It’s common knowledge that some automotive reality shows are disappointing. Whether it’s fake drama, problems that are wrapped up too easily, or annoying personalities, it’s hard to find a good old car show. There are a few good ones out there, but you have to dig.
We’re looking ahead to 2017 and working on new builds, challenges and features. V8 swaps, track days, a rally car build and simple stuff like learning how to do bodywork and paint are all on our list. It’s impossible to make everyone happy, but we can try to make something that we know we would watch.
What would you have in your idea of a perfect automotive show?

Oh, there’s no way to make a “perfect” automotive show. Way too many possible angles to do them all justice.
But one aspect of cars that I don’t see televised enough (outside of motorsport, anyway) is driving technique. One of Initial D ’s greatest strengths was its focus on precision driving. And I get the same “thrill” if you will, from gymkhana videos and parking lot maneuver competitions like this and this . Makes me want to grab my keys, get out there, and git gud .

More normal cars doing stupid fun things. You can only see so many Lamborghinis or super powerful GRC cars before you start to yawn. I’d like to see someone take a gosh darned factory fresh Camry and race it as hard as possible. Maybe put it up against a Mirage just for shifts and giggles.

i love the ridiculous honesty of roadkill. how they show the idea, underway, and then not a minute later they show it falling apart, and tell you “yeah, we might have not thought that through too far”.....not afraid to fail......

Totally. Yeah, working on my own driving skills is something I really want to get after this year.

That would be awesome. Yeah it’s funny how many people review super cars that no one will ever drive
