Discovery's show Dallas Car Sharks pisses me off. One of their hosts buys a '78 Trans Am "Hurst Edition" and tries to fix it. However, there is no such thing as a Hurst Edition Trans Am! They just had a normal black trans am, not even a Special Edition like mine. The closest would probably be the early-70s 455 High Output (HO... kind of looks like Hurst Olds). He also takes an aftermarket aluminum radiator out because it was held in by zip ties and puts in a leaky brass original one in to fix the problem. But... they would still have had the same problem because missing was the OE fan shroud which never fits with aftermarket radiators (I know, I have had this problem). Magically the shroud is in a later shot. This show is bullshit.

At this point, I'm surprised they still tout it as being an educational channel.

They started showing that show in the UK. They got to episode 4 and then stopped. Kind a says a lot.

The show's trash like most of the crap on there. Discovery is really killing themselves and all remainders of their old credibility of shows about "learning" with this "reality TV" junk.

It is seriously one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

Nah, I've seen worse, sadly. There was Desert Car Kings (they don't know shit about making money or even doing a half-decent restoration) and Texas Car Wars (the horrible predecessor to Car Sharks).

I've been reading that there is a new guy in charge that claims he'll abolish that crap.

Yes, the show sucks. I still watch it. It has cars. Some of the cars I like. It's better then watching the food channel, or housewives of Poughkeepsie, or the surgery channel.
