Ever wonder what it would be like if Vin Diesel and Pauly D had Type-II Diabetes and decided to be caricatures of B-Movie mobsters that opened a used car lot? No... well Discovery Channel has created the show no one has been asking for with "Carfellas" (see it sounds like Goodfellas... clever). It is a "reality" where fake buyers and sellers bring crappy car into a crappy car lot and pretend to be offended by the low-ball offers by three "wiseguys". Sadly this will likely become the next big show on cable think of it as Jersey Shore meets Operation Repo but with guys who like cars.
It is so sad that a show with three guys so fat they could not fit in a car together (part of the show) gets play, while some honestly good car shows we have had the privilege to see pilots of have been passed over.....if you want more it is below.
Official Press Release and Trailer Below:
(New York, NY) - Meet Mike DeLucia - Mikey D. for short. Mikey's definitely made some mistakes throughout his life. He's paid the price and now he's ready to make an honest buck – in the used car business. Discovery Channel's brand new seriesCARFELLAS chronicles Mikey's life at his dealership. Get a SNEAK PEEK on Monday, August 29th at 10 PM ET/PT and 10:30 PM ET/PT, following a new episode of AMERICAN CHOPPER.
In CARFELLAS, reformed convict Mikey D. is joined by his crew, Tommie and Mario. These three steer the wheel of Broadway Motors, Mikey D's used car dealership in Amityville, Long Island. Mike runs the lot, is obsessed with moving inventory and generally keeps the guys in check. Mario knows cars inside and out. He's a skilled appraiser with a keen eye. Tommie, aka "5 x 5″ (five feet tall and five feet wide), is the muscle of the operation with a genuine love for Cadillac's, cannoli's, and cute girls.
These knock-around guys are experienced at getting money out of people. But this time they are out to make an honest living...selling used cars, Long Island style.
CARFELLAS is produced for Discovery Channel by Leftfield Pictures. Brent Montgomery and David George are executive producers for Leftfield Pictures, and Christo Doyle is executive producer for Discovery Channel.
