I really like "American Hot Rod". Sure, some of the bickering is staged or encouraged, but it's more accurate than any other show on tv. Charlie, Roy, and that bald young guy seem to be the only ones who know anything. Most of those other guys are just trying to look good on camera, and don't seem to have much pride in their work.

The thing that encourages me the most is seeing how the "pros" have problems with everything just like me. Several guys I know that have watched the show have a greater respect for what I am trying to accomplish. I can say that I have learned some things from the show.

American Chopper- Good entertainment value. I like the show, but I really haven't learned much about building anything. Mikey is hilarious, but the popularity seems to be going to Paulie's head.

Monster garage- Pretty good most of the time...depends on the project and the builders. What's with the shemale?


Two guys garage, Horse Power TV, Trucks- Everything fits perfect. Let's take a coffee break and talk about carwax. Thanks Pal!
