Whats your favorite car tv show ?

Vote in this poll fools ! If a show is not listed (a tv show or something online). post it up, people might want to check it out. Top Gear is great and Best Motoring is off the charts !

CHiPs rocked man! Nothing like cheesie unrealistic car crashes where a car is always in the air!!

Monster Garage kicked ***. Were else can you seem someone destroy a mint car? Like the Vette, or that cherry El Camino! They brought the previous owner while they were tearing it apart!

Most of those TV show it's unheard of execption for Knight Rider. What is Top Gear? Best Motoring?
What about that show, I'm not quite sure it was called, I think it was Viper, it had a Dodge Viper that morph into anything and the driver is a vilgiante. Anyone remember that one was called?

Super2nr TV is good when they're talking about that Supra TT buildout they were working on, but those guys generally bug me....

You can't beat Knight Rider and CHiPs for good clean classic TV fun.
If you want to know about modern cars check out Auto Motor and Sport by DWTV. Here in LA it is on PBS chan. 58 Saturdays at Noon. German show dubbed into English. It sickens me to see all the cool cars they get in Europe that we can't have here. The show is like a "cool" Motorweek.

Vanishing Point is probably the best car movie not many people know about.

I also like "Bullitt" and "Smokey and the Bandit"

For just a single chase scene, the one in "The Transporter" was pretty cool.

For lots of laughs, rent "Death Race 2000" I like how they get points for running down peds!

TV shows:
CHiPs (it's pretty funny)
My Classic Car
Horsepower TV
Motor Trend TV
any WRC race that's on SpeedVision

I actually watch Motorweek (, i know), 'cept they rarely say anything negative about any car. Also catch Supertuner TV (the goofy twins), but they have such hard-ons for Toyoka & Honduh.

I don't get Top Gear here in VA, but have d/l'ed a bunch of 'em off KaZaA...

Oh, did i mention Mad Max?

Okay, Knight Rider in the fantasy category, but Top Gear in the factual shows. Magazine would have to go to Car. I wish MT, C&D, R&T and Autoweek would take a look at Car mag's photos. Top notch! The only US magazine that compares in visuals would be Automobile.
