It's not a documentary, it's a TV show, take it for what it is... How many TV shows aren't scripted or fake ??, Including the news today... IMHFO I'd much rather watch a bunch of car guys race, even if it's staged for TV, than a bunch of Kardasians anytime/anyday... I watch every episode... Just like I do with Overhaulin {which many people here seem to hate Foose}, Counting Cars, Chasing Cars {with the guys from Texas & Flat12}, Graveyard cars {IMHFO the worst TV car show, constant product plugging for freebies, bad humor, a condescending boss, Mark Worman & other than the Mopars it sucks, I still watch, DVD & fast forward thru the BS}, Hard Shine reruns, Wheeler Dealers {weird borderline metrosexuals Brits, that don't clean parts before reinstalling them, pet peeve}, Chasing Classic Cars {just rich people dealing cars}, Street Outlaws {scripted street racing}, Fast & Loud {Gas Monkey boys find them entertaining at-least}, Barrett Jackson & Mecum auctions {rolling car shows, many people seem to hate & complain about too}, among others, IMHFO it's still better than most TV, especially all the American Idol X-factor or Survivor crap, let alone all the awards show praising all the Rich Celebrity types, self promoting carp, that's about their acting or singing careers & then giving them awards for it {that crap TV, really make no sense to me}... I only care about entertainment, I'm not critiquing the shows every episode, just passing time, seeing cars {that's the point} & some really bad acting... As someone "who actually did allot of real street racing", in cars that could run into the 7 sec. barrier, before I started to going way too fast for the street, too many squirrelly people spectating & following the real racers all over, most never ran their cars, just commented or bet on people "that actually were racing" & I quit doing it, I was afraid of losing everything, if someone got hurt &/or I get sued, so we went to the track instead, like many people end up doing after starting out street racing... Yes, I could critique the hell out of it... But At-least it's a car show, no the other crap...
