Let's be honest, they are just like any other reality show........staged. They are just reality shows for car guys like us. I like monster garage the most. Boyd Coddington can build those in his sleep, his people are some of the best in the business and money never dries up.

Wish I had money to play like that... I'm sure if we (TOC) had that kind of money to spend on projects, we could come up with some pretty rank looking oldsmobiles!!! :-)

Its all in how much $$$ you can spend on it! We should start a new show starring ourselves. I'm sure you all wouldnt object to the idea if we had funding!!! :-)

its not on the discover channel, but anybody ever catch 'tuner transformation'? (think its on speed channel) sooo gay. its these 3 toolboxes that rice out cars, but nothing too crazy, just like wheels, nitrous and exhaust. i saw them putting vinyl graphics on a brand new RX8, terrible. and they always fight with each other over what to do on the car. at least its funny when they fight on american chopper.

yeah... the fighting is pretty much the whole reason I watch american chopper... The actual content of the show is 100% the same every time. I like some of the bikes they produce though...


Has anyone seen the Monster garage where they build an ambulance into a wheelie machine? It was sooo cool to see an ambulance doing bigass wheelies down the street!!!

like I said, all that fighting and bikering is all staged. I but Pual Sr. , Pauly, and Mikey get along famously and I bet the kids respect thier dad. It is all just a show.
