Supporting the local company!

The "reality" car shows are usually just too much BS put together quickly by a producer.

"restored" cars selling for high prices with no headliner installed.

An explaination of Turbocharging by the owner of the shop informing us that the turbo takes the spent exhaust gas and runs in back up to the exhaust to be used again. LOL

Chasing Classics is pretty good, but all the cars are out of my price range.

I'd love to see a series about home restorations, with the TV folks supplying all the parts and a couple of helpers.
