Hot rods [tv]

For some reason, I have really enjoyed these shows where they're fixing up people's cars, not just to restore them, but to put in all sorts of crazy but wonderful modifications. Namely, Overhaulin', Pimp My Ride, and Rides. I suppose you could also throw in Monster Garage and American Chopper too.

Mind you, I don't really want to do any of these crazy things to my car (I'm mostly content filddling and adjusting my car audio system), but I'm fascinated with the extent to which people will go to make something unique. Is it a form of art on wheels? I don't think anyone's gone that far, but it sure takes some creative ideas. Great craftsmanship.
