For me this show is unwatchable

I watched the couple episodes, most of it looks staged with obscene deadlines. I have really kind of gotten into back road gold, but they kinda overspend on some stuff. Gas Monkey, are mopar haters I am so sick of chevy and mustangs over and over. American car prospector, fake. Counting cars, people overpaying, but he seems cool. American Pickers, once they passed over a superbird for like 50 K for a VW sambra,I stopped watching them, as they kinda always put off a weird vibe. Chasing Classic cars is pretty interesting, he's just kind of a yuppy, nothing muscle related. Pawn Stars, fake, I liked their original idea,vegas pawn better. Rick was more personal, the cliants were from all over the map. Bringing anything from VCR, to rolex the shop was more real they all smoked the shop was kinda ghetto, yet there was no phony drama, like on Hard Core Pawn. If you watched Comedy Central back in the early 2000s, Dave Attel on Ansomniac went to the shop and they showed him some kinda weird stuff. Hot Rod TV was cool,I just didn't like the Kenny Wayne Shephard charger was a cleche', however I did like his xtreme lee charger. I love roadkill, they are real and get along well, plus the charger ratrod reminded me of what I wanted to do with my road runner, a mechanically sound car that has a ratty look. Stacy David was cool, he built some cool rides and showed some interesting tech. Graveyard carz, phony drama, cool cars though. Most car shows for some reason producers feel the need to add stupid dramao shows, and I have always hated it
 
Likewise. That guy Mark, the suppose boss, comes across as a real a..hole. I do give him a little credit for talking about some particulars regarding Mopars but he is so arrogant. I wish the gray haired fella would lay him out on the garage floor one day and his son in law tell him to kiss his...!
 
I have to admit that show Classic Car Rescue, is a really sucky bad show, I have only made it thru one complete episode with a Type I Jag XKE, they're just flipper hacks really... I rate it along the same lines as GYC, but without any cool MoPars to see in-between, all the BS grab a$$ & arguing going on, just slightly more tolerable....

I agree with another poster Hot Rod TV wasn't bad & the show Rides was pretty good too... I miss the Speed Channel, even the old TNN the Nashville Network/Diamond P Sports, had some really good old car shows & drag-races too... SpikeTV has a few decent shows on what use to be the Powerblock, it's been renamed & I don't remember what it's called even now, same cast of characters thou, 4 different shows, with Courtney Hansen as the MC/Host... Velocity & History & discovery Network Channels, occasionally Fox Sports 1 & ESPN2 are about the only stations I watch except for news & Football games, Pac-12 Network or the NFL Network, some Military Channel stuff...

Chop Cut Rebuild was OK sometimes too & Stacey David's Gearz was a good show too... But I have to say I'll watch a bad car show over 99.9% of the rest of the crap on TV...
