    the only entertaining thing about the show is the asian uposltry lady cuz she just talks mad shit on the guys at the garage. And with her accent makes it 10x better. "Gauss Munke mo ike Ass munke"
    "I wanna see da boat movie"
    "I got a tree on my house"

      I really like the show though. The personalities are what keep me coming back.

        I watched about 5 min of F&L and wanted to throw up. Total crap. They build crap, they sell it for top dollar. There is no room in the world for half assed, especially on TV. If you aren't going to do it right, don't do it. These guys don't just settle for medeocracy, they preach it.

        Fast and Loud? How about Crap and Junk? A total waste of brain cells.

        Top Gear UK Hell yes! Top Gear USA? Keep trying. I will say it was pretty awesome when they tried to fly the Ford Mustang off the cliff with a Hangglider attached to the roof. Dumb idea, but awesome to watch.

            I watch it. I like it except for the fact that on every single build they do they run out of time like you all said ^^^ It's on purpose, gotta keep the viewers on their toes!!!

                they just don't allot enough time to the project in the first place. To them, they finish just in time.

                I hear what you're saying about WCC, I do see that every once in a while But it's not like they buy an old lincoln, chop the springs, wax it, and then go out and sell it like they restored it...WCC just puts together custom interiors (with varying degrees of gaudiness) and slaps wheels that are too big on their projects. Personally, I think it's rather irresponsible of Gas Monkey to sell their projects if they haven't gone over/replaced EVERY little detail on it

                but i tend to have high standards for shops, especially if they get a fkin tv show

                  They could have just edited out all the parts where they replace bushings and what not. Hard to imagine the target audience they want willing to watch them replace bushings. People wanna see engines and suspension for the most part.

                  I like powerblock for technical stuff. I don't know how proper they do their stuff but to me it looks like they do stuff the right way. Otherwise shows like FNL are for entertainment purposes only.

                      It's not about them showing a whole part about replacing bushings, calipers/rotors/pads rather, if they even mentioned that they went over the whole car and actually made sure it was safe and stuff i wouldn't be half as disgusted with the show as I am but the often just shine up the car and move it. Good business model, bad car guys

                          I like the show, got it set up on the DVR. Pretty interesting although they do half ass some things a lot. The upholstery lady is hilarious. But what's the deal with taking everything to auction at no reserve and losing all kinds of money?! They've taken a few big hits doing that.

                          Counting Cars is alright, they do something interesting stuff.

                          Wheeler Dealers is the shit; their over-the-top laying-it-on-thick personalities get kind of old though. But I really appreciate all the enthusiast cars they do.

                          TGUK is the bee's knees. TGUS can suck a left nut, I quit watching it a while ago though.

                              there stuff insnt really half assed. plus i doubt you guys could do these things they do in the time they do it in. what they do is custom, and thats what the hot rod world is like.

                              another good show is texas car wars.

                              i love counting cars. that guy is crazy tho. plus it all stemed from pawn stars.

                                if I had a shop I sure could do it. In the time they do it in? maybe not, I would give myself at least 2 weeks to flip a car. I would also not put it at the auction with no reserve.
