PIMP FOOL is a premadonna, chevy guy, I can see it in his paint jobs. Always the same camaro lines. If he ever stole my car, Id punch him out and sue him. Makes you wonder if the victim had no prior knowlege. Big Lawsuit if it wasnt staged. Just Sayin. You dont really believe that S#!ti do you? Impersonateing Lawinforcement is a Felony.

let's see...they do all the body work, wheels, tires, bumpers, every thing inside, suspension, sound system, motor and transmission...I can see where that could pi$$ a guy off...
if you don't like the color...you are just out for paint...

There's another show that I like a little better actually. I think it's called desert car kings or something like that. It's about a father and son who own a 100 acre junk yard in the desert. They take cars and do quick restorations and auction them off. I actually enjoy the show because the people in it seem like nice people. Plus I did see a maverick in the yard!

I saw 2 episodes of that last week. They do some pretty shoddy work, but it is entertaining. I like Wheeler Dealers and Graveyard Carz. The receptionist in Graveyard Carz is hoooooootttttt!

I agree, impersonation of law is a criminal offense. But, for those who have the ability, resources to rebuild/restore/restomod an old car, can be a little more PICKY/FUSSY. I do realize a lot of what u see on shows like "Overhaulin", is staged.
Some of the folks I have seen getting the car they've had collecting dust for years, if not decades, w/ little or no hope of ever getting back on the road -- Don't have the PICKY/FUSSY option. If YOU were in that category... The idea of getting ur dust collector back in operation, might not seem so hideous.
The way I see it... I cud overlook such things as color, not having 900hp, a killer 1Kw stero and a few other things to have a "no-cost-to-me" car I cud drive anytime/anywhere and turn a few heads in the process.

I saw the same Fast n Loud the other night (while trying to sleep). one of those shows that always keeps me awake cause I have to know how it turns out. What other good classic car shows are out there? I never see any now, could be due to the lack of searching though.
