Ponchoman hit on something that bothered me with that show as well. If he is doing these auctions all over the US, why is the same 2 people always bidding? The one older guy and then the married couple. Are we supposed to be stupid enough to think these shill bidders aren't just trying there to drive the price up to make for engaging television? It is a neat concept to turn "wrecks to riches", but I wouldn't buy his crap after seeing him use rattle can paint on the chassis and metal work after paint as Drew pointed out. At least not for the price he is looking to get.
Overhaulin' is better, but as everyone mentioned, the pranks have worn out their welcome. Having a ditzy, hot chick puts it above W2R and I am a little more impressed with Foose.
