Graveyard Carz
Someone needs to do a pontiac show like this, with more car work and less fooling around. When they show working or talking about the cars, this is the best show.

Totally agree. I'm watching the marathon episodes now.
I was watching the episode where they were trying to find the time line of one of the cars and my wife came in and watched a little of it and said "why would it matter about the time line and who cares" I told her I would love to find the previous owners and talk to them. She had this blank look on her face and asked "really?" She got up and left when I asked her if she could do what Holley was doing. |

They certainly do nice work. I just can't stomach the owner (Mark?). And the manufactured drama kills it for me.

All of these so called "reality" shows are somewhat less than real.

Sounds like a spin-off of the Ass Monkey and the Count's show.
 And one of those each for both of them....

They should have shows that actually show the details of what they do to perfect their work. The show in this thread is just a waste. |

I must have missed this, and it sounds interesting. Is it on DirecTV, and if so, what channel?
Thanks. |

It's on the Velocity channel, about some shop that restores Mopars. I saw about 30 seconds of one episode and it appeared to be the same old fake drama as all the other shows.

If you can get past the big mouthed owner , you can learn a little about Mopars. He may know a lot of stuff but,,, If he talked to me once the way he does to those guys his fat little a$$ would be picking it up off the ground. He's rude & has no idea how to talk to anyone with any kind of respect. I would put up with about 1 min. of his mouth & POW he'd be down for the count. Yes I know it's for the show but I have a hard time watching the show lately without turning off the sound.

The drama is stupid, and theres a lot of it...
But the show itself is actually pretty technical. They know their stuff. Its fun hearing people throw around code names, and production numbers on tv. We only hear that stuff on forums or at shows.

I watched it hit and miss and honestly didn't learn anything car related from it so I never watch anymore.
Every time I tuned in it was a B & M drama session, might be 5 minutes of knowledge in there someplace but I seem to miss it every time.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
