Chasing Classic Cars Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Manthast Absolutely amazing
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
simpilot777 First, he cannot read. Cars with look but do not touch signs he misses and leans on the car with bare hands, body oil and all. He must have been asleep all his years to have missed caring for cars. He must be very tired as he is always leaning or touching. I continue to watch his show, even though I cringe watching him, as he does bring beautiful cars to the show. He does give history of great cars to the younger people that missed living in the time period.
Robert W. Anderson This is a fun show to watch! Can't be sure how it came about. But, one thing is sure. Wayne Carini is a successful purveyor of exotic, classic, and unusual cars. All through the many seasons of the show. We get a glimpse into this Connecticut Car Dealer. A man who doesn't wait for people to bring cars to him. He goes to them. And many times it's not for him to purchase cars. Many times he's going to inspect the cars because the sellers want him to represent them at any one of the many high-end auctions scattered around the country every year. He has a vast background in automobiles and motorcycles, going back to his teen years. He's been buying and selling cars for decades and many people rely on his experience and connections to represent them at high-end auctions. He helps them deal with the auction houses, he also attends the auctions. And he speaks with his customers while the auction is going on. He advises them on when they should decide to withdraw or not, any reserve that might be part of the auction. He also advises them when they've reached a good price for their vehicles. Based on his knowledge of the various markets. I've seen some"Crack Pot" reviews on this show. Reviews trying to attach silly economic and political connotations to the course of this show as it has moved along over the years. In one particularly disgusting example of a false premise is the review "Symbolic of the Trashed Economy". This is clearly someone who does not understand the history or premise of the show. The show is about atypical cars. Cars the average person doesn't get to see. It's not a restoration show. He does have a great crew of talented fabricators, upholsterers, body men, and mechanics. Including Roger Barr a Championship Driver and knowledgeable mechanic himself. Unlike restoration shows where a car is followed through the process of putting it back on the road. This show treats us to a side of the sale of cars we don't usually get to see. And we also to get to hear many interesting histories of featured cars and their owners. And lastly, "the Trashed Economy" reviewer thinks cars not garnering the money that is asked or estimated is some kind of statement about the national economy. Anyone who's watched any auto auctions of any kind would know that cars frequently do not sell for what is asked or estimated. Car prices are based on what the market will bear. And those prices are based on rarity, condition, and model. This is an excellent show on its own merits. A good host, interesting cars, interesting stories, and visits to high-end auctions. Nothing political. Just good entertainment.
Moses Berkowitz The cars are great, the host is a pompous ass. He may like the cars he pursues, but because he smells the MONEY he'll make reselling them. It's completely obvious because the show does everything it can to conceal ANY HINT of the car's cost. I just can't stomach Wayne's thin veneer of enthusiasm for the car itself (he obviously reads and researches the cars extensively before ANYTHING is filmed) and he love of the almighty profit. It's money grubbing flippers like Wayne Carini that drive prices up and are ruining the hobby.
blitzebill Wayne Carini knows cars. It is his business to know about them. There are no pretensions.Wayne owned his dealership/restoration shop way before he got a TV show, so the reviews here dissin' him and his agenda are foolish and inaccurate.Wayne is not always financially invested in every car we see auctioned off, nor does he chase after widows whose husbands left behind expensive automobiles. They come to him learning or knowing of his expertise in moving a car to a new owner. Sure he probably collects a fee, but that's part of his business.The show is well done and shares his love of the automobile and many types of vehicles, including trucks and motorcycles. I especially appreciate his sharing of the restoration process, which seems to be happening less and less on the episodes. Roger, his main mechanic is great, with a sense of humor that is not to be missed. He usually steals the show when he's on.
