Its a shame this show chooses to glorify rum runners and criminals like Al Capone.Countless law enforcement officers gave their lives trying to stop these idiots.Bill Goldberg and the History Channel need something better to do with thier time.

I'd like to say that I really enjoyed the moonshine trippers program. I first noticed cars when I was 6 years old and my favorite was a 1940 Ford. My father talked about his 40 a lot and he had a lot of fond memories. I remember in the 60's my grandfather bought a 40 4door sedan and I was just overwhelmed with the styling and dash. It was nice seeing and hearing one run in the shape they were in when I was a child. I'm a fan of Bill's and its like a friend talking about a time I really love. I was a fan of Robert Mitchum and Thunder Road, and seeing these old cars and their stories brought back good memories.

I thought the shows on Gangster Cars & Moonshine Vehicles were very interesting. Especially the Moonshine episode, after all that's the roots of NASCAR. To ignore any part of history simply because it had a shady past does more harm than good. Its almost like rewriting history. Let me point out that there are SHADY COPS out there as well, both on Al Capone's and the Rum Runners payrolls. Just because the History Channel does a show on the cars they drove does not mean they are glorifying them. If nothing else, Remember those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Like it or not, Gangsters and Rum Runners are a part of American History. I think Goldberg has a hit here and I can't wait to see the other shows!

Maybe some people should look a little closer into their own past? I wonder if they found they had a "rum runner" as an old relative (and I bet they would) they'd think twice about criticizing them. At a time of great poverty, running moonshine put food on the table. It was a natural, historical extension of government taxation and so-called illegal liquor laws. Then again, I'm a forward thinker who believes they should make drugs legal - think about how many people would be alive if drug deals and trafficking were non-existent? But that would take too much money out of the government's pockets wouldn't it?
