Assembling this list brought me to a realization;I need a life!

Thankfully, my FIOS DVR is programmed only to record new episodes, so the weekly volume of shows recorded is only about 20% of the list at most. I don't watch anything live, so tabbing through the commercial breaks on the DVR reduces a half-hour show to about 20 minutes.

Pretty much any of the shows on velocity and the powerblock on spike. Something that has been bugging me about many of the shows is that it seems many of them have just become half hour commercials for their sponsors. Many, not all seem to also just be a show about bolting on new or reproduction parts instead of restoring salvageable originals. Don't get me wrong reproductions/crate engines etc have their place, but its far more impressive to see real restorations.

I agree! That's why I enjoy watching wheeler dealers. Seems much more realistic and relatable. I also enjoy watching chasing classic cars and fast n loud. Velocity would have a hit if they made a US version of wheeler dealers that didn't involve bolting on the latest from edlebrock and from jegs.

Graveyard Cars gotta love the more power Mopars. He sticks strictly with Plymouth, Dodge and Chryslers.

After seeing all you guys lists I *KNOW* I spend too much time watching TV. (It's my biggest hobby, with surround sound and movies.) Because I watch everything listed and THEN SOME! I watch anything that's racing, bikes (both with and without a motor), cars, trucks, tricycles, I just don't care. If it's racing I'm watching it.

Car shows, I'm watching. Car repair, watching. Car building, painting, fixing or wrecking... watching. Top Gear I've seen um' all, going back to the early days on BBC. I even have a Jeremy Clarkson book! FWIW our version really needs some more ummmpfff, and really needs to bring back the "Big star in a small car" part.

Australian V8 Supercars are freaking awesome! NASCAR needs to pay attention there. When my Dad was younger they'd drive to Daytona, tape up the headlights, take off the hubcaps and mufflers then race on the beach. If the car was still running when it was over, they'd drive back to Atlanta. Stock in "stock cars" used to mean something.

Other than cars, music. Palladia is awesome btw.
