American Restoration/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


These things about American Restoration are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • Fandom Rivalry: In what Rick calls another example of the great Coke vs. Pepsi debate, a customer brings in a 1940s Coca-Cola coin changer machine for restoration, but being a Pepsi fan he asks Rick to repaint it in Pepsi blue rather than its original Coke red.
  • Tear Jerker: When Rick's talking about how hard it is to give up the old shop to move to the new one. At one point in talking about how he's spent the best years of his life there, he becomes so emotional he has to drop out of view of the camera to collect himself.
  • The Woobie: Tyler. While it's true he screws up a lot, he actually does try to work, often showing initiative and a willingness to do the job that some of the adult employees lack. While it makes sense to scold him for messing up, he's also never given credit for having a good work ethic in the first place.
