I absolutely love these guys and this (in my honest opinion) has a much better overall presence and quality of production than I see in every comparable show on cable. These guys know what they're doing, provide the audience with a ton of great tips on the way, and they do it with the perfect ratio of seriousness/playfullness. I am hoping they continue this series for years and years to come. It's one of my favorite category of videos that LTT produces. I can literally binge watch Scrapyard wars with more ease, attentiveness, and interest than 97% of "binge-worthy" series on Netflix, Hulu, Prime, or cable! For those that are computer enthusiasts this is an awesome show, where you might actually learn some tips and tricks if you're just beginning your dive into the computer world. Long Live Linus!

Removing the good features is bad
However, the one question I ask is why don't the contestants return to previous locations and / or contacts to source parts. I thought that after season 3, contestants would use free geek and "back alley guy"

Warning: Spoilers
- Rules for the competition listed somewhere. In season 1 and season 2, the rules for the season were said in the beginning, however with season 3, 4 & 5 rules were not stated. Thankfully, with season 6 they returned to saying the rules in the beginning of the season.
- Season 6 intro I felt it was missing the effect of previous scrapyard wars seasons.
- Evidence from the "failed" "Tech Showdown" series and Scrapyard Wars season 4 in particular, Linus is bad at customization, the aesthetics and brilliant at finding great deals for hardware, while Luke is brilliant at the customizing and not so good at finding great tech deals.
- Ending / Conclusion - Wished the style/format from season 1, 2 & 3 was kept (Season 4 was average). It contained the constant sharing their thoughts hence why I hated the ending for season 5.
- Wished the specifications of the computer the contestant piece together were shown on screen like in season 1 & 3
