I stopped watching them all. Bikes and cars.

It seems they use the drama, costs, short deadlines and tempers, tool throwing, and much more silliness to sell these series to immature amateur enthusiasts... all for ratings to sell advertising time.

It became obvious a while back that these are not meant for hardcore, no-nonsense car buffs. We want to know why they chose the parts or concepts they did? How things are done to produce a desired result? How to maximize our dollars? How to avoid future problems or increase the long-term use of the vehicle?

Nuff said. I'll depend on you guys to tell me when there is a "serious" show on. I won't even sacrifice 10 minutes to give them a chance at my time any more.
