Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
Saw it on the DVR, episode from last night....
Stopped to look at a Satellite/Road Runner parked right next to a bagged patina'd 63 GMC. No mention of the truck at all... what a bummer... Does that truck belong to anyone here? Vegas area. |

I saw it too.
I used to like the show 'cause I dig anything with cars in it but they show buying them and then the finished car, nothing in between but antics. |

That's funny that you picked that up as well - the wife even caught it - she's slowly coming over to my dark side

And I totally agree about the lack of build details/footage. I thought that was very strange after watching the first episode. Honestly, I don't expect the show to last too long. These new "reality" shows keep popping up after one interesting personality is featured on a different "reality" show. In one instance where I'm glad this happened is American Restoration.

The American Restoration family (The Dale's) are from my home town and I was in the same grade as Ron. They are a great family. Their dad is one of the nicest people you will ever meet but he doesn't want to be on the show. They make Ron out to be a clown but he was a kicker for USC and one heck of an all around athlete. When I was a kid I didn't know Rick but he drove a primered 65 GTO so he was our hero. We were like Beavis and Butthead and that guy with the Nova that they worshipped. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
I saw it too. I was kind of surprised when the car couldn't be baught, they didn't try for the truck. The pro street chevelle on a few episodes back they found was bad ass too!

Re: Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
One of the coolest rides they've shown was the Ford roadster he chased down and bought, it had either a 348 or a 409 in it but we never saw the car again.

Re: Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
I stopped watching that show after they botched a cherry 67' GTO, I have too much love for GTO's to watch that show again.

Re: Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I'm not trying to start an argument or anything. I'm just more of a tradionalist when it comes to cars.

Re: Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
in my opinion all of these shows like fast n loud and counting cars...ect are all bs anyways, backed by high dollar producers and station branding. its all fake . and pretty much for ratings. no love goes into anything on these shows. its all for the almighty dollar and that's it. wether its a resto mod or a classic restoration its all about the money. if they cant make a profit ...they aren't gonna cover it. half these shows do shotty work anyways imo. anyone can buy a classic ride ...drop it on bags ...give it some mediocre body work and fancy paint ...and itll sale. sad thing ...on these shows these cars they "fix up" sell for good money....but in reality they are not nut and bolt resto nor a quality rat resto.... that's what they wanna force down the publics neck. not the fact that a shop buys a vehicle puts love in it the way it should be ..and they keep the vehicle. its really no different than American chopper and the 1000 shows that spawned off that terrible series. drama sells ...so does a polished turd no one really gives a crap about.
now don't get me wrong ....if I actually sit down to catch some tube time ...I might end up watching these shows only because A nothing else is on ....or B I wanna see what kind of work they do and they price they get for them. and half the time im really shocked at what they get for some of the stuff they do. idk ....sry for the rant ...these shows kind of drive me up the wall. only few cars shows on tv I actually enjoy watching anymore ...mecum is one and is great ...but nothing there but an auction ...but you see some REAL rides on there.... just my 2 cents |

Re: Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
Think GM should sponsor an old truck show where a different owner is chosen per episode and shows off their truck and some history behind the model/ year. Junkyard finds and how too's, but by not just only by professionals but backyard gearheads as well. There's so much untapped talent on this site to feed the show for years.

Re: Counting Cars... no love for the bagged 63 GMC
Over all the shows on TV I like the reruns of American Hot Rod, they went in to detail how something is made or built an how to do it. But even that show after time got into personalities and stuff that made my interest wain. They are after the ratings and is evident in most of them they produce. I like the personality Danny plays on counting cars but the show has no how to.'s They buy a vehicle and the next shot is when it's done. It's a vast waste land out there, it also waste's your time just my $1.98 cts...Vernski
