with parts falling off. And then the same episode give or take they had no idea that you're supposed to replace the front seal every time you take the converter out.

I managed to get the hair cut

A little off the top and sides!

Beheaded Dodge! I might be familiar with this!

They are killing off the car shows right when we are about to start the great resurgence of ICE vehicles.

Interestingly, at the same time all these channels are being cancelled, MT comes out with this ditty:

Things that make you go "hmmmm"....

Go woke go broke. Motor Trend had a nice run.

Glad new episodes of Roadworthy Rescues starts this week, I kinda like watching seeing old junk getting fired up

 

[chargervert]

I liked that show too. Derek has inspired me to just get some of mine running and driving again. I fired up my Little Red Express truck after sitting for five years and drove it onto the truck to be shipped to it's new owner.

I guess I was a "thinker" decades ago, I always said, "find a good project car and get it running and driving and THEN make it as nice as YOU want." ha

I like watching BR, and am at this moment watching Iron Resurrection, because they show a lot of the metal fab that goes into the builds. I'm sorry, but if you don't see that stuff as art...you're in the wrong hobby. I don't look so much at the finished product as I do at the steps that went into it. The amount of time they spend doing taillight housings on a Chevelle is impressive to say the least. Or a firewall. Or a Hudson pickup bed. It's...an art form.

One of these days I should learn to weld....

 

[Kern Dog]

I saw this on another forum....

I'd sure like to know how they merged a 67-72 skin over a quad cab late model Chevy truck. It looks like it could be stock.

 

[Mopar Hunter]

Sadly even Iron Resurrection has some drama, you don’t see as much metal fab, like they used to.

 

[j-c-c-62]

As interesting as some of the content was, it became repetitious, the soap opera aspect was a bit much, just go visit a therapist and leave out your personal speed bumps, and my main interest was really more performance-based improvements rather than automotive cosmetic glam.

 

[chargervert]

I know that there has been more drama in my 45 plus years of doing this hobby between friends with cars,parts and personal schit that happened, so in some cases the drama is real, others just manufactured bullsh*t.
