My biggest pet peeve with alot of these car shows is that they show the process, and then skip right to finished, which taking the time to complain about issues they experienced, only to cut to the finished product anyways. Are there any car shows that actually go through the steps of teaching you how somethings done? Even just one thing per episode. I could sit there and watch tutorial after tutorial, but I don’t know what I don’t know. So watching someone else work on something and learning from them while also being entertained would be a great way to kill a Saturday. Any recommendations?
Watch Wes Work on YouTube. Solo shop owner in the middle of nowhere Illinois talks through the whole diagnostic and repair process. Also, there’s something horrifically fascinating about rust eaten midwestern vehicles.
Wheeler Dealers is still my favorite car show on regular TV. Whether it’s Edd, Ant or Elvis, they still do a pretty good job of showing what is done and explaining how technical bits work and while Mike’s antics may be increasing silly and played up for TV drama, he still shows how to get bits and pieces refurbished, refinished and rebuilt or source used replacements.
