Graveyard Carz

[TUFCAT]

Here's a great survey question for the game show "Family Fued"  

Now introducing the "Velocity Family" and the "Graveyard CarZ" Familes.   The top six answers are on the board.  Here's the question.

"WE ASKED 100 MOPAR GUYS ON DODGECHARGER.COM THE FOLLOWING:

If the current format of Graveyard CarZ was only about FORD would you watch it?

#1 answer....NO WAY (31%)
#2 answer....MAYBE  (23%)
#3 answer....MOST LIKELY NOT (21%)
#4 answer... HELL NO! (13%)
#5 answer....NEVER HEARD OF IT (7%)
#6 answer....I LOVE IT AND MARK'S A GENIUS (5%)

"Graveyard CarZ Family" rang in first. The board reveals the #6 answer: I LOVE IT MARKS A GENIUS 5%. The audience groans.

The "Velocity Family" now has a chance to gain control and they answer "NO WAY".  The audience cheers.

Survey says.....

"Velocity Family" had the #1 answer!

"Velocity Family" you're in control....  Do you want to play or pass?

I just finally watched the latest episode, sat there stuffing my kids' Easter eggs while watching it.
Stuffing the Easter eggs sure was fun.

did you put tpys inside the eggs also? my wife does the eggs up for the grandkids and has some with candy and some with toys. she spoils those monsters.

Some candy (jelly beans, chocolate eggs, etc), & others we put money in.
Thought it offered much more variety than 3 people trying to figure out how to install brake/fuel lines.

"...the customer that owns those incorrect wheels for the Daytona must love seeing them being impacted on and off the Cuda."
That blew me away as well.

I have been biting my tong on this show, but your point is so true, hell these wheels go bad from not evan using an impact gun   

If most of us watch the show ''at times'' and we only watch it for the mopars. Then why would a Ford or GM guy watch it 

His show could be a huge hit, if most the school girl BS '' no offence gals'' was left on the cutting room floor.

That blew me away as well.   Shocked


Glad I could keep the masses entertained!!!!!!!!

I had fun stuffing eggs as well.  Best thing was, it really wasn't all that expensive to fill 100 eggs and the kids had a blast.  Even better, they want to do it again next year.

Anyone watch a History channel show......American Restorations?

Not about cars at all. Most often restoring Coke machines, bicycles. etc. But Rick seems to know a lot about the history of what they do, the crew actually works, and a lot of the "how to" is shown. Disassemble, sand blast, paint. Very little fake drama. One of the few shows I watch.

So it IS possible to do a restoration show right. Would love to see cars done this way.

I like that show American Restorations too, his prices are high to me but I like the overall show concept...

[nvrbdn]

exactly, great show with some really neat restorations. just  priced high.

[thedodgeboys]

Anyone watch American Pickers?

Some of the stuff they find is pretty interesting and they explain what it is.
It's mostly drama free and flows pretty good, maybe Mark should talk to them.

[TUFCAT]

I'm still waiting for that Family Feud Question dammit!

[BigBlockSam]

i've been trying to get into graveyard carz , cause i luv mopars but man they talk a lot and show very little of the work .  who cares about a crappy birthday party or all the stupid banter . .  i find my self fast forwarding through 3/4 of the show . not good   

[BigBlockSam]

i dig American pickers

I'm drawn to car building shows where the characters are essentially decent people and there is no character assasination - Wheeler Dealers, Fast & Loud, Counting Cars...heck, even Desert Car Kings is alright.  What are some others?

[bill440rt]

One of my favorite car build shows was/is Overhaulin'.
Whether you like Chip Foose or not, the show was almost constant car build stuff. Very little drama, aside from the "gag" in stealing the car. And the premise is great: Make someone's dream car come true, for not everyone has the means to do so.

[projectanimal]

Tonight's show may have been one of their best!!  All Cuda with lots of work!    look forward to seeing them deliver this one!
Also great to see the Daytona sitting behind it ready to be worked on next! 

Also love Overhaulin!  Glad they brought it back!

Bill, I agree. Overhaulin is my all time favorite car show. I do not always agree with some of Foose's paint jobs. But it is still a great show.    And Chris Jacobs is a hottie .  . And a great guy in person too.

You're killing me.  I said I wasn't going to watch another shitty episode of Graveyard Garz - EVER AGAIN!

But, if this is a really good episode like you say it is....then it won't kill me right?  

You've already got me fished in so I'm going to watch it. This better be a DAMN good season finale that blows away all the shitty episodes we've endured over the last two seasons.

My open mind starts right now.  

[Moparman01]

Yes yes yes!!!  This show was by far their best ever! A ton of actual work on the Phantasm Cuda, and the part documenting that green 6 Pack 69 1/2 Superbee was great too!! Finally some good, usefull, worthy info for a change, that's  how every episode should be! If they keep the formula from this weeks episode, GYC should be a big hit. Only thing I don't get was the "cliff hanger" ending, is the season finale a 2 parter and they are gonna finish up next week, or is it done and we just have to wait? (Not gonna throw out any more spoilers or details for those who haven't seen it yet)

[ACUDANUT]

Someone send a copy on a DVD

[moparstuart]

fantastic show last night , and cant wait to see the cast and director from phantasm on next season 

[RJS]

Last night was their best show yet.  Mark is still struggling with proper procedures though.
Why would you put exhaust manifolds on after putting the engine in from the bottom?

He was saying the 691/2 Bee was Super Track Pack but not exactly true, he should be saying all 691/2 cars came standard with a 4.10 Dana 60.
Hope the show continues this dirrection with less of his bragging and more work...

New Overhaulin shows are starting at the end of April, hopfully we might see a Charger.

[RJS]

I feel the Fast and Loud is by far the most entertaining with no fighting or one upping.
Car's burnouts and building.
