If you want to see an AWESOME show about the hot rod/muscle car hobby check out "Roadkill" on YouTube, no drama BS at all just two super cool and funny dudes doing crazy stuff with old cars.
BINGO. Even their weak episodes are 10 times more entertaining then any of the network shows. No fake drama and no manufactured stupid jokes (everybody else and Top Gear's last 10 seasons, respectively).
Honestly, I'd like to 'like' Graveyard Carz without the drama (Mark does occasionally bring some good Mopar techbabble to the airwaves, I'll admit that), but watching restorations just feels like work to me; it's not entertaining. I'd rather put the time into doing the same things on my cars and be a lot more pleased (or pissed, depending on how things go!) at the end of the day.

P.S.: Ironically enough, South Beach Classics is the only show I've seen that has successfully kicked the fake negative drama B.S. for their second season. I reserve comment about the quality of the stuff on the lot and the other comments circulating around said dealer, but the format change did improve what was previously an unwatchable show.
