Default Latest old car reality shows

There is a new one now where they look for old cars by airplane with a car chaser on the ground in radio contact with the airplane. I watched one where by accident the airplane gets fuel leaking into the cockpit. Then by accident they land at a nearby private air strip they just happened to see where the owner has a building with a plane and just happens to have several old cars in it. They then proceed to buy two corvairs from the guy. I question the intelligence of the producers of this particular show that the viewers will believe this many series of coincidences could actually happen. I guess I'm getting reality show fatigue.

Or how about the latest "What' in the Barn" where the bike guy gets a cryptic hand written scrawled letter that says come to my shed with $80k cash by Friday and you can buy the "missing link" 1910 Excelsior twin motor bike? They drop everything, go to the shed in some distant state at night and don't meet the seller but leave the $80k in a cigar box. They also "get" some historical documents about Schwinn from the same era. Now really, how can someone be so dumb as to believe this cock and bull story?
