Sticker Shock is a television show that premiered on the Discovery Channel in 2018. The show, which is hosted by Randy Carlson, Addison Brown, and Dennis Pittsenbarger, focuses on the world of vintage and classic cars. Each episode of the show takes viewers on a journey through the world of automotive history, exploring the stories behind some of the most iconic cars of all time.

At the heart of the show is the concept of "sticker shock." This term refers to the feeling of surprise and disbelief that many people experience when they see the price tag on a classic car. For many car enthusiasts, the cost of owning a vintage or classic vehicle can be prohibitively high, making these cars seem like mere pipe dreams. However, on Sticker Shock, viewers get an up-close look at the factors that drive the value of these cars, and gain a deeper appreciation for the cars themselves.

Throughout each episode, the hosts of the show explore different aspects of the classic car world, from auctions and restorations, to the stories behind some of the most famous cars ever made. They also talk to experts in the field, including car collectors, mechanics, and historians, to gain insights into the world of classic and vintage cars, and the people who love them.

One of the key themes that runs throughout Sticker Shock is the idea that classic cars are more than just machines - they are living pieces of history, each with a unique story to tell. Whether it's a 1950s muscle car, a vintage Corvette, or a classic British sports car, these vehicles each have their own place in the history of the automotive industry, and bring with them a sense of nostalgia and romance.

Another important aspect of the show is the sense of community that it fosters. For many car enthusiasts, the love of classic cars is more than just a personal passion - it is a way of life. On Sticker Shock, viewers get to see the ways in which this community comes together, through events like car shows, auctions, and other gatherings. Through these interactions, viewers gain an appreciation for the role that classic cars play in our culture, and the deep connections that people have to these vehicles.

Overall, Sticker Shock is a fun, engaging, and informative show for anyone with an interest in vintage and classic cars. With its passionate hosts, insightful experts, and fascinating stories, it offers a unique look at the world of automotive history, and the people who keep it alive. Whether you're a die-hard car enthusiast or just looking to learn more about this fascinating world, Sticker Shock is sure to entertain and educate.
