The lead guy has an interesting persona but the show is quite lame and pointless. Arbitrary deadlines and they pick some of the worst cars imaginable to flip.

Oh, don't get me wrong... I watch the show regularly. It's entertaining, if nothing else and they do get some interesting "projects". For instance: I'm not a fan of spraying clear lacquer over the rusted paint which they seem to like to do, or fixing up a '59 Rambler wagon. But, they flip with minimum investment and there are folks out there who like that kind of stuff.
As far as the logos... c'mon now. A beautiful COPO with huge GasMonkey decals on the hood, trunk, and both quarters, PLUS Rawlings' name above the windows. Really?

I like the show, and I don't mind them hacking on a 69 lincoln town boat, but I wouldn't want them hacking an F-40, or a COPO camaro. Not cool. I haven't seen the episode where they hacked the F-40 but I have seen episodes where they messed cars up. I can't keep up with it.

Love the show; they are a great shop. Aaron is great for a mechanic for someone who never went to school for it.

I am not a fan of "reality" TV, but I do like this show. Can't stand the cheap builds and the clear over rust. That's why Casey is my fav on the show, cuz he will call RR out on this.
Am I the only one who actually likes it when RR gets "screwed" at auctions? But overall they do put out some nice cars. Makes it worth watching! |

Not a big fan of the larger cowl hood on the COPO and doesn't look like you get A/C or power steering either? As a side note, I still think Junkyard Wars was the best.

I thought the 56 Nomad they built for Dale Jr was nice.
They have made a few good cars but most of them were not worth the effort.

I was there yesterday, food is good. Bar IMO sucked because I am a picky beer drinker and only drink Modelo and Lone Star which they don't carry :(

They usually don't like to touch anything that is fairly new especially brand new. I wouldn't bid on that Camaro even if i had the money just so i could over pay something with their hideous decals all over it. YUCK!
