I was watching Two guys garage the other day and at the end of the show it had a pic of Dave McBride as a Memorial.

He CoHosted the show with Sam Memmolo

He passed away April 18th from Cancer.

Heres a link if you dont remember who he is.http://www.twoguysgarage.com

I'm sorry to hear that. I like those guys and that show.

Slonaker · 05-04-2007, 10:24 AM

I have never heard of him or the show. As a cancer survivor, though, it hurts whenever I see us lose another one to it.

Wow, that is sad to hear.

I used to watch that show as well and enjoyed it.

Big D · 05-04-2007, 11:18 AM

That show was one of my favorites, Those guys would actually get dirty and came off as really knowing what they were doing, It didnt seem "scripted" like the rest of the pack.

Whats happened to all the good car-related shows? I cant stomach 99% of the ones that are on now. I used to look forward to Two Guys, My Classic Car , and Trucks, When Stacy hosted.

Now I cant tell the difference between the new car shows and Wrestlemainia.

Same Guys with a differant Dave. It was Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman, towards the end of that one (before the name changed) is when Dave McBride came in to help out.

Putter · 05-04-2007, 11:32 AM

Seems like 'shade tree' had a different guy with Sam. Either way, I always enjoyed watching them. It was a normal shop....unlike the big money show shops!

**Yukon Jack** · 05-04-2007, 12:34 PM

Did enjoy him - aren't too many good hosts these days.

JoetheMobster · 05-04-2007, 01:17 PM

damn, that sucks! I used to enjoy that show when I still had cable.

Come to think of it, that was the only channel I liked when I had cable. That being one of the reasons I ditched cable, crappy shows and repeated all the time. I can find better uses for the $50 spent on it. Not saying satellite's better...now I have nothing except what the rabbit ears can pick up!

FarmTruk · 05-04-2007, 01:42 PM

Agreed with all of y'all. I really enjoyed that show. They seemed real, and did things an average car guy could/would do. Never seemed too "slick" or outrageous.

87 STEPPER · 05-04-2007, 02:52 PM

Yeah i had no idea either untill the end of the show i was shocked!

I like the show and watched it when ever i could catch it i wonder if Sam will call Dave Bowman Back or just do something else.

It's sad for sure.

fastwillie 696969 · 05-04-2007, 03:30 PM

they did a show called chrome and crank too
wonder who's going to be replacing dave

chevybill · 05-04-2007, 08:40 PM

I think the Dave that passed away was Sam's co-host on a radio car repair program for several years before Sam went on TV. I would like to see the other Dave (Bowman) come back on the show. He has been doing voice-overs for the commercials that run during the show.

72BlckButy · 05-07-2007, 08:38 AM

Another loss for the car enthusiast....

RIP Dave

86swb · 05-07-2007, 08:57 AM

I watched that show now and then. Sorry to hear of his death. He will be missed on the show and such a happy easy going guy.

Pyrotechnic · 05-07-2007, 10:54 PM

Sorry to hear about that.

Although not the same Dave, growing up I always watched shadetree mechanic with my dad. I always looked forward to seeing it.
