You guys ever wach graveyard carz?I thinks its really cool.I wish that Mark guy was my nieghbor. I bet he could show me some pointers on my old Mopars.  ;)

Funny thing about that show, I never see him using any of the old shade tree tricks that I grew up using, such as using a broom stick to check for knocks, stuck lifters, starting the car by crossing the solanoid with a srew driver, etc.

He is a member here. Either people love him or hate him. I like the guy. I totally understand his sense of humor. I laughed out loud 3 times during this past episode. If you serch the show on this site, you will find a long long post about him and his good or bad side. It is what it is. AND, it is the ONLY show anywhere on tv about Mopar's only.

The bickering gets tiresome and seems to be the theme of every reality show. If it wasn't for the FF button on my remote I couldn't watch any of them.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

I watched the show only once....

the commercials were more entertaining and informative than his show was....

was assured by "the producer" on another site that they have axed the so called "funny crap" which frankly WASN'T.
but haven't seen any of the "new "episodes to see if that is a fact or not  :rofl:

"please enough with the pranks/BS, it makes it seem that the show is being run by high school kids . maybe its a regional thing (I'm in Australia) but any "boss " that did half the crap that I saw before I stopped watching half way through season 2 would be found in the back ally with a plank around his head ( its just not funny, I'd call it demeaning !!) . fox actually stopped showing it over here, haven't seen 3, 4 ,5 seasons advertised. people stopped watching, might give it another go but ......:popcorn:"





"Yeah, the show now is completely different than Season 1 and 2, tonally and content wise. Cars are put in the foreground and the drama is so far in the background it's hard to notice.

Hope Season 5 and 6 gets your way so you can give it another shot"

I caught one episode dated 2016 - it was significantly improved in my opinion. I enjoyed it.

The corny over played humor is not as noticeable anymore, but they do go a bit overboard once in a while. And yes, things are more MOPAR based now.

Someone please show him the 50 page thread of his gong show here.

I'll watch anything if there's a Mopar in it, no matter how bad. Dukes, Blade, F&F. Bad programming hasn't stopped me yet.

I agree, I have sat through many bad B movies to see the Mopar :shruggy:  I think Mark's ex son in law had a fling with the ex office girl.  They were pretty chumy, then all off the sudden his attractive daughter is single, and those two are gone :popcrn: 
1969 Dodge Charger 500 440/727
1970 Challenger convertible 340/727
1970 Plymouth Duster FM3
1974 Dodge Dart /6/904
1983 Plymouth Scamp GT 2.2 Auto
1950 Dodge Pilot house pick up

I really enjoy the daughter on the show.  Not only for the candy aspect but her actual desire for working/learning about these cars.  Real or not(still TV) it makes the show much me appealing.  In a way it deflects from the annoying antics.  Those antics that poly referenced over on FBBO that the producer stated these were going away :shruggy:  What can you expect though Poly it was the same producer who thought he knew more about Mopars than the members there, lol

All and all and antics aside, I like the new format/lineup....as the season progress hopefully the ballerina antics subside and fizzle....

crj1968

The dude has a successful show for a reason; his personality.
I think he is pretty entertaining.


The Bitchin' Rides guys are good too.

Overhauling; boring, except that that they threw in some eye candy.

if you think im funny that means you must like graveyard cars..... :2thumbs:

cooldude

I like that Mark really knows stuff like production numbers, options, and so on. He really knows his stuff.

But I would kind of like to see some of the stuff revealed that only a few old Mopar heads know. Like the old school mechanics tricks that are completely lost to the new generation of mopar guys and mechanics who cant seem to begin to know how to fix a car without first plugging it into a diagnostic computer.

billssuperbird

I see mark is building a superbird clone for some one.

BrianShaughnessy

I enjoy watching the show on occassion.    Non mopar guys seem to believe his hype more than I do.   

It's much improved since he rolled out the original crew.   :Twocents:
Black Betty:  1969 Charger R/T - X9 440 six pack, TKO600 5 speed, 3.73 Dana 60.
Sinnamon:  1969 Charger R/T - T5 440, 727, 3.23 8 3/4 high school sweetheart.

great show brings back memories..guy knows his stuff

Too Much clowning around.  I'd like to see a car done from beginning to end in one show.

Moparman01

Last season was a HUGE improvement over the the prior years, and a lot of that was thanks to getting rid of Darren and Josh. They did the show absolutely no good! This new season has been ok so far, but kind of a step back from last year with too much goofing around again. For instance, this weeks new episode, Mark kept giving Will (the painter) all kinds of hassle while he was getting ready to spray the "phantom" 'Cuda in final paint/clear. All i kept thinking was "quit acting like a jack-ass and just let the guy paint the damn car already!!", i'd rather watch the paint process actually happen rather than Mark going over the car with a magnifying glass (literally!!) and making dumb movie references. I still faithfully watch the show since it is 100% Mopar, but it is frustrating from time to time.

 At the GYC series, they never act like professionals.  They, again should act like professional and do one car per show...like over hauling. If it takes 2 episodes to do this, so be it.  They have to have more than 3 employees there.

cooldude

I would really like the guys to do an episode or two on Mopar trucks. Maybe a Little Red Express truck?

Well, they are sorta working on the Power Wagon, but yeah, A little Red would be awesome!
