Graveyard Carz

[ACUDANUT]

I'd tell Buzzard Beak (Mark) to F_ _ _ Off if he treated me that way too.

[Charger-Bodie]

The part I disliked most was Mark coming up with all sort of creative names for Josh, just downright rude.  If my boss did that I'd tell him to take the job and shove it.  If my father-in-law did this we would be 'estranged'!  Combined, it's all the worse.

Yep,The belittleing is what I dont like too. He has the opperatunty to showcase his staff,his facility and his own knowledge. Instead he acts like a 2 year old.


"Flame on" I know..... Just his style of humor.....blah..............blah..................blah.

Believe it or not, I agree with you to a point that it does get a little old after a while, but I live with it.  Also know this though, Mark and I had a lengthy discussion about this after teh 3rd episode and as I mentioned once before he realizes that it can come across the wrong way.  He means for it to come across as sarcastic as his humor is but he gets that it may not be taken as that.

Oddly enough, I pulled a similar phone prank on a friend and kept setting up an appointment to get an electrical estimate from him, but always cancelled at the last minute.  I kept it going for 3 months!

I guess I would offer this, take it as a compliment that he listens to the input and wants to develop the show into something that you guys would appreciate.  Alot of people developing a show might say "F@#*k ya" but he's not like that.  I think last night you guys saw that he does have a humble side.  Oh well, thats my

Completely agree, 100%.
There's NO way I would work in an environment being treated like that, much less by a father-in-law. Perhaps Josh is MUCH smarter than he is portrayed to be. 
Yes, his "sarcastic humor" is definitely coming across the wrong way. It looks like immature, incompetent children on screen.
For his sake I hope that it's just hamming it up for the cameras. I really like the content, but the presentation could use some tweaking.

I really liked Wrecks to Riches, which apparently ran two seasons and vanished.  Barry White's work was awesome, they actually showed them working on the cars and there was a reasonable amount of "TV nonsense" involved.  I love Mopars and I am watching Graveyard Carz, but for crying out loud Mark (he has been on this thread) can you guys actually work on the cars?  It is turning into a bad ripoff of The Three Stooges set in an autobody shop.

Without Josh the show was literally unwatchable.  With him?  I will keep trying...but if Wrecks to Riches was still on I would pass.  I also tried All Girls Garage, but that was just basically a joke.

The story about the Cuda was a step back in the right direction.  You make a big deal about the history of the cars, but then often ignore it completely.

  I loved it when Royal an deron were riding around in the cuda convert ( like they were driving it )  ,  and then they cut to full screen shot they were on the back of the Roll back

Humor is subjective.  Unravelling the mystery of how a rare muscle car ended up wrecked, rusted, or left for dead is pure genius.

The initail hype of Graveyard Carz was the backstory (tracing back the history of cars demise by retelling owner accounts) with Mark "leading" his guys in the shop to complete a factory correct reincarnation of the car when new.

This storyline only lasted a few episodes.  Instead of shop segments that highlight the details and challenges involved to create the perfect car, we get more and more segments with unecessary goofs, pranks, blunders, personal attacks, and insults.  

I don't think it can be called "Graveyard Carz" without learning about the cars past, and how it got into the graveyard in the first place!  Do you recall the "every car has a story" opening line?  

Here's a question... If the current format of Graveyard cars was about Fords would you still watch it?

im enjoying it , just enough tv crap most of the time and the car stuff is great.  Id love to work there with mark, im sure its not as crazy as it looks.   Too bad im on the east coast.  Id like to hear more about the restorations process and things that take these cars to the next level.  we all see, know and have heard many times the basics, its the stuff you can learn from guys that have done it for years that makes a car better then average.   ill keep looking forward to the bits and pieces that you can get from the show.

I agree 100%    If you focus on the things you learn it makes the 40 min of your life spent watching the show worth it.  I start out with the intent to watch the whole show every week.  Once I reach my limit of TV drama I hit the FF button and only stop if I see a car/part in the frame.  It works pretty good that way.  The cars are freakin awesome and I love the back stories.

If they would stick to the original format of the show. Shelby 's Super Coupe"  would have been perfect ."  Just because of the back story of the car. Plus all the original owners paper work is in the car. " every car has a story " . They need to stick to that.       Plenty of Mopars out there with great stories.

Last nights episode sucked,except for the vert cuda owners and story.To much chit chat,2 minutes installing a radiator and header panel.Deren is def smarter,WTF!!!! wasting time with that fender,come on,really !!!!
Also,from last week with the red cuda having a wavy driv quarter that should not have been painted,anyone catch  the view thru the plastic curtain,geuss the pass 1/4 was screwed up to,you can see a big section primed over the new red paint on that panel as well,geuss alittle premature to go to paint huh ?
I hope this was just a bloop,and they keep  on track for the quality of  cars  and not the spotlight .Would'nt want to see mishaps like that on a Daytona.

[darkside]

I like the mopar stuff but the drama is getting out of hand.I record the show now and fast forward through the bs to the car stuff.

The last episode had about 3 minutes worth of worthwhile content. 

Thank goodness for the fast forward button.

Is it possible to unfollow a thread?  I see no need anymore of keeping an eye on this one and the daytona thread, as they have both turned into the same thing

Sure, just don't look at one or the other...... I don't think the threads are empowered by the Borg..  ( resistance is futile ).....  

[Chargen69]

ok, yeah I can do that, just wanted to know if there was an actual way to unfollow something so i didnt have to keep clicking on "mark all posts as read"
