Road Worthy Rescue

There aren’t many must see’s on tv for me anymore but I must say, I really enjoy this show. I’m thrilled season 2 is underway.
First, Derek Bieri is just funny. What he calls stuff, how he l tosses parts, and how he interact with the car and others is quite comical. He’s the anti FathomWorks guy. He reminds me that these are just cars so just chill out.
2nd, I love that the idea is to just get the car “road worthy” and drive. None of these silly 1 year builds that cost thousands of dollars that no one drives. He’s not building show cars but always saying to just get the car on the road and improve later if desired. Roadworthy.
3rd, his wife is really cute.
4th, bringing cars that would otherwise just rot away back to life. The guy’s an environmentalist. 😀😀

Thoughts anyone?

Yea, I love the show as well. He is funny, and does just enough to get a car to drive back to his shop for some work to make it safer and clean out the interior.

I record every episode.

Last nights episode was pretty good. He took the car to a body shop after getting it running and they body worked and painted it in a day. Very similar to Roadkill in the way he gets the car running and driving after it has been sitting somewhere for years

Another vote for liking the show.

It doesn't have to be some super special 1 of 27 car for him to get running again either. A few have been 6's and I like that.

Agreed, the “sparkle-ator” word “creation-ator” is really great.

But it’s jam packed with dingdang commerFrustratinationers.

Or behind a paywall.

Btw, the Regal T was a fantastic get. That’s my dream condition of an older vehicle I’d love to rescue.

Get an adblocker for Youtube. It makes everything better to watch.

I watched him last night after the recommendations from here.

His stupid goofy talk got annoying real fast. It's a shame because what he does is interesting.
