It's a pretty boring Monday night and I was trying to find something to watch on the tube and after looking at the menu several times I saw Fast & Loud was on. Being really bored I thought I'd see what those fools were up to. They were selling some cars at Barrett Jackson and of course they were losing their butts again. The only thing that keeps these guys in biz is the TV show. I think most of it has to do with their horrible reputation. Still confused at how this show stays on TV!

I was also kinda bored too. I figured at least a stupid car show has cars.

Two things I didn't understand:

A) Doesn't Barrett Jackson allow the seller a Reserve Price, like Mecum does?

B) Who buys a '68 Impala for $46K ?
 
The business IS the television show. It's owned by the network, not some guy. It's a set, NOT a shop. FAKE. What does it take for folks to realize that? It's completely scripted. There are no customers, there is no business, there are no "deadlines", there is no losing money. Only pockets being lined with advertising dollars. The sooner people come to grips with that the sooner we can get rid of such mockery. Maybe then the uneducated will also stop using 100% fiction as a measure for real life...

I hear ya. My folks watch it all the time, and the only thing I can watch for any length of time is sports, and even that is boring as hell... :(

BTW, I have two tv sets and never watch either one. Thought of making yard art with a sledge hammer through the screen, but why waste a good sledge???
 
I haven't watch a tv program in over a year or so. 99% of what is on it is BS and I have enough of that in my life already.

The show doesn't bother me... I find it entertaining... Not sure why it riles some people up... It's just TV...

At least they are doing something unlike some reality TV...
