    Most people in Las Vegas bet with chips, but Danny “The Count” Koker bets with cars. This Sin City legend walks, talks and breathes cars and bikes. When he sees a car he wants, he will do whatever it takes to get his hands on it-including making on-the-spot cash offers to unsuspecting owners. On the HISTORY series Counting Cars, Danny and his team restore, customize and sell cars in a hurry, scrambling to keep their Las Vegas shop in the black. From classics to exotics, from hotrods to choppers, Danny and the crew of Count’s Kustoms will stop at nothing to find and flip the greatest rides of all time.

      Last time I checked, hot rods aren’t designed to be practical. In case you missed it, they’re a customs shop. Crazy designs and styling are what they specialize in and is basically the whole point of this show. Watching this show and expecting practical and minimalistic car builds is like going to a vegan convention and expecting a BBQ.

      They could've swapped the engine & kept the rest stock. The tailgate looked so much better before.

    • @jlim9411
      @jlim9411 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Keith Weller attractiveness is relative. Some people find utility attractive, others find the impractical hot rod look attractive. There’s obviously a market for builds like that (a market with really wealthy buyers) and they’re choosing to fill that market. Don’t get me wrong, I think welding the tailgate was the worst thing they did to that truck, I prefer practical car builds just as much as you do, but you’re acting like that’s the only way it should be done and that people who think otherwise are idiots. Just accept the fact that people have different tastes and that there’s nothing wrong with that.

      Yeah, I think a truck should be a truck. Welding the tailgate with the electric tonneau makes it a 2 seat coupe with an oversized trunk. Of course that fits with the vinyl on the seats, not exactly functional either

    I have seen a lot of these trucks since the 1960's and this is the first one that I remember that did not have any rust problems. Even in Texas many would have rust around the wheel wells and inside the step at the bottom of the doors. This body was perfect.

      They’re a customs shop. Not a restoration shop. Everything they do, they do either because someone’s paying them, or because they just want to and know it’ll make them money. Stop hating on them for doing what they do best and being successful.

    Usually I can understand the logic behind the builds on this show. I don't always like them, but I can at least see why they went in that direction. This however is just bad. They turn down some Frankenstein monstrosity that is glorified to sit in the corner of some garage lost and forgotten. They should have done a resto mod with a counts customs flair.
