Marks ego ruins the show


This guy has an unbelievable ego! He seems to think he's the only person in that shop that is capable of anything! And, he insults the others constantly. Of course, I'm sure the producers feel this adds "drama" to the show, but I think it just makes them all look stupid. Plus, you see very little of the actual build, which is too bad, because they actually do pretty good work!

what a **ck. this guy constantly berates and disrespects his employees. there's a difference between teasing someone you like and respect, and the crap that he spews on his workers. i can't believe Daren went back to work for him. why??? he quit because he finally got fed up being subjected to subpar work conditions and what he called criminal activity by his boss, and then goes back to work for him because he asked him to. stupid.

I'm pretty sure it's all set up by the producers, including Mark's "personality." He has definitely toned it down during the last half of season three, probably because of feedback like this. When he does stupid stuff, or struts around, you can see all the other guys smiling. These things are set up by the producers to introduce conflict. I agree, I'm not sure it's necessary -- let the cars be the stars, and it's obvious how much knowledge Mark has of these cars at a moment's notice. Maybe I was just able to let it go. I think it's funny. No way these guys would stay there if it was really like this. They're playing along. You think Daren would really shave his eyebrows so they could make a "thing" of it? No way.

Watch a little more carefully -- they're all hamming it up.

its almost fun at this point to watch mark be so pitiful;he's a tough guy fighter,watch those snips last time i saw him doing his off balance dance with punches he actually made the "I'm a little tea cup"body art amid his dance,hysterical.Mark there are maybe 8 guys in the world that are as insecure as you are.Mark the ladys man is another classic chance to watch a hopeful little boy lie about his conquests,i don't remember a quote but there are a few .As for mark the expert restorer,there are maybe 8 guys in my county that can do perfectly original restorations where this idiot thinks "a handful of guys in the world".I would love to see darren josh or royal punch mark after one of his mean comments,I guarantee it would be one half assed punch and mark would be done and crying yelling CUT CUT because his image is all he has.love the cars but as others have said not worth it anymore,and yes the producers are not much smarter than a rock allowing this insulting pussy to put his friends down to look bigger.

I just started the show with season two and have gotten a few episodes in to season three. I agree. Mark ruins what can be an otherwise good show. I've canceled the DVR records. Fast N Loud is better.


Don't be smug about your morality until it's been tested.

Nobody has the knowledge about Mopars like this guy. I have seen several of his cars at auction and nobody does it better! But Mark drives me nuts too!! More car restoration please and less *beep*
