I like GMG, not so much the builds but they're entertaining. I've had two friends on the show, one posts here and the other is a regular.

I hope roadkill crushes gas monkey. I would also buy the shit out of a gas chicken garage shirtOriginally posted by Theodore RooseveltIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

They were working on a 60's mustang, and talking about how expensive the paint was and that it would be impossible to match the color. Then they show this inbred kid spray painting a driveshaft white in front of the shop fan. Then they say he got a lot of overspray on the mustang and it might ruin the build. Only problem was the damn can was clearly plastidip! They went on for half the show trying to fix the paint. Even brought in Rawlings buffing guy and had him say he couldn't get the paint to buff off.
It's that kind of fake Bull Shit that turns me off of these shows. AND it's the lack of that BS that makes Roadkill so awesome!

Gas monkey always struck me as guys that were producing a show with drama; some of it real and some of it staged. Road kill is a couple of car guys having fun and living the dream. Big difference. Gas monkey might win because of corporate dollars but the road kill guys will have a lot more fun.
