I'm sure you don't want to hear what I have to say about illegal street racing, so I'll just be quiet on this one.
.
Our history says it took years for rodders to shake the degenerate image that had been pasted on them, now thru the "real tv" aka "staged TV" shows we possibly could get a new or previous image it so long to shake, there is no benifit to racing where they are, unloading full race cars off trailers while there is a local drag strip right around the corner (Thunder Valley) so they can race on roads the TV crews have shut down (or have staged police arrive) makes no since to me, other than the fame of being on TV, If anybody sees a reason I am up to hearing it.
I think most are watching it because -Like Me - you can't find any drag racing on TV!
And while they are not on a drag strip, they have an ambulance onsite and they are on a closed section. Detroit got scared because so many folks were showing up to watch and participate they canceled the permits thay had issued and closed down the racing.
I don't blame them.. (I'm surpriced they allowed it to go on at all!) but it does go to show these "street racer" types are not what they appear to be.
It's just another 'reality' show trying to give the illusion of illegal racing. I don't watch it because I can't stand all the bragging an posturing they do. They're just Kardashians with cars.
Sounds like another scripted show in reality format.
Reminds me of moonshiners. It could have been a nice drama, but they chose the reality format which cheapened the production.
Yep - Dallas Car Sharks, Graveyard Cars, Fast N' Loud, Misfit Garage. Every one of those seems to have a 'class clown' in the cast - who generally tries to be funny, but isn't. Bitchin' Rides is OK, but Kevin Schiele is a talented fabricator who tries too hard to be a comedian . . . and is woefully unfunny.Quote:

I'm sorry to hear he's hurt, but glad to hear he survived.
As far as the unreality format of the show goes, it's a necessary evil to get the cars and the racing on TV. Unless they are faking the outcomes of the races, the surrounding unreality is irrelevant.
I'm glad that the races aren't actually being held on open roads with no emergency personnel on hand...and I think they shouldn't be featuring Farmtruck and Azin's "fishing" exploits on open roads. On the other hand I'd love to see grassroots club racing on tracks or closed roads flourish nation wide.
Okay Jack, you just got my vote for "Line of the Year" when describing TV car shows!:eek::LOL:Quote:

Being able to record the show and fast forward through the commercials sure helps Jack. :LOL: Man, that is a bad wreck for sure. Those rocks sure don't give........ I'm not going to get in a debate of street racing, but how many motor heads haven't done racing on the street in some fashion? Sure, the show depicts a BS picture of how it really is. But the networks would never show how it really is because they'd be shut down and in the court rooms I bet.
I was going to use the WWE as an analogy.. but maybe yours "fits better"! :eek::LOL:Quote:

Overhaulin' is over, but Dallas Car Sharks continues. Sigh . . .
Final Overhaulin' is on tonite for me... at 9 pm eastern.
Car Sharks.. whatever.. it's good for the mindless I guess.
It's on TV so.. "they" consider it entertaining. If "they" were to make it worth watching by "our" standards.. it probably wouldn't make it to a second show!
I figured that Overhaulin' was done, when Velocity posted "Say it's not OVERhaulin'" on social media. Too bad, as the portion of good was much greater than the drama of their lame jokes. I still watch FantomWorks some, and Bitchin' Rides, but couldn't take the "More Bitchin' Rides" where they re-did the shows with off takes and silliness to fill time. Not good. If Dallas Car Sharks is supposed to be a snapshot of the locals then I'll stay home in Kansas....Quote:

This isn't car related, but is a good low drama/silliness, show that I've been watching the last 2 seasons. Do any of you watch The Curse of Oak Island? I've been intrigued to see what these guys unearth. I also wathced Snake Island, which was only one season I believe. Those were/are some crazy son of a guns. I wouldn't be caught on there without an air raid of snake be gone dropped on that island for 6 months. :LOL:
Assmonkey .. That's funny. He loves to lowball people, but cries a river when it happens to him.
Yes to Oak Island.. couldn't stomach Snake Island! Couldn't believe GasMonkey made a second season!
I generally like Bitchin' Rides. Dave Kindig is in the same class as Chip Foose for talent, but Kevin Schiele, the shop manager, is just NOT funny.
Sounds like you need a cookie Jack..........
:D :D Coincidentally, I just had a Famous Amos chocolate cookie - and no, Kevin didn't give it to me.
