Here's my review.

It sucks.

"Ima restore an Olds 427 to be faster than my father's 427 DRAMA"

"We conveniently broke the extremely rare back window DRAMA"

"I walked into my father's restricted lot to get parts DRAMA"

I like the car builds themselves and the fake drama is in pretty much every car show these days so I've learned to live with it. The only fairly pure car show left is wheeler dealers

I spent about 20 seconds trying to think of what an Olds 427 DRAMA was before moving on to the next line and realize how stupid I was.

this show was awful. They only did one season. I'm shocked they brought South Beach classics back

Olds never had a 427.

The car is called a 442. I saw this episode. His mirrors are incorrect for that year.

The engine is a 455 or 400 depending on year. While the 442 got a 400, the full size Oldsmobiles got a 425 until both the 400 and 425 were replaced by the 455.

There's some horrid 4WD show on, too. Part of the episode I saw involved a guy that bought an early 2000's Z71 with the engine light on, sorted that, applied some camouflage to the rocker panels and the back window, added a chrome gas filler and was crowing about how awesome it was. OK - maybe the engine issues were deeper than I knew, but still...

Hence, the drama!

Do the ads for the show have pictures of the father and son standing with their arms crossed, looking menacing?

Discovery has got so diluted. The only decent show, without 15-20 minutes of drama, is Chasing Classic Cars and maybe Wheeler Dealers.
