Ok, it is fake, but this was the only show where I saw any of the car guys have to cut down trees to protect the junk cars from being enveloped in an avalanche of trees. I kind of expected one of them to cut off a leg or arm with a chainsaw. I enjoyed it despite the shenanigans.

It's the same guy that made the news a few years ago looking to sell his property and all the cars for something like 3.5 million. He has a lot of good stuff, but I heard that he doesn't like to part out his stuff. 'Oh, you want that steering wheel? Buy the whole car then'. I liked the show, but it quickly deteriorates to stupid antics and bs plots like so many of the automotive based shows today. Yup! That was the routine I got a few years back. I was pointed their way as he had a bunch of humpster Javelins at one point and I was restoring mine. I want a hood, some trim, etc. You know, willing to spend some money and had a small pickup (1/2 ton GM stepside) that I could haul with. But I had no trailer and you certainly couldn't tow with a 1/2 ton, 3-speed truck. Nope. No parts. Buy the whole car. He wouldn't deliver and I had no way to tow. AND RIDICULOUS prices for absolute garbage. I paid $2500 for a running, driving '73 Javelin. He wanted at that time, 3k for a rusty crock with no keys, papers or wheels. Guess we can't do business and then I got hung up on. Definitely didn't leave me with a very good impression.

I wish mike well, he is a genuine guy and pretty much what you see is what you get.............. That's the impression I got. The Guy has a big heart and that's reading through the tv bs.  I wish him well also and will keep watching. Much respect for his successful business and dumping his money into Hot Rods. The day is here that no one will buy Plymouth Prowlers, Vipers, SRT's, Miatas, Mustangs, GT500's, 350z's and all of it will just wind up at a crusher. While we are on the subject, check out "Fastest Car" on Netflix. If Dooshbaggy, slicked back soap-opera car shows is more your style; skip it.

I binged it last weekend in the garage while working on my Satellite. I enjoyed the scenery, it looks like a beautiful place to live. I don't take anything I see on TV too seriously. It's all just entertainment, even the news (no matter the network). Agree The cars and scenery in the background are great.
