Watched it once, and done. It's one of the worst on TV.

My wife wanted to puke when she heard that creepy guy say "Hello Gorgeous". I want to puke when he says " the American Prospector is on the prowl" or in some episodes he places an ace of spades under the wiper blade. Sheesh, beyond cornball! That show shouldn't even be on one of those public access channels lol.

Beat me to it with the "Hello Gorgeous" nausea. Rolling up to anyone with a Vette (or insert other vehicle) in their open garage with a camera crew isn't pre-staged right?

Just like the episode with the husband and wife "fight" staged when he bought both (Porches?) and she b!tched and complained, then at the end stuck her head out upstairs window with a big smirk on her face, in a bad attempt at hiding her "You're a Sucker!" smile.

The gaga over the Grande episode...yuk!

I've watched too many episodes in the past in the hope the ACP show would improve...waste of time.
CCC seems to be the most real of the the scripted automotive shows presently broadcast IMO.

P.S. as mentioned the ACP "barn find" car tracks in the snow into the garage was over the top.

I think it's funny how these "reality shows" have the host(s) "finding" a place or making a new contact but when they knock on the door and it opens, we the audience are looking at the host(s) from behind the person answering the door/inside the house.

Like any of this could ever happen anyway without a stack of legal papers and releases being signed first. I can just imagine how far ahead these "spontaneous" episodes are created for the shows. Probably months at least.

Spike to off most of the good shows to put more football on so it's about the only car (half ass show ) show on the air waves . So you have almost nothing else to watch if you want to watch car programs. If thats what you want to call this show. It's more about him not the cars. He reminds me of a child molester they always catch on those hidden camera shows.

I also think the prices for these POS are unrealistic !!!
I'm thinking about selling my 60 and probably couldn't get what Danny(aka-The Count)pays for some of the incomplete hulks he drags back to his shop..
Having said that I think Danny is entertaining...
My biggest bitch is they are mostly repeats all year long..

Grave yard cars , I would take about 5 min.'s of that fool talking to me the way he talks to those guys & pow I deck him. He may know a bunch about the cars but he's an ASS.

That show would work for me if they just stuck to the technical stuff, how it was done, how they are reproducing the techniques, where they get the parts, the production numbers of the cars and how you decode them etc.. Unfortunately they let him talk like a 10 y.o. girl who doesn't get enough attention.
