Yeah, what's the deal about these "mechanics" wearing these pretty little gloves that say "mechanic" on them, or rubber gloves??? Are they really that afraid to get their little hands dirty? Do we now treat our vehicles like they have AIDS or some other hideous disease so that we don't get soiled working on them???
Most of those "car nut" shows I choose not to watch. I like actually WORKING on my cars and trucks in my big, new, and cluttered shop, without heat and air, and with a half-assed air compressor.
If they had a show where a guy was actually doing the work himself (or with a couple of friends), that would be something. But, American Chopper, Monster Garage, Hot Rod TV, and those others just don't so anything for me.
