    What do you guys think about the new Discovery channel show American Hot Rod?

     



    i think that it is pretty cool. if you do a chopper show you have to have a Hot Rod show to compiment it. and who better to do it and show it how it's done than Boyd Codington. i think the show is pretty good. you don't have the the fighting and the bickering that you have when you watch american chopper. although it's funny. it is not nessary to make a good show.

    this show is one of the the better one's that the discovery channel has came up with. what do you think?

    Not bad, some good info. What I would like to see is a show featuring real hot rodders building real cars that they actually drive themselves when they are done. Like Streets so eloquently stated, most of it is a Boyd Coddington infomercial.

    I enjoy it.........but the commercials....ugh! they could slow down a bit and show technique more but thats the way I feel about all the Chopper shows too, but at least the Car shows don't have all the arrogance displays that the bike shows do, no matter what they are all talented.

    I like it I find its a good way to relaxe and watch someone else build a hot rod after your done working on your own for the night
    I seem to find those kind of hot rod shows give me some good ideas and get my brain really in gear after watching one it gets me all stoked up to go work on mine for another day I really enjoy them and wish there were more but I do wish they would show you more tekneake on how to do things that would make a really good hot rod show

    P.S. has any one seen that show "ride with funkmaster flex" that show is one of the stupedest car shows I have ever seen theres nice cars but it dosent expain anything they just take a car usually a nice one to begin with and put a bunch of stupid stuff on it and give to a rap star they dont show you how any of its done one minute its there then its changed five minutes later ,But what you going to do
    CHEVY HOTROD IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO or FORD TUFF WITH CHEVY STUFF
    and I gess big ass 4X4 are ok to OK there sweet I like to drive one any time Im not in a hotrod ya its a good life up in B.C. lots of good strate strips of pavment and lots of forest and mud to playin
