How is Wayne Carini doing now?

[@ddutsie]

The Roger situation is troublesome and shows a negative side of Carini

[@popegeorgeringo]

ROGER WAS THE SHOW. … Waynes business model was to make relationships with the elderly friends of his parents that had nice and valuable cars and wait for them to die.

[@teestees1115]

they didnt say why he was sacked and what happened to him

[@davidfalk8953]

i watch till the end,i miss the show and roger was cool,

[@stephenclark2058]

I always watched Carini until I learnt how he treated Roger , who was a clever guy and did all the dirty work . For a man supposedly worth $20000000 I t would have kind to help Roger through his bad times , and then cut off .

[@trevorhalliday793]

Chasing Classic Cars was my favourite car show, I still watch the repeats even though they are 10 years old, Wayne is a guy at the top of his game,car restoration, wishing him all the best for the future.

[@Chris-hw4mq]

Horrible show, they never show for how much he bought the cars.

[@joejones270]

I definitely watched to the end.. loved the show.

[@pvb3666]

I'll never forget how he was on stage in Monterey with Mike Brewer of Wheeler Dealer and he was constantly screaming on his phone bidding on auction cars while on stage interrupting Mike's show constantly. Extremely rude and disrespectful. Loved Roger, extremely talented old style mechanic! Irreplaceable.

[@jayminasi6073]

that is shocking about Wayne firing his mechanic. he was the best part of the show.

[@HenrySousa-n2c]

.....AND ! HE NEVER GOT PAID ?...I`VE LOST A LOT OF RESPECT FOR WAYNE...NO EXCUSES...Not even dental work ? Are you joking?.... a 25-million-dollar jerk...

[@bobbygermano9926]

I've met Wayne at 2 events. It's rare, when you find someone who has both a passion for cars, and helping those on the autism spectrum

[@papabits5721]

The old mechanic was the only thing worth watching

Instead of telling me how is he doing this day you gave me instead how he became who he is …. Different story

[@FissionChips]

Watched to the end and not happy about the way Roger was treated. Expected more than that from Wayne and for that reason my respect for Wayne has turned 180 degrees south . . .

[@gregkowerda2960]

Loved the episode when he brought the sign from the Wayne drive in .Living in Garden City Michigan, I went to that drive in many times.

[@johnpritchard2772]

i watched till the end!! I enjoyed the CCC series - and he knew car mechanics. best wishes from Lincolnshire UK

[@colingarner6175]

He irritatingly said everything was cool , he didn’t seem to know any other words !!!! Roger was the star of the show .

[@mganut37]

I totally agree!

[@joewall1232]

Living in the area, I frequently drive by F40, and have met Wayne more than a few times at Lime rock at various events, mostly the Vintage Historics weekend over Labor Day. always very gracious and very engaging.

[@gw3598]

Loved the show and Wayne. But cannot believe how everyone gives him a pass on screwing over Roger.

[@bopryszlak3863]

Rich pricks are seldom nice people in reality.

[@Meatbalzz]

Did he? It’s always a shame and certainly sad when an older person falls on hard times both health and financially wise. Roger was certainly a easy guy to like, but we don’t know anything about these guys on a personal level other than what we see on tv. But at the end of the day we are all responsible for ourselves and our own lives. Carini gave him a job. It’s just the hard truth.

[@gw3598]

@@Meatbalzz And based on what we see, Wayne paid him zero for his tv time. Wayne, a millionaire didn't offer to help him at all. Wayne must not have much of a conscience.

[@Meatbalzz]

@@gw3598 - I get it honestly. I personally would have helped him. But Wayne was the star (along with the cars) not Roger. It was Wayne’s shop, Wayne’s money. I’m curious- did Roger ever make a statement condemning Wayne or absolving him of blame?

[@gw3598]

@@Meatbalzz Not to my knowledge, but he was a class act.

I watched the show, saw him in person at Lake George, and all I can say is, 'What an asshole.'

[@oakdalejoe4495]

I watched to the very end. Best of luck Wayne.

[@b3877896]

I've been an avid fan of Chasing Classic Cars for many years. Though is IS disappointing to hear what happened to Roger. He was always the highlight of many CCC episodes!

[@billiebobbienorton2556]

My late husband would often visit Wayne at the F-40 shop when Wayne was berating Roger. They fought like cats and dogs until one day Roger gave Wayne an "Atomic Wedgee". Wayne started crying like a baby because his "Package" was badly damaged. Eventually they made up....or so Roger thought. Then the real kick in the balls was when Wayne screwed Roger. Figuratively, not literally. True story found on the Inter-web.

[@amygullette475]

I watched to the end. ❤️

[@stoveguy2133]

Old lady= I want Wayne to buy my car. He cares. Wayne= I have car for sale now. Woo, lots of care there. He wants to GET car so he can sell it.

That is the business he is in.....??

[@victorschepers2124]

Yes great show and nice man greetings from Holland,,

[@rickharem5788]

I watched until the end. I miss chasing classic cars.

[@Thincastle]

I watched because I love cars shows. But Wayne had a Napoleon complex and was always trying to dominate.

[@brianandrews7099]

I never found Carini to be any sort of stand up individual nor the show to depict the day to day excitement of his life as real. I just found him to be another rich classic car dealer from Connecticut who just happen to get a reality show. Sometimes I watched to see the cars … not Carini. Replace him with somebody else and yield the same results.

[@gregorynagy8500]

Cool video!! Metro Detroit Loves you guys!! G

[@tjroicub6079]

I met Wayne several times in/around Connecticut (Greenwich, Line Rock). He was always willing to spend time speaking with me. Wayne is a real gentleman, class act.

[@MikeJones-ro5nl]

I watched to the end too. So, Wayne or Co. just screwed Roger? Shame!

[@geedubb-q1u]

I used to watch Speedvision weekly. Great shows.

[@benchildress4309]

[@carlevans7966]

Wayne should've treated Roger better.

[@billiebobbienorton2556]

Wayne is gonna get his...Roger will come back to haunt him!

[@richxts1357]

Was the "General" from The "General Insurance Co." patterned after Wayne's image? No criticism intended, we watched all his videos. Wish he was making videos and shows again!

[@robertjames6640]

I never felt comfortable with Carini. I know others who fell the same off-vibes with him.

[@WFORacer]

Old mechanic was interesting, Wayne strikes me as a used car salesman.

I miss watching, Chasing Classic Cars". It was my favorite car restoration show. It goes to show that the TV producers could drop you like a hot potato.

[@alanstpierre3532]

I saw Wayne with Roger 2 weeks ago at car show in riverside ca. They were hanging together. Also with Chip Foose. And Barry Meguire. All was well

[@makiwa]

I used to watch this program a lot when it was on TV and really enjoyed it, but after reading what happened to Roger, who in my mind was a big part of the series and brought a lightness to it. Sadly after reading how Roger was disgustingly treated it now leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth. But that's what money and greed does to everyone eventually no matter how nice they seem on the surface.

Speedvision, later ruined by Fox under the name of the Speed Channel, was a once great Motorsport channel. Fox put the final nail in the coffin with lousy car related shows instead of showing car races, and by losing the Formula-1 contract to NBC. Best of luck to Wayne helping to recreate Speedvision.

EXCEPT for the lowly way he dismissed Roger. Roger saved his butt all the time by solving difficult mechanical problems and had a salty sense of humor that was an engaging part of the show.

[@johnkochen7264]

For those angry about the discrepancy between what Carini pays for a car and what he asks for it, I would ask that you consider the cost of doing business. State taxes, depreciation, federal taxes, wages, sales taxes, utilities, still more taxes, spare parts and, you guessed it….taxes. This is not a comprehensive list but you get the general idea.

[@joe6096]

As with running any kind of business that involves buying and selling product, you make your money on what you BUY something for, not what you sell it for.

Says a lot about Wayne Carini when his life long friend and employee Roger had to have necessary surgery paid for by a ' GO FUND ME' scheme and Carini never offered to pay the medical expenses. .One can see he is more interested in himself and his business than having any loyalty to those who helped him make part of his reputed 20 million dollar fortune. Have no time for Wayne Carini at all

[@jws3925]

Roger was the best part of the show. Personally, I did not care for Wayne. Roger was a true treasure. If Wayne stuck with exotic cars I guess I'd be ok with him but he swoops in on some "pedestrian" cars like VW Bug and an older non-collectable Mercedes. You know he "stole" those cars and became nothing more than a used car salesman. Why not leave those cars to find for guys like me who just like older cars but don't have a boat load of cash. Leave the non-collectables alone. You make enough and have enough money.

I like how he tells the people he buys the car from who’ve had the car for years don’t worry it’s going to a good home , and they look into the camera saying we trust Wayne we know it going to a good home, but once he gets his hands on the vehicle he can’t wait to sell! I’m sorry but he comes across as a greedy big headed conman 🤔

So, you'd rather he just keep all the cars he buys and go bankrupt instead. Got it.

[@burkelong4376]

Interesting piece, but I do have two negative comments. First is the unfortunate choice of "music" in the background. That repetitive, monotonous robo track is nothing short of horrible. It has zero redeeming qualities but instead is just plain irritating. Secondly, with that many seasons of video available I would think that you could avoid using the same shot twice. I counted many shots that were used more than once, including the one where Wayne was wiping down the hood of the black car. I saw that at least six times.

[@brianzaborowski2724]

I could care less how Wayne is doing after what he did to Roger. I quit watching his show after that.

[@gruntlima6845]

Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, you came across as the guy charged with cleaning the bird sh-T off the cars for sale. The guy with his cloth and glass cleaner or detailer. Never once did I get the feeling you had any sort of advanced mechanical ability. You were excellent at taking credit, and as the owner that’s not unusual. Loved the show when you weren’t hogging all the credit. Roger talked to much, but his knowledge was obvious.

[@englishman831]

I don’t like the way he speaks to his employees.

[@mayordjq]

I really wanted to like CCC. I watched three episodes, and in all 3 he did things that made no sense. In one of the episodes he took an early '70s Maserati owned by a very wealthy client to auction in California. He was informed it would need to pass a smog test to be sold in CA. He took it to a local grease monkey garage that screwed around with the carburators but couldn't get it to pass a smog test. I've never lived in California, but I know that all cars have to pass a smog test, even classics. A professional wheeler-dealer should be aware of this.
