## Synopsis

Counting Cars (2012-2021) is an American reality series created for History. Danny "The Count" Koker leads a crew at Count's Kustoms, a Las Vegas car shop where restoring, customizing and reselling vehicles is a constant race to stay profitable. The engine of each episode is a hunt for the next great ride, from classic muscle cars and hot rods to choppers and exotic machines, followed by the work of bringing them back to life and finding buyers in time. Co-hosts Ryan Evans and Kevin Mack appear across the run alongside Danny, and the shop's day-to-day pressures keep the stakes grounded and immediate. Spanning ten seasons and nearly two hundred episodes of roughly twenty-three minutes each, the show is a long-running, case-by-case format rather than a continuous story. Its tone is brisk, upbeat and hands-on, with a workshop camaraderie that fans of Overhaulin', Pawn Stars and Pimp My Ride will find familiar. Set in the present-day Las Vegas car scene, it offers a steady, good-natured view of American car culture.
