Lost in Transmission

I enjoy this show a lot. The dialogue is entertaining, the cars are interesting (not just more Camaros & Mustangs), and the show focuses on doing something good for someone who deserves it. The only episode I didn't enjoy was the first because the owner was really bizarre and obviously stoned on serious chemicals and maybe didn't deserve it... (?). I like the fact that they solve problems without the excessive drama, and keep the whole vibe fun and positive. I do wish we'd see a little more of Rut and George doing the actual work, like the tear down on the Eagle and the VW Jetta Truck. All in all, funny and entertaining.

This short lived car show was entertaining. Nobody should think they can watch these reality car shows as a restoration guide for their own cars lol. The guys are funny as they operate at a loss in every episode and screw up on camera. One episode Rutledge cuts the bed of a truck too short. Hilarious. Misfit garage without all the language. I wish there was more to watch.

Put together a dork pretending to be an expert with a doofy hillbilly and you have History channel's "Lost in Transmission".

If you like seeing rich kids do stupid things to squander money while pretending like they are some sort of authority on the subject then you'll love this show.

It really seems they went out of their way to find the strangest and most distasteful individuals to feature on the show.

I wish I could get the wasted hour of my life back.

The first two "restorations" are a complete failure. The DeLorean had salt water damage and was completely rusted out, so they had to scrap it.

The other "car" wasn't even a car, nor did they restore it. It was some kind of obscure microbus that they converted to a golf cart.

The basic theme of this show is that the dork comes up with a really dumb idea to convert some really crappy car that nobody collects into some sort of wacky sort of yard art.

Holy crap – what world are these people living in – first after looking at some of these so called "restorations" I am embarrassed for these two yahoos – take for example the end of the AMC Eagle episode – they must have painted the car with the flat paint to hide the fact that the bodywork really wasn't done. You can see the dents in the doors and what the ^&*^ is the holes and dent in the rear quarter panel ? Not to mention the " we can do it for less" even tho they do NO work themselves other than removing some trim. No – this show is worse than Fast and Loud ( who really do their own builds ) worse than Misfit Garage ( which I didn't think was possible ) and truly a total cluster from start to finish. Hopefully it will be canceled and a real restoration show put in its place. To say that hipster Rutledge Wood is an " automotive expert " is a joke as far as restorations go. How exactly are they saving money over a "shop" as they mention in each episode other than cutting corners and getting the History Channel to drop some dollars on substandard work – no this show is a joke – please, please let it die a quick death.

I am a big fan of car shows. There are some I don't like but most are informative and somewhat entertaining. I recently purchased an FJ40 so I was excited to see that there was going to be a show about restoring one. I was hoping to learn something from the show about the restoration process because I consider myself a novice at this. I can honestly say I learned absolutely nothing. To make things worst I had to watch the hosts put together a Jetta pickup truck kit. I did learn if you put an airbag in a fire it would explode. Good educational TV.

The show was inane and the hosts were incredibly annoying with their constant bantering and bad jokes. Although I did like Rutledge Wood in Top Gear.

Needless to say this show is a one and done for me.
