Américars : Pièces détachées

Look as a show it grows on you, it's not the best out there but it does ok for itself, the only pitfall is this brain dead half wit they had to bring in when they lost their previous strung out painter. John your not making your mum proud out you by carrying on like a spoilt little girl scout, just stop whinging ffs, makes me wanna fly to America and slap some sense into you.

As gas monkey evolved from skin of their teeth junk builds up to the big time SEMA show, Mattel and Earnhardt cars, Misfit, brings the view back to what made them like fast and loud to begin with. Low budget builds, lots of goofing off and likable characters.

Misfit garage takes us back to why we started watching reality automotive repair shows to begin with.

Tom Smith is not funny and the show spent way too much time thinking he was. Fart jokes can only last so long.

Even though you can tell most of it is staged they diid well at carrrying it out.

I was skeptical at first but it has grown on me.. Much more "hands on" that fast n loud has become. I now prefer misfit over fast n loud. Fast N loud is still good However, it has become the "Richard" show and all of the outside influences of Gas Monkey (gas monkey bar n grill, concert venues) have taken over the show. Sometimes I feel like fast n loud is one long Richard commercial and has lost its way in regards to "building" cool cars. Don't get me wrong, fast n loud still makes and builds some awesome vehicles, but A lot of fluff in between. I still watch them both but Misfit Garage has better crazy characters and stays true to the premise of the show. Cheers and Enjoy all !

And that's just fine in my book. There is no way the premise of this show is anything but just some idea that Richard had to keep the glory of Fast n Loud on it's new market as the show moves into a higher bracket of car build, but still keep touch with that initial work that Gas Monkey started with but generally don't go near (or show at least) now.

1. Thomas & Richard have known each other for years, if there is a car wheeler & dealer that Richard can trust to make good deals, it's Thomas (he wouldn't ask Dennis, he's already a millionaire & would just look for Holy Grail cars). 2. Tom & Jordan know their way around a car inside & out and Jordan always showed himself to be a conscientious employee on Fast n Loud putting in the long hours to bring a build home. 3. Tom was ridiculously popular with the viewers. How to utilize that? Give him his own show & let him shine. 3. Tom & Jordan (or Scott) don't have the bearded wonders hipster cred. 4. The format with Sue is exactly the same. 5. Richard is always coming around to see his "tenants", he does this because he's the puppetmaster pulling the strings.

If you make comparisons with Fast n Loud & expecting the same, you're making a mistake & will be disappointed. If you're taking it as a spin-off / extension from Fast n Loud that's entertaining in its own right & does all those things that Gas Monkey used to do, you'll love Misfit Garage. The guys put their heart & soul into each build, Thomas brings the market nous & it seems to be working for them, plus they have the naivety of Soup Bone to keep you amused, he's the Fire Up Garage version of the shop cat.

Very entertaining & recommended viewing.
