Default off topic--Who watches Rides??

Im addicted to these new car shows on TLC/DISCOVERY and the like. So Chip Foose was re-doing 2 caddys and his new paint guy was Charlie from Boyd Coddington's shop down the road!!!!!!!! How scandalous...Also his sidekick Beetle Bailey was in a shot shanding the car as well. I wonder how old Boyd's shop is doing.
Let me know if anyone saw this--Its soap operas for MEN!!!

I saw the Rides episode where Lawyer Milloy (great NFL football player) took his Hummer H2 to West Coast Customs and had something like $60k of mods done (wheels, stereo, custom paint job with Mecedes paint, etc.). That episode also briefly looked at all of the other celebrity cars that West Coast Customs was working on and they went to 310 Motoring and showed the cars they were modding too. Pretty interesting.

Yeah, I saw that too. I saw another one last night where they borrow your beat-up old car and totally mod it out unbenounced to you. When you go to pick up your car it's totally done!
