They tried that... I have spoken with a couple of the cast members on Facebook.. They are actually pretty cool people.. They initially tried to do the show with it being all about the cars.. turns out rating wise there arent enough of us out there willing to watch tv just for cars to make it worth it to the tv companies.. they had to add all the 'drama' and dumb **** in so enough people in general would tune it (this just strengthens my believe that reality tv is always 'reality'... they are actors for the most part as well) ... i personally like the show.. I realize its a tad bit cheezy... but its all about Mopar cars so it cant be all bad right? lol
