AC is purely entertainment. I dont see much in the way of learning anything there. I like the dad because he's a real blowhard on the surface, but you can tell he's a real softie underneath.
Pauly is a talented, spoiled little brat who whines and complains about everything.
Mikey is my favorite! He's just a dope, and he's aware of it.
I think most of the real talent is in the people that dont see a whole lot of screen time on the show, the guys in the background building the bikes, and the painters.
I like MG from a fabricators stand point. I thought the Peterbuilt truck they turned into a trike was absoutely the coolest thing I have ever seen. Other projects are just plain stupid to me. That sandcar nissan was just wierd.
I watch shows like MG and think, hey, if they can do that, why cant I put a 3208T cat in a '61 IHC?
