Your favorite Motor Trend TV mechanics show

[garagerog]

Thought this might be a fun topic to get some feedback on.  For me I really enjoy "Roadkill", yes it's a "reality tv show" and I'm sure they have a lot of staging and support but to me it more accurately depicts what your average Joe or shade tree mechanic might run into with their roadside repairs. "Garage Squad" is another one that's a little more realistic for your average Joe. I really enjoy all of the shows, but some of them just leave me a little depressed because I don't have a 2500 square feet shop with pristine floors and every machine tool at your disposal, e.g. they have machine presses to press out a bearing when the rest of us resort to a socket and a 6 lb. hand sledge and hope for the best. And when they're installing accessories or doing a brake or suspension upgrade for instance, it almost always seems they're working on a brand new rig without a spec of dust or grime on the underneath of the vehicle. Your thoughts?

Love me some Roadkill.  Close second is Dirt Every Day. I think the dirt every day guys represent me well as a driveway-on-my-back in the snow mechanic. They don't have every single tool known to man and they do stuff that a budget minded guy would do for cheap mods.

I like Garage Squad too...

And since I'm from Houston, I watch a lot of Texas Metal (if that counts) [emoji2379]

They never really built anything. Bolt ons and the biggest wheels you could fit on a car. Maybe a nice interior job.
That's about it.[emoji24]
