What car stuff do you watch / read?
I am always in search of decent car-related content to read or watch on TV. Let's share.
I watch:
-Car Fix (this is basically the exact same thing as the old show Muscle Car)
-Detroit Muscle (same thing, really)
-How It's Made: Supercars
-Street Outlaws (God help me, I love this terrible show)
I read:
-Jalopnik
-Autoblog
-This forum's car talk, obviously
-Car talk on form.miata.net
-Bring a Trailer (they showcase vintage and rare cars that are for sale on the web)
-The Truth About Cars (op-ed type content about the auto industry. Usually pretty insightful)
-MotoIQ (Billy on this site is a contributor over there, and they've got some good tech articles and great pics of race cars in various states of disassembly)
-Speedhunters (It's a bit too ricery for my taste, but they have some good stuff every now and then)
That's about all I got. If you guys can suggest any more sites with a Car Talk section or anything else, I'm all ears.

Do any of those have a car talk section?

YouTube Chris Harris and EVO videos. Vimeo car videos.
Reading EVO app or magazine. You have to pay but well worth it.
Theartinadogfight is a great site for following Japanese events

I only stream tv these days. So the only shows I watch are random items on youtube
For the rest
Grassroots Motorsports
SCCA Sportscar magazine
S2ki
Mnautox (local autosports club forum)
ystc (a scion forum I have been on for years since I own a scion)
Jalopnik
Bring a Trailer
I still get Car and driver and Road and TRack, but likely will not continue them. I rarely actually read them since it is 90% reviews on stuff I dont care about, like R&T reviewing frickin minivans and pickups or yet another Camaro vs Mustang, Corvette vs whatever way more expensive car it can outrun or M3 vs whatever comparo.

I broke free of most of that stuff but I recently started coming back here. I used to read Jalopnik religiously but I overdid it and had to back off of car stuff for a while. Picked up a new hobby so now I just hang out at the local cars and coffee and do stuff with the Norcal S2k group. I don't read much and I am sure my knowledge-base on car stuff is getting out of date but I am okay with it.
It's actually a lot more fun to get out and do stuff (drive, look at other peoples cars, talk to people, go places, eat) than sitting around reading about it/watching youtube. Recently went to Ferrari Challenge with some other S2K owners at Sonoma Raceway. I had a lot of fun besides getting sunburned, suffering from terrible allergies...
I did enjoy watching Top Gear though... Hopefully something will come along to replace it.

I used to read Jalopnik but their content has really sucked balls the last 6 to 12 months. Their stupid articles that went "why spend X amount on a new car when you can buy some crusty old (M3, M5, S4 etc)" pushed me over the edge.
