Re: Fast and Loud
I get a lot of people telling me that pickers would like to come here.I still really don't know what the show is about,as I've never seen it.Somebody was here looking at something I had for sale,he seemed to think I was one of the guys in one of those shows.I think he called it downeast dick something.He kept asking me if I was the guy in the show.I had never heard of it.

Pickers is ok, but I have to say that it looks pretty well staged. Like someone looks surprised when they knock on the door. Oh, never mind the other truck and all those guys with cameras and mikes. Yeah right. |

Re: Fast and Loud
I was in the tree business for many years, take downs, pruning, stump removal,,,,,,,,,. I watched this realty show on logging in the northwest, southeast,,. I would get so annoyed watching the made up drama when in reality a lot of the people doing that kind of work need no coaching for drama. I worked for a company cutting right of way before I started my own business doing residential work. You never knew who on Monday morning had slept with who's wife, who had had be arrested over the weekend, who had been knifed. Some of the guys were good people just trying to make a living but WOW!
My wife and daughter were watching honey boo boo and asked me to watch it with them, I was a little insulted but sat down planning on doing something on my iPad and was watching it before I knew it. In ten minutes I was hooked and I would laugh at anyone else who said the same BUT,,, that family couldn't be coached, or follow a script. The producers wanted it to be just all the other reality shows but it was like herding cats, couldn't be done. It was reality watching them try to make a reality show. The kids did have more freedom to make drama like making a mess in the house. They were catching farts and putting them in each other's faces and so on. The mom got the show cancelled when she started dating the guy again who had been in prison for molesting one of the girls. You seriously couldn't make the stuff up. I can't watch any of it now, as was stated ^^^^^^, I'd rather watch WWF and I could never watch that. I wouldn't let those picker guys on my place either. They seem like leaches. oh please let me have this for cheap so I can make dollars on it. They just seem like bums to me. I guess it works out for buyer and seller sometimes but I don't like someone pilfering through my things, trying to get it cheap. My things came to hard to give away, unless it's to help someone less fortunate. |

Re: Fast and Loud
I was reading about folks worrying about Pine needles on the cars in another post and wondered how they would take 9 10 Ton Pine Trees across the roof of their home and their 28 sport Coupe and 1940 ford......That is what took place at my home totaled home and no coverage on cars......

Re: Fast and Loud
I don't have cable so I do not watch the show (got tired of paying 80 per month to watch a commercial every five minutes) went to Netflix and Amazon and for the price couldn't be happier. It sickens me whenever I hear people destroying a nice restorable vehicle, but I understand why they do it, they are just following what has been done from the time these vehicles were almost new. Multiply what you see on TV by 1000 and that is what is happening in garages and shops all over the country, with many of the projects never completed just cut apart. I prefer mine original and the four As that I have are nice drivers, not fine point judging. I can admire some of the "HotRods " that I have seen, and realize that in most cases a nicely done one is worth way more than an original A, but it is not my cup of tea. With that being said if I ever run across a really beat up roadster or coupe, I have a '41 Flathead that is just waiting for a home to make an old school hot rod.

Re: Fast and Loud
I thînk it's more along the lines of,, pretty rough on shows we gave a chance by watching and they turned out to be a lie, not reality.
Reality is like one morning I'm watching the today show and Al Roker asks a lady in her home during a live interview when she's due, she wasn't pregnant! |

That's the problem with this car thing... everyone wants to buy the car for peanuts & crush it because it's worth more as flattened mush. Not enough enthusiasts and too many cars, apparently. And there's not as many cars as you'd think. Not by 1/10th. Yes. But nobody would watch it.

Re: Fast and Loud
I think Fantom Works is the best overall of the car shows. No silly made up drama and they work on all kinds of vehicles. Looks to me like they do good work and sometimes even state the cost and time involved with the restoration/repair. Kendigit Design and Chasing Classic Cars are Okay. I especially like the mechanic (Tom ?) on Chasing Classic Cars. One car show
recently "rodded" (or crapped on as I call it) a nice older restored "A" pickup. When I saw that I immediately switched channels. Bob-A |

American Pickers is only good for the fact that you get to look in some back yards you can only drive by. After that it is all made up.
