Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

scottjtepper As interesting as the show is, it doesn't tell the real story about auctions. We've been told about the 10% premium to the buyer and the 7% to the seller. Are those premiums also charged to volume buyers and sellers like Carini? How about the ins and outs on reserve vs. non reserve cars? What is the cost difference to the seller when he has a reserve car? When won't an auction take a reserve car? Carini also fudges on prices. When he wants a car to sell for a certain amount and it doesn't, he adds on the buyer's premium to bring it up to his estimate.I suppose if Carini or the other big auction customers who show up on Velocity actually told us about with the details they'd lose their favored status as auction customers. So much for reportage.It would be nice if Wayne would learn how to pronounce "concours d'elegance" (there's no "dee" sound in there, Wayne) and stop saying "but yet." The word "yet" doesn't need a "but." Agggh.And one final thing -- despite all the cars Wayne supposedly owns and sells on the show, the cars advertised on his website for sale or that have been sold don't relate at all to the great cars paraded on the show.Bottom line is this is just another "reality" show which is from far reality.

Jared U. When I first watched Chasing Classic Cars, I really wasn't interested in it. I love classic cars, but I'm not super into the high-brow world of specialty cars (i.e. numbers matching, ultra rare etc etc). I am interested in them for their history, but I find the circles that are involved seem to be not so much in my interest. Upon first watching, I assumed that would be the case. While Wayne is interested in unique and rare cars, he has a true passion for automobiles in general. On top of that he wants nothing more than for those cars to be on the road and driven. His knowledge of cars is amazing in its own right. His lead mechanic Roger Barr is also an amazing watch. No nonsense straight shooter with some great commentary. I would love to spend some time wrenching on some of those cars with him. Finally, to Newjunkees review. What did you expect? He's in the BUSINESS of making money off of automobiles.

newjunkees Wayne is not a car enthusiast...he is a profiteer. He is so full of himself that I wonder if he knows that nobody cares about him or his shop.....if you've ever seen him at a car auction you can see how much he really thinks of himself...ugh. He continues to find cars that he says he has loved all his life and has always" dreamed of owning one ." ever since "he was a kid "and in the next scene he then says... " maybe I can make a decent profit on it." Old ladies whose husbands or dying or recently passed away seems to be his favorite target. I wouldn't mind so much if he stuck to his " find em , fix em, and sell em" mantra. That would be keeping it honest.....but someone at the show seems to want to portray this guy as a do gooder along the way but he somehow just comes across as a pompous smarmy used car dealer.... Sorry Wayne!

Clive-Silas As each episode begins, we see a fast-moving montage of beautiful classic cars, body shop mechanics cutting and buffing metal, and the auctioneer banging his gavel, while Wayne Carini's voice-over explains that his job is to find the specific classic cars that are wanted by wealthy clients, restore and bring them up to showroom condition and then sell them on for a massive profit. We then see a half hour show in which none of that takes place.The credit crunch appears to have turned this show's premise on its head. Now the client comes to Wayne,not to find and buy a classic car he or she covets, but to sell one they already own, presumably because they're feeling the pinch. The restoration part of the show - if any - does not take up very much of the running time. Often the whole of the second half of the show is spent at the auction. Carini is shown trying to sell gorgeous cars that have an impeccable pedigree and gleam like they just rolled out of the factory yesterday. But they invariably fail to make the hoped-for reserve price, and don't sell.The show represents a fitting epitaph to the boom years of excess. For unemployed Britons reading this, job opportunities beckon in America: every one of the auctioneers are posh-accented Englishmen.
