!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
in hiatus to eventually return as the Grand Tour we are at a lack for quality automotive themed television programming. To resolve this I suggest we all propose our own dream car shows. I’ll go first.
Mine would be hosted by Doug Demuro, Ezra Dyer, and Murilee Martin. Nobody would be able to figure out which one is Doug and which one is Ezra and everybody would wonder who the bearded guy is standing around on set while waiting for this Murilee chick to show up. They would have a mysterious tame racing driver with an anonymous identity who would later reveal himself to be Peter Egan. Lastly would be a Mad Money themed segment on what classic car to invest in hosted by Bob Lutz.
What’s your dream car show?

I once had a cool idea for a car show: Take one car per season, then race it in a bunch of very different disciplines throughout the season. Start with autocross, move on to endurance, rally, drag, etc. Half the show would be about how to modify the car for this week’s event/fix it from last week’s, and the other half would be about the drivers learning to race that event.

Truth in 24 the docu-series, covering Le Mans 24, Nurburgring 24, Spa 24, and America’s Endurance Sportscar Racing Triple Crown (Daytona, Sebring, Petit Le Mans). One LMP1/DPi team, one LMP2/PC team, one GTE team, two GT3 teams to document for the whole race season, doesn’t matter if they win or lose. Jason Stathan narrates, but we need two more to share the load.

I’m thinking a TG USA style show hosted by Torchinsky, Orlove, and DeMuro. It would be the three of them participating in absurd challenges with cars. The challenges would be idiotic and prove nothing, but be humorous, similar to Orlove’s cross country Beetle drive, DeMuro’s stupid shit in expensive car videos, etc. Torchinsky could have a segment where he drives a classic car from the Lane Motor Museum, Orlove could have one where he wrenches on his Bugs, and DeMuro one where he reviews new cars, similar to his current videos.

That would be awesome, but it might drag as the show goes on.

I liked Lost in Transmission while that was on. Rutledge is severely underrated.

Orlove should have his own show. The outtakes from his visit to The Quail was one of the greatest things ever.

I’m pretty sure Torch is America’s James May.

. . . . does that make DeMuro Clarkson?

Yeah, it would definitely need to be mixed up season to season. You’d always need one really oddball event, like hypermiling or rock crawling, but it would need to change season to season. And it couldn’t go on forever.
Start by listing out all the different events it could possibly enter, then grab the 5 or 6 most dissimilar from each other.

OR you modify the same car to do a different event each episode!

I’ve been pondering that and I’d say yes. Demuro is Clarkson and Orlove is Hammond.

This needs to fucking happen. Do you think we could persuade Patrick George to make this a Youtube show?

TG US style. Just buying random cars and doing random things.
Host....Matt Farah and the entire cast of parks and recreation.

Any show that they would let me host.
Also, a Junkyard Wars style show that only built cars to race/smash/float/tow/etc.

Well I’d like to see Junkyard Wars revived. Maybe with a different spin. Give each team a budget they have to use to buy a car from Craigslist. Then let them lose in the junkyard.
Or, if you want a different show, you can model it similar to a Top Gear challenge. Every episode you give the hosts a minimal budget, and a genre they have to buy. 70's American, small pickups, etc. Then they do challenges with these vehicles, but they also have to fix them on the way. At the end of the episode they have to sell the vehicles for charity so whoever makes the most money, wins. You would need guys who know how to fix stuff for this one. So maybe Stacey David, Christopher Titus, and Grant Imahara

Yeah Tanner was a little too “Yeah EXTREME SPORTS!” for me and Adam should be a supporting actor in a modern (read: straight to Netflix) Adam Sandler movie...

I’m pretty sure Jalopnik’s annual budget is three boxes of cracker jacks, a case of ramen, five three liters of diet Fresca, two spools of thread, a tomato pin cushion with three needles, fifty gallons of 10W30, and $12.57 so I don’t see this happening anytime soon.
