    Chasing Classic Cars : Whackjob?

    Every episode it seems he loses money. Always amd constantly. His money or someone else's money. Gone.

    I can't imagine he stayed In business this long without some good dealing. It must be typical TV that throws in the drama for ratings.

          Wayne is just fine don't you worry. He has enough big dollar idiots to keep him well in the black.

              I know he has stayed in business for a reason. Just don't like how they only show the cars he loses on. Maybe as to not offend customers that he made xx,xxx dollars?

              I'll be in the area later. I bet his shop will be closed for the holiday, though.

                Auctions are interesting, you don't always lose when you sell under reserve. Also, he and his father have been in business for ages, he won't be closing his doors anytime soon. If you are there, and they are open, I wouldnt go asking this question. Just keep in mind, half to 100% of the shit you see on TV is staged or made up.

                  Ya, that is why I am starting to not like these shows much more. They add in this drama thinking it will be more attractive to the audience? I really am bothered by it. Sons of Gun, they need to throw in this drama... otherwise I think it is a smooth running crew with the TV drama for kicks. Hate it.

                  And are you sure I shouldn't ask this question about money? Typically that is the FIRST question I ask..... that and their weight, age... you know.. the usual.
