Overhaulin is a show on Discovery where thease guys steal cars, trick them out. and then return them. Has anyone else realised that this show must be fake? Heres why, If you're bad ass corvette that was passed down by you're father was STOLEN. Would you call the cops? Yes you would. So what the... The police would not be happy with people calling 911 over a show EVERY WEEK. So how does overhauling do it? They tell them that they are takeing the cars. And fucking play it off on the show Post hate below
They probably get the consent from them, so yes, it's fake probably.
bon
If my Porsche was stolen Id probably start shooting everyone near my house. But thats just me you know.
Something you've seen on TV is fake? Whoa mind fucking blown!

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;25801260]Good luck getting insurance to pay for another one after you are convicted of several counts of murder[/QUOTE] The amount of bullshit you'd have to go through and time it would take, chances are you wouldn't end up with a new one anyways, ha.
Not to mention it would probably affect their insurance premiums, or they might just outright lose their car insurance.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;25801287]no, you wouldn't.[/QUOTE] I would in my imagination bro, and you know thats what really counts.
Getting rated winner makes me feel tingly..
Don't they get consent from a relative?

As much as I like the show, you can tell from a mile away it's fake [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] BTW, Chip Foose FTW!
Also, they fake drama while building the cars. They were building an old chevy, can't remember what the hell the car was, but it wouldn't start so they claimed it was the Carburetor, when you could see the block grounding and sparking against the firewall. They came back from the commercial break and Magic! They got it running.
Isn't Discovery turning to shit nowadays?
if you watched the show you would realize that their cars were being "seized" by the IRS and such it's all feasible, and you'd be surprised when put in that scenario how exactly you react and furthermore, you fucking idiot, they take shitty cars, not nice corvettes
Overhaulin' is a bad show. I'd rather watch American Pickers. A gay couple scouring the country for American memorabilia is for some reason far more interesting than a fat Hispanic man crying over a freshly painted Crown Vic. Or Pawn Stars. Oh, those cheeky bastards.
Show sucks anyway.

And they probably call the police station beforehand in the event they are called. but yeah, that show is terribly fake [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Pretiacruento;25804264]As much as I like the show, you can tell from a mile away it's fake [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] BTW, Chip Foose FTW![/QUOTE] Did you see that episode of ultimate build off with the hearse hill climbers? One was kickin rad and looked really pro, the other was pretty much a shitty black coat with flames. He picked the one with flames for the ascetic portion flames arent even that cool

[QUOTE=TheGuru;25801475]Don't they get consent from a relative?[/QUOTE] Thats only legal if they have co-ownership of the car. Otherwise I'll gladly raid my relatives bank account because I can.
I haven't watched Discovery in 10 years, but last time I remember they had shows about cool animals and wildlife and shit, not pandering to the lowest common denominator

The owner of the car was there and they gave him the number to call.(which was so he wouldnt contact anyone other than them) This scenario would be a lot easier to pull off. Its not always like "oh my car was jacked in the middle of the night"

Something on TV is complete and utter bullshit? WOOOOOOAAAAAAAH WHO'D A THUNK IT?!
