You have to admit he does some good work and not a bunch of fluff work.
His hair is the best. Long live The Steve Miller Band!
That one on the left. I want it.
Too bad you didn't want the one on the right (the green goblin) it's listed on ebay right now... http://cgi.ebay.com/HMR-Unique-Custom-Electric-Guitar-USA-1-of-1-B-O_W0QQitemZ150399771558QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item23048663a6#ht_1558wt_1166
The shows not too bad, I catch it evey now and then. I remember him working on Ted Nugents Bronco at on point. Thrashed for a while then brought it into the shop.
I too enjoy the shows... wish I could weld/fabricate like that ... for that matter I wish I had a shop like that...

that show has the WORST logo i have ever seen. i couldn't t even figure out what it said for a couple of weekends.
but, he's my favorite sat/sun morning personality...because he's got talent. and you can tell he truly enjoys his work.
Stacey dedicated an episode to the history of Hot Wheels cars. It was kinda cool, especially since our kids now collect them.
Semi-hijack:
I watched the first episode of "Dirty Jobs" this evening that I had watched in some time. I can nearly declare it better than probably 9 of the 10 car shows I've seen recently COMBINED in its watchabliness, overall coolness, and guy doing a thing in a realistic way and getting a resultness.
Dirty Jobs, Top Gear, CNN, the NFL and Family Guy and I'm cool. That's all the channels I need.

He's awesome! Trucks! was the only show I made sure not to miss. Unfortunately, I no longer have cable/SPEED.

I have to agree with you on this. I always feel like he's kinda an idiot in the sense of he's almost wasting the other guys time, but does a good job at presenting it. But otherwise Mike Rowe is awesome.
Have you seen the episode where Stacy builds a V-8 powered bar stool? How to kill yourself with one beer.
my wife is now hooked. she asked me on Saturday what happened to Ted Nugent's Bronco. I think that was just a group of shows over Christmas week.
I have a couple of 80s chevy trucks and like the "" Knucklebuster "" old chevy build he has been building . He does have el dorko pants sorta erkle style ,, but i like the knuckle buster truck .. truck truck u it is crap

NO Speed! I don't think I could function without it. Second Best to GRM.

I like Stacey's show(s)...they all seem to be fun, informative and tailor made for the car guys.Been a fan for a while.
However, the use of 70's era-esque "murals" are not in keeping with the quality of the builds....
The Nugent Bronco got a new name "Bushmaster", and a snake was painted on the side. It is now green.
In reply to Racedreamer:
I guess the SPEED channel has become better, at the time I dropped it after it became too NASCAR centric and at that point it was no use keeping the cable either.
We now just have Netflix streaming to our TV.
Speed, HD theater, The Science channel, NFL, Family Guy..
I'd list Top Gear but I torrent that so it's in a different file.
Although I do use a Boxee to watch it on my TV
Saturday morning early. Moves up and down the time of 8 O'clock. Look at TV listing.
Except for F1, Grand Am and AMLS broadcasts, Speed is about the worst channel on TV. I don't even watch it anymore besides those and the occasional Barrett Jackson.
I watched the episode about the Silver State Classic open road race. It was good, except for two things:
1. It's not the only race of its type. Fact check, Stacy!
2. He got a ticket driving a sponsor's '57 Chevy, so he couldn't race. Convenient.
Still, Gearz is okay.

Umm.. why are you looking there on a Saturday morning?
I think you're the only guy here who's noticed.

They replay the same 5 episodes over and over... eventually one's eyes wander, right? Guys... I mean, who's with me? Hey, look over there... It's a Miata!
I remember reading about a study where they used eye tracking to watch where men were looking during baseball games etc, and found that they spent a lot of time looking at other guys' junk They hypothesized men were subconsciously "checking out the competition" XD
BUSHMASTER!?!? he stole my porn name!!!

Gearz is one of about three shows I watch on speed. Definately the best build type show. Loved Sgt. Rock!
