I was an automotive channel binge watcher for years, loving old vehicles, driving them, fixing them up. But I have stopped watching the shows that were on due to several factors. First, taking an old car apart and pouring endless amounts of money that most of us don't have to turn it into nothing reminiscent of its original state. Essentially a brand new vehicle now with a hundred grand in it. The best part of having an old vehicle is all of it, the feel of it, the smell of it, the way it handles and sounds, otherwise just go buy a new car!! My lifelong search was for original survivors that have not been destroyed by wealthy bored people who didn't ever appreciate the original vehicles. I also got really tired of the ridiculous shows that spent more time filming people doing everything but actually working on a car. I like Derek, his sense of humor, not afraid to get dirty, doesn't have a perfect $100k show car at the end. I will be watching this in hopes it doesn't go the way the rest of them do when they are a popular show.
