TonyK Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Decided to check out this show. Picked the one where he makes a race car with a V12 engine. I enjoyed it as there wasn't yelling or arguing going on. I'll turn it off as soon as they start that "stuff". Might watch another 1 or 2 shows. That guy looks like he's had a tough life.

I almost reported the post to the mods to avoid this fall-out, but decided that it would be more respectful to reply to Thomas himself. I'm sure no harm was intended. I didn't actually mention racism, btw but the original comment did come over as racist, however innocently it was meant. Back to dissing Gas Monkey...

BlackSheep214 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yup... back to dissing Gas Monkey Garage Rust Valley Restorer, and that Mopar nut expert... what's that show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impalow Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Back on track....? I think what bothers me the most about the bad chad show.... is the complete lack of thought or consideration of people actually using the "cars" he creates... like no thought of ergonomics or functionality... it makes my skin crawl thinking that people who may someday want to modify vehicles are watching this as inspiration. Take for instance this thing... No access to the engine without removing the body... no radiator cooling openings(its behind the seat)... the seating position is absurd.. knees at your chest to drive it.. face over the windshield... Couple that with the awful proportions of pretty much everything from the show... its infuriating.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they did not show it in the TV episode if you look at the video you posted there is a 'hood' over the engine. The radiator is mid ship with fans and works fine for the 5 -10 minutes that the car runs. I think the car works as ART. Few people agree on what art is good. For what the owners paid they got their money and then some. IMGO only!! Edited October 28, 2020 by Dave Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are meant to entertain rather than educate. Ergonomics are a important necessity. Asthetics are subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imarriedawitch Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm wondering just how "real" a lot of the builds on many of the car shows are. Kindig built a '66 Nova a couple of seasons ago and it was up for auction within a couple of years. This past weekend at Barrett Jackson a Mustang California Special that was on Fantom Works went to auction within a couple of years of being built with just 300 miles on it.

It's like they gave a baking show to someone that burns everything.. every single time. I will say some of his metal fabrication techniques are interesting, blowing the bubbletop was great and if you have seen on his YouTube channel the Bugatti clone he is building is impressive and relatively accurate to the original. I think part of what angers me with the show is they portray him as this wayward automotive artist that spontaneously draws inspiration from the car hes building. When in reality the car above is obviously somewhat inspired by this: I would rather see them give a little history, talk about how this car was lost in the wildfires... etc... but that's probably why I tend to lean towards shows like "Car Kings" But what do I know... It must be working cause I have watched parts of a few Bad Chad episodes.... even though by the end I am usually fuming.... hahhaa Edited October 28, 2020 by Impalow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 You will all notice that a lot of posts are now missing from this thread. The moderator group has a lot to sort through. We may unlock this thread later, but i doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
