Tex Mex Motors

I've watched plenty of car resto shows in my time and although I love the location, the 'characters' are just far too irritating especially Scooter. I had to fast forward through the majority of the season just to avoid having to see or hear him! He ruins the show in my opinion. The cars are poorly restored besides new paint jobs not much is done. Interiors are barely touched. Maybe I'm expecting a bit more class and cars that look professionally restored not cars that appear to have been done in someone's backyard. If it's wasn't for some of the gorgeous cars I would have stopped at episode 1.

I started watching the series, my husband watches other car shows, however, those cars are made for specific people so there is no need to try and sell. After watching the episode of the Dr., where the price of the bronco went up, didn't set well with me! He is a true car sales person, need I say more? I lost interest in the show because of this, along with his side kick who was too goofy. I do however enjoy the others in the shop and loved how the cars were restored. It amazed me to see this. I really enjoy the woman who knows her stuff. As a woman pastor, my hat goes off to her because her skill has been recognized!

And nowhere near enough of the mechanical renovation and bodywork detail. It's a complete rehash of Fast n' Loud which went off the rails for exactly the same reason with the big loud mouthed front man. Unsurprisingly, Mike ( the paint guy ) is in this as well. The "Rabbit" dude is one seriously annoying individual and you can see why the morons lap up his nonsense on YouTube. All the "padding" in the show detracts from what is is supposed to be about, car restoration ! Made it through three episodes until I expired through boredom. Which is a shame, because there are some good car people in this, who are completely overshadowed by the talking heads.

The first episode for me was a little weak. It was still finding its footing and judging by the reviews, most people agree with me on that. I almost gave up on it but something in me decided to try one more episode. And then another. And before I knew it I watched the whole first season.

First of all, it's very staged, I wish they would do without the fake dramatics. They're not necessary, the amount of restoration they do to these cars is worth watching in and of itself. Like others have said, I wish they showed a little more about the automotive side, however they do show more than some shows have.

I like the characters. The first episode they were definitely still figuring things out but you can tell the bond deepened as the show went on and everyone got more comfortable on camera, so it was a better product the farther along it got. I'd imagine a season two taking into consideration all the good feedback on here could be a ton better.

I've watched other very obviously fake car shows on Netflix, but none so obviously fake as this. It's a shame as the show doesn't need the silly dramatisations.

People watched pimp my ride to see the car transform (as ridiculous and often dangerous and pointless as those transformations were). I don't know why these shows can't do the same format as pimp my ride but with the actual talent that these people obviously have.

The transformations look great, and though I know nothing about cars the general consensus seems to be that these guys actually know what they're doing. Such a shame they aren't just showcasing that talent in a real way without the bad acting and dumb setups.
