I agree with Heath. The craftsmanship and skill designing and building collector cars and trucks is enough. Fake drama and time issues detract and diminish those shows to the point they become unwatchable.

That worked a few years ago. Now every single channel is going to have their own streaming service. I got rid of DirectTV but now if I want to watch Formula 1 its $80 for the year and MotoGP is $165 for the year. That's on top of Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, Hulu, and who knows what else my wife is subscribed to. So Cutting the cord was a great idea 5 years ago but it's about to turn into the exact same thing as cable tv. Only instead of paying one person you have 15 different bills every month for streaming services. Pretty soon we will have them getting together and making "streaming packages" that combine multiple streaming services. We will be right back to cable TV but over ip instead of coax with set top boxes.

Also if you could feed your family for less than $200 a month you have a small family (2 people no kids) or your entire family is horribly malnourished. My family of 5 spends close to $200 a week on groceries and that is bargain hunting and using coupons.

I think most of us have no idea the amount of pressure, and stress a production crew puts on a real life business. VRR is one example, another is Fantomworks.

Wasn’t this the show where he found an old guy in the Desert with a really valuable old Las Vegas Sign and paid peanuts for it and selling it for a fortune thinking he was so clever. The old guy looked like he didn’t have much to live on. Stopped watching it after that.

This was aired in England but was called sin city motors, loved it
