I seldom watch tv is this the show that pretends to help guys get their cars going who have hit hurdles and need help but actually the show picks bucks up guys who dont need help but have home garages that trump some pros and just finished a show queen build?

I figured Badger made a typo.

I absolutely cannot believe that.

My understanding is that the show picks cars that are in need of help because the owner is unable to afford to have someone do it and they are unable to do the work themselves, have sat for many years, etc., etc. - ??
This particular car now is worth $125,000.00 "with a lot of work done after the show."
Am I the only one that thinks this fish stinks?

I think it's a great premise but likely these people flip these vehicles because if they can't afford to fix them they won't be able to keep them. But it's base entertainment and I also notice they usually have a double car garage minimum Phil

I generally like the show. I dislike Joe. He's too goofy. Now Heather Storm is a little thin for my tastes. But I do still have visions of her.

I enjoy the show. It's closer to real wrenching than anything else on TV. Plus, they build drivers.

i think Heather Storm is 5'-6". And maybe 56 pounds. Years old? I'm not buying it.

I saw that too...however she was doing sport/fitness wear modeling in 2004....

And this doesn't make sense-

"My dad brought home a red 1979 El Camino when I was just 8 and there were many rides in the back of that car."
“My first car was a hand me down from my aunt; a 1986 Pontiac Bonneville,” she explained

This does make sense to me-

After reading these two threads, I would never let the idiots from GS near my car.

Teflon tape on fittings. Sucked into needle, seat. I broke fitting loose to take top of carb off. Line was pressurized, sprayed gas everywhere, went up in flames instantly. I did not use the Teflon tape. Was my "helpers".

Lesson learned: never take apart a fuel system unless the engine is cold, or unless proper precautions are taken......I don't see how this is the fault of the GS folks. But that's just me.

I guess in this case they got what wasnt paid for...thought provoking.

As far as teflon tape goes a heck of a lot of people misuse it not understanding what its purpose is.
