Runs Good

I caught wind of this series well into the second season and ended up binge watching all that I could in a short time. The show is inspiring for me because it's just a couple of Joe's, each with a certain knack in one department and/ or the other and together the three of these fellas usually end up with a pretty sweet banger in the end. I relate to their struggle and learn a lot while humorously experiencing the build. The dad jokes are top notch, just like their commitment to bringing the original owners dream to life. I own two base Preludes, with one being '99 auto , a parts car (daily driver) and the other an '01 5spd garage / track queen. My F150 FX4 is 307k and going strong. Watching Runs Good inspires me to give a wrench a go on all three rides of mine with a bit more knowledge and confidence along with some raw engine-nuity as the boys routinely display in the event of the inevitable crises that arise while working on discontinued vehicles and upgrading their performance.

Looking forward to many more seasons Motortrend!!!!

Drifter boy Aaron proves he talks smack in episode 1 and does not know how to drive. Episode 2 is a total waste. (except when Shea beats both non driver Aaron by a lot and Dan to get honors to detonate that poor Mini (by the way that re-used header plate in itself was a worse restrictor plate than having a restrictor plate on the intake stock header even with a good cat was probably just as good flow). SO I said, I'll try a third episode of painful viewing. I'm stopping when shop owner Shea with so called expert Aaron make an attempt to put on an offroad suspension. NOW anyone that has looked at a stock truck and certainly a modified suspension can look at a trailing arm setup and look at a really beefed up arm and an adjustable pipe based control arm and figure out which should be on the bottom to take hits from rocks, dirt. Which one did they decide to put on the bottom? The one that can easily be bent instead of the welded up very strong and beefy one. Please put down the tools boys.

This show has potential. I would really like to see a season 2. This is a Roadkill\Hot Rod Garage style show. In my opinion, it's a much better style than the highly scripted shows like Texas Metal etc.

Since at this time this is the only review of the show, I'm hoping it will be read by Motortrend and the stars of the show.

To the Boys, Dan dial it back just a little bit, Shea dial it up just a little bit, Aaron, you're the straight man, lean into it.

Motortrend please make a season 2 of the show. The guys are just hitting their stride, they definitely have the chemistry of a Roadkill Garage or Faster Finnegan. Shows like this are so much better than the ones that are clean and polished or you know the outcome of the episode. Please continue to make more stuff like this.
