I gave up on it a LONG time ago (like....third episode?), but I wouldn't cancel my MT On Demand over it. There's other (better) shows on there to watch.

My feelings exactly I subscribe to Motortrend On Demand for many other shows, I have not watched Graveyard cars for a lot of years even though I really want to like it.

I was actually thinking it has gotten better. I thought Mark had tuned down his "comedy" quite a bit. I've never avoided watching because of him although I do think sometimes he goes too far. An all Mopar show is so rare and I'm not going to miss out on some nice cars and I still really enjoy seeing them and the work being done on them. IMO some other shows are far worse with their flat billed over the ears baseball caps and non stop b.s. and same old builds just different cars (Chebby, Chebby, Chebby, Phord, Chebby, Chebby, Chebby, Phord).

Could any of you guys work for MW without punching him out? Good thing he writes the paychecks or else there would be a mutiny. He's just a goofball with a unique sense of humor all for the camera. I've worked for people way more obnoxious than that with no sense of humor at all. I see it the same way. The guy likes to have fun. The latest episode, Mark quoted a dialog from a movie that I'll bet MOST people would never get. It was Alec Baldwin from Malice.

I don't complain about Mark's antics, no other make of car has a show dedicated to it. Exactly, which is why I watched all along (and honestly will continue to do so). I just have no interest in seeing the build of any other brand, truck, Camaro, Chevelle etc. I may watch a coupe episodes of some random show for a cool mustang but unfortunately I take the whole Mopar or No Car thing too far lol. Don't get wrong, I love all muscle cars, but I don't have enough interest in others platforms to watch shows dedicated to their restoations. I cherry pick various episodes on different shows which feature Mopars but that's really about it. Anywho, I love that we have a show like this, I just wish there was more tech stuff to it. Maybe its a case of having exhausted everything there is to elaborate on with respect to 64-71 Mopars and simply trying to find other ways to engage the audience (and if that is working for him then that is great). I noticed this in their random trivial questions during commercial breaks. It used to pertain to Mopar history and tech but now deals with older cars that were featured on their older shows. But after 14 seasons, I understand them wanting to introduce new types of material. And maybe I am being too picky here, but even this new format seems a little forced. Before, a build spanned over an entire season with various deeper tidbits into the restoration process. Now, entire restorations seem to be crammed into one episode (which could work sans all the jokes) as though they are satisfying a customer's expectations of having significant airtime. Something that was pitched to me when I approached Mark about restoring one of my cars. Again, not hating on the show or coming across as too critical (I hope) - I love what this show has done for us. I'm just hoping the show could ease off on the theatrics. It really has a ton of potential and I'd still ask him to restore a car of mine over anyone else. Regarding the stuff posted on youtube, I watch it religiously as I do favor the older shows

I have yet to meet a person who has met him in person that has said a negative thing about him or his family. Further, he and Alyssa are incredibly accommodating and very engaging. I have heard from multiple people that they are very kind and salt of the earth type. Members of my immediate family have been treated like first class when they stopped at GYC. Not a negative thing to say about MW or any of his family on that front. If I ever got to a point where I was finincially secure and did not need to work, I would seriously offer to intern there for free just to learn from the best.

Have any of you heard about the dildo episodes?
Apparently guys that work there and that were not on camera took an adult sex toy and placed it in v the background, on tool boxes and shelves. This appeared in numerous episodes.
You tube has a highlite reel of it appearing on TV.
I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

Again I don't understand so much criticism for him. YES, I could work for him, in fact it would be a dream! Working for a Mopar fanatic, with a Mopars only resto garage and a guy who obviously is a legitimate Mopar guy since he was a kid! And you can tell he's a sentimentalist by his frequent revisiting his childhood with pictures and returning and his friendships. So he gets goofy, big deal. He seems to have a heart, a since of humor and be a decent guy. In this screwed up world I'll take him over 95% or more of what I come across and again DREAM JOB working for him. He doesn't have to have tatts all over his neck and arms, spiked hair, stupid bball cap and other ridiculous clothing that's age inappropriate. I'd hang out with Mark and talk Mopars all day. Same for Fantomworks Dan Short but I'd take Mark first because of the Mopar connection. I think it's super easy to be a critic from the keyboard. They are trying to manage a business, pay bills, satisfy TV producers and handle all the stress with these and that's not easy.
