Keep in mind, folks, shows like that aren't made for people like us They're made for people that don't hardly know which end of a hotrod is the front...

And that's the bad part, now the uninformed are being presented with material that portrays Hot Rodders as a bunch of over bearing, egotistical idiots who don't know a thing about scheduling and reasonable deadlines or generally how to run a business. I mean come on, has anyone here ever hired 5 apprentices at the same time, the majority of which are not qualified to even set foot in the shop, and have them work on a mega buck project???? Hopefully the general public sees these shows for the crap they are, and don't consider them representative of Hot Rodding or Hot Rod Shops!!!!!

Business must be off at So Cal if they have to accept money for this idiocy!!!! Maybe if we all call up and order a bunch of So Cal parts Pete will come to his senses and cancel the dang show???? !!!!

I don't think Pete will have to cancel the show..........that will probably happen anyway.

Another question, why do all these shows have deadlines that force them to rush building the cars??? Every car or bike has to be done like RIGHT NOW, or the world is coming to an end. If I were spending 6 figures or more, I would want them to take their time and not rush things.

I couldn't contain myself............sent an online comment card to TLC and told them the premise and choice of most of the Apprentices was lame. Knowing the way TV guys think, they will probably see that as a positive. "Hey, people are talking about our new show !!!"
