What's your favourite AUTOMOTIVE TV program and why?
Permalink Closed

Seems there are quite few automotive TV shows these days.  Some good, other's are pretty lame.  My pick has to be "Dream Car Garage".  The reason I love this show is because it is Canadian and Peter Klutt is a wealth of knowledge on all types of cars. The cars are  way out of my league and high end restorations but it's great to learn about them then see Peter drive the tar out of these high dollar cars.  And man can he ever drive!   As well, some of his paint and body repair tips are pretty good.  A great Canadian show!!!!  Just my twocents.gif   What are your picks?

I don't mind Dream Car Garage. But I have to admit I miss Tom. Every time Peters new co host comes on , she splits my ear drums. Seriously do the producers not watch their own show ? Chop Cut Rebuild is getting a little better too.
But hands down for me is Stacey David's Gearz.

powerblock would be good if it was on in the early mornings. by the time its over, so is the day. they should put it on at 8am, so you can be out in your garage by 10am.

 i do enjoy my classic car, with dennis gage, when its on early

I have no favourite (I watch them all) I like bit & pieces of many shows:

Dream Car Garage
Dave's Corner Garage
Past Time
Chop Cut Rebuild
Horse Power, Trucks, Muscle Car (I don't like Extreme 4x4)
2 Guys Garage
Truck U
Car Crazy
My Classic car
Gearz
Hot Rod TV
Pinks (All Out)
Top Ten ------ Of All Time
Overhaulin' (when it was on)
American Hotrod (when it was on)
etc. etc.

It all depends on the subject matter. Any of the above shows can either suck donkeys or be really amazing at one time or another.
* Courtney and Paige are ALWAYS amazinghump.gif

Ya, it's easier for me to say which shows I REALLY dislike.

Extreme 4x4, Lucas Oil On The Edge, and Monster Jam are a few for example.

The theme song from Dave's Corner Garage drives me nuts ... what a cheesy, crappy song ... although I don't mind the show.

Pass Time is the only show that I truly like.

The rest I watch strictly for the cars- the hosts of the other shows and the dialog that the  writers come up with drives me up the wall.

Especially  annoying to me are Dennis Gage, Stacey David and Courtney- She doesn't know S--t about cars. furious  (sorry if anyone is in love with her)

Cut Chop Rebuild is a good one. Gears is usually interesting. Hot Rod TV (but too may repeats.) Overall, I'd have to say Gears (and BJ and the Bear.)

Dont the fake deadlines keep you riveted to your seat ??  Reality tv for car guys I guess. Ditto on Courtney.  My wife cringes when I tell her I want to get some tight jeans and grow a Stacey David mullet !!!!!!!!!!
