Car Crazy

Have you seen any of the behind-the-scenes shows about hot rod car and bike builders on the TLC, Discovery, and Speed channels? I saw a couple of episodes with Boyd Coddington, and some with a couple of chopper builders.

It's really interesting to see the work and artistry that goes into those machines, but unfortunately there's very little actual work being shown. Each and every episode I've seen wastes most of the time showing juvenile bickering, drama-queen posturing, and petty office-politic backstabbing.

I can't stand that stuff in real life, and can't stand watching it on tv either. Those shows (and football) are best viewed with the audio muted.
