I find that show to be completely unwatchable.

Don't have cable, don't watch it. No loss from what I've read.

Its entertainment. Will appeal to some, not to some.

To me, it is an insult as it is passed off as being for real. The same as other Discovery shows, such as the one about mermaids and the one about megalodon.

Some of the other auto related shows have staged portions but for the most part are real. It would be pretty boring to just watch someone sanding, prepping a car, etc. Sort of like watching someone fishing.

The best thing on that show is when tuff enuff came on and laid the REAL smack down by doing real street race stuff packing up and taking the shows money. He said it and we all know it. its a joke, it's for entertainment and he wanted a part of it but burned the bridge and probably was a threat to them that he could steal the show.
