I believe you'd be talking about Monster Garage. Great show. Monster House too, where they go nuts and completely redo a house to a wacky theme. They go all out and pull off some damn good stuff, it's even sometimes quite liveable.

Overhaullin' is good, where they "steal" people's cars, lead them on for a week to make them think their car (it's usually a classic car that the owner loves, but neglects) has been stripped, and then completely trick out the car. I love it because the lead design guy, Chip Foose, does awesome work. They don't go outrageous with the cars (a-la Pimp My Ride). Foose is all about the classic hot-rod look. His cars always turn out undeniably eye-catching, yet completely tasteful.

A guy I work with had his car Overhauled! Of course right now I can't remember what kind of car it was....but it was the guy who had twins and they put in car seats that matched the inside leather seats. It was really nice. Of course, he doesn't drive it to work, it's in a garage somewhere, so I haven't seen it IRL.

I have to check out the demolition derby show- that sounds ridiculous. I'm all about the ridiculous!
