    So many shows these days, not just Motorweek & My Classic Car.

    Here are my favorites:

    1. Chasing Classics Cars - For me, the best show right now
    2. Top Gear - Still the standard by which these are measured, but they seem more interested in stunts than cars thee days
    3. Wheeler Dealers - Great chemistry and informitive
    4. Fast & Loud & Misfit Garage - Fun and have good stunts
    5. Legendary Motorcars - Not even sure this is still on, but I like Peter Klutt
    6. Whats my Car Worth - Usually entertaining
    7. South Beach Classics - Guilty pleasure, LOVE the blonde on this show
    8. 3 Girls Garage - Duh
    9. Dallas Car Sharks - Fun to watch, mindless entertainment
    10. Texas Car Wars - Was interesting enough

    And some I really don't like:

    1. Car Chasers - Seedy car buyers, nothing to add
    2. The one wih the Brit and Canadian always arguing - yuck
    3. Overhaulin - Just don't get the appeal
    4. Desert Valley Auto Parts - Boring
    5. The one where they go to people's garages - Other than the good looking chick, meh
    6. The one set at The Guild in Canada
    7. Car Matchmaker - Ugh, just stop already
    8. The one where they go into "dangerous" situations to buy cars - Jeez how cheesy

    How about you guys?

    I agree with your #1 choice.
    Wayne is the coolest easing going guy.
    Not obnoxious or cocky, just a real car guy!
    He had no problem posing with me and my 575.

    My number 2 is Fast and Loud and Mistfit Garage.
    They just make me laugh. the work they do is not the norm like most shows

    The show that really dissappoints me is Graveyard Cars.
    I am a muscle car fanatic and Mark Worman knows Mopars.
    The disappointment comes from the stupid hijinx they show portrays.
    You very rarely seeing them working on a car unless its installing a dash board or glass beading parts.
    All the major metal and restoration work is done by men in his body shop that they never show.

    I think the best fabricator on TV is Lou Santiago and Jared Zimmerman on Car Fix. It airs on Velocity

    Classic Car Restoration I think it is. I like it since it shows cars being worked on, and often unusual ones. Yes, it has the usual "set up" arguments and problems coming up, but it does show what it takes to restore an old rusty car.

    I looked it up...Classic Car Rescue.

    Shame about this one because I really like the black guy that does the painting, hilarious drol Brit humor. The made up arguments ruin it for me, and both principals annoy me.

    I admire the dedication to the one brand, but Worman comes off as a sleazy butthead. Hate that promo they always play with the guy pretending to punch the screen. In a real fight, the guy goes down in one punch from almost anyone.

    Would pay to see Ted Vernon (South Beach Classics, former boxer) make him cry.
