What are your best and worst shows on Motor Trend TV? Roadkill is my favorite and Two Guys Garage is my worst.

Love Roadkill and Roadkill Garage. Also a fan of Hot Rod Garage and Engine Masters. Don't really watch any of the others.

I like to watch Graveyard Cars, Junkyard Gold, Fantom Works (I know, I know), Wayne Carini, Restoration Garage, My Classic Car, and others.

Least favorites: Two Guys Garage, Bitchin Rides, and All Girls Garage.

TGG, That Willie B guy just annoys me. Plus that show is just about selling a product.

I like Graveyard Cars, but hardly ever see it on there.
Roadkill stuff is good.
Like some of the old Overhaulin shows
Garage Squad is pretty good
Phantom Works is ok.

Don't watch the guys from Canada - Restoration Garage?
Don't watch Wayne the car flipper.
Don't like the Gas Monkey guy either even though it's not on that channel.
Bitchin Rides has gotten boring due to the Pro Touring theme they keep doing over and over.

Yes. Combination of these two things!

Yes, I also will watch almost any Overhaulin'. I think Chip Foose is the real deal and kept the work to a high quality. I tolerate Chris so I can see the show.

Yeah, Wayne is a flipper I guess you could say, and I don't even love the cars he usually deals with, but he's so anti-drama I find it enjoyable.

I can't take the All Girls Garage because they act like giggly 13 year olds.

I watch graveyard carz and the roadkill shows. Watched faster with Finnegan on youtube.
Restoration garage hasn't had many new episodes in a while.
I like some of chasing classic cars but can't take some of the Amelia and other shows they focus on so much. Mostly a bunch of stuck up rich people showing off what they bought or paid someone to do.

I doubt he'd go back as he left to spend more time with his family, he has pretty much checked out of the motor trend shows, even roadkill he just shows up from the airport and barely participates or has any idea whats going on. He wont be there much longer I am guessing

I record some of them, and never watch them on first airing. Then I fast forward through most of them when the drama and or BS starts to get too heavy. Ends up most of them average about 10 minutes or less of viewable content wink laugh2

Haha very true. Same here.

I tried to watch Holden Brothers (I think that's the name). The two guys with their cute little matching shorts frown

I can't deal with it much, just once in awhile. You could play a drinking game to this one, every time one of them says "dude" and anybody would be hammered at the end.

Pretty much my list but I would add Iron Resurrection.

I used to watch Roadworthy Rescue but for some reason have not for a while.

Dereck raffling off $5000 junkers while making a quarter million in merch sales has me not watching anything from him anymore, for a supposed low buck guy he sure as heck is money hungry, wow

Other guys with small channels (in comparison) raffle away 8 second show cars. Dereck raffles junk duster with freebie seat covers, a used motor and canola oil wax job. Or a stock 80's Regal with Nascar paint scheme, garbage. The other guys every $5.00 spent on merch is one entry, with Dereck its every $20

You just like Amanda on Iron Resurrection grin I can't deal with "Shag"

I was watching Roadworthy Rescues too but have tapered off because the show has changed from getting something running out in a field to being in shops, having guests, installing crate engines, etc.

I got tired of him and the repetitiveness. And lately it seems like everything is putting big buck changes into junk.
I've gotten more interest in some of the other youtube guys who find interesting cars or old collections but don't go through the rest of the drama. But it only makes me wish I had the time and space and non rotted out old cars around here to do that sort of stuff too.
