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?

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 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-

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".

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

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?
