Must See Movie...
... View MoreIn other words,this film is a surreal ride.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
... View MoreThe car makeovers are usually pretty good. Not always what I would like, but that's a matter of taste. The one thing that drives me absolutely f@#$*?g crazy is that he NEVER installs outside rear view mirrors.It may be a California Hot Rod "Thing" but anybody who has tried to drive in the real world without mirrors has to want to blow their brains out.I smashed the driver's side mirror on my car last year and the experience of driving with city (Chicago) traffic, parallel parking and expressway "Rush Hour" driving was enough to want me give up a car for life.It took about a week to get a replacement, and I felt crippled until it was done.
... View Morefrist off if you have to pick one of the two shows that t.l.c. has about auto make overs your best bet is this one hands down, the other one i can not think of the name right now but it is a knock off of this show. some guy (well know hot rod guy) finds rusted heap spends 4 weeks stressed out as we are reminded what it cost to fix the car so in the end we get to see someone with way to much money bid $50.000 or more for a car that cost this guy less than $1500, now chip and his team they make art on wheels, they work hard, they get it done on time they do not seem stressed out or remind you what it cost. the two things that turned me off about the other show, the only thing about this show that "bites" is as another person pointed out, is that they are only doing cars for people who seem to be doing better than most of us in the bank, and i wonder why? there are after school kids groups that have vans that they could do, or maybe someone who lost everything in a home fire and are starting over, anyhow it is a good show and i look forward to more shows
... View Morehello, i am from small country in middle Europe called Slovakia and i'm watching Overhaulin on Discovery. every time i see Overhaulin on TV i'm wondering how much it cost to makeover the car like Honda Civic? i'm asking because my friend is an owner of this car and he would like to repair and little bit tuning his car. and he really like his car but he doesn't know where to start. after car accident he spent a huge amount of money to repair it but it's still not finished. this is the reason why i write this to you ( Chip Foose ) and it can be a challenge for you. have you ever do something like this in Europe? i mean Overhaulin? if you don't understand something do not hesitate to contact me on my email. and i like to meet Chip Foose face to face. :) thank you
... View MoreThis is a good show but every time they overhaul someones car I cant help but notice its some guy that can more than afford it. True that some of the shows have had people on that looked like the average guy who loves his beaten down classic or not so classic and he is content with it. The reaction to the new car is just that much better. The one with the brothers and the low rider comes to mind. When they did the mock raid on the shop and had firecrackers going off and agents running in with guns drawn, that was good stuff. I also noticed that you have to live in the L.A. area to get on the show. Not just Southern Cal. or the L.A. basin but within a 20mile radius of the shop. The overhauled cars that are on the show are all top notch, show quality and beyond belief. This is due to Chip Foose who is talented in all aspects of rebuilding the cars. If he could hold the camera and host he would be the only guy on the show. Anyway, its a good show and if they opened it up to poor guys that lived further away it would be great.
