I vote for the show 'Top Gear' (looks to be a low budget British show)

Disco channel must be going low budget too now (or have run out of Monster _____FILLINTHEBLANK_____ ideas) ...does anyone take them seriously? I mean, all the dumb crap they do, test, show, and have the nerve to call the SRT a "dog"

Maybe it's a comedy....their humor is a little off kilter at times :)

hmm, I actualy like that show - because it has some sort of british humor.

When they compare a KIA and a Lexus the take the KIA over the Lexus, but the arguments are "valid".. it is fun to watch.

Top Gear can not be taken to seriously. They love to give every car a hard time. They were doggin on Porsches a couple of episodes ago, gave Maserati a hard time about their new super car, ragged on how Jeremy Ford GT is a pain to drive, made fun the other guys car that is made of wood, and on and on. Just about the only car they've not given a hard time is the DB-9. Even when the giving the Viper a thrashing, in the end Jeremy stated he still wanted one. The show is just good fun and has to be watched for it's entertainment, not for it's in depth review of cars.

My vote would go to "MY Classic Car" with the nut standing behind the big moustache. I realize that he is a bit "enthusiastic", but gets ridiculous.

Wait a sec....I take that back. My vote goes to anything with Jesse James in it. He is almost as annoying as David Spade.

Wait a sec...I that THAT back. Orange County Choppers. Reminds me too much of our family business.

Sad part is, I like the Boyd Coddington show. I think he's a ****, and could not imagine spending that kind of money for a car that is rushed like thiers are on each episode...but at least it's entertaining.

To each his own. Its about personal taste.
A lot depends on the individuals' automotive background, and which car he has in mind as the ideal when assessing a car.

All I know is that watching them cut the side bolsters off the Gen III seat on Unique Whips last night almost made me sick to my stomach. Then when the guy crashed the car I was embarassed to be a Viper owner.

My vote goes to two shows. Anything with Jesse James and that new show on speed, Pinks. The stupid host kept saying it's not a street race. Sure your on a track but, I didn't know that REAL drag racing involes a person as the tree. :rolleyes:

Pinks makes the Wraith look like a great movie.

Phoenix I hear ya! I stayed up till three last night to catch it. I was feeling pretty sick myself just watching them cut the seats.

I saw an episode of **** my ride and they gave this dude a new car and then pimped it. Looked stupid but damn... a new car. Someone needs to send in their Viper for a pimping and then when they get the call tell them to forget it. :smirk:

I saw that Unique Whips show last night too Phoenix. That show *****! And when I saw that Viper get thrashed... Man! And the dude acted like no big deal. Idiot! Hope he's not in the club. :eek:
