I saw an episode of "Players parking only" on the weekend. Awful, just awful.

The guy, kept referring to a new Ford GT as a GT40.

I don't have big expectations. Speed channel is pretty bad any more, this show seems pretty casual to me.

Adam Carolla is funny as hell, pretty sure it should be fine ... He's an enthusiast also.

I'm super excited for it because of Matt Farah from YouTube's The Smoking Tire, he's a true true car guy. And the concept of the show is to get 4 men from different perspectives all talking about cars. Should be better than Top Gear USA.

I know he's a car enthusiast and can be pretty funny, I guess we'll find out soon enough if the show is worthwhile or not.

I think that just based on who is on the show, this has more potential than TGA.Though I would have preferred to see Foust in this somewhere. I have not been a huge fan of the last several shows that Foust has done, but that is due more to writing than Foust.

I will give it a shot, just like I gave TG:USA a shot.

I do have to say that I think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations on how quickly chemistry is worked out. Granted poor chemistry can be picked up on pretty quickly, but good chemistry often takes years to perfect timing and character traits to emphasize in order to make a good show.

I always thought the comparisons of the TG-USA cast to the TG:UK cast were comical. How long have the UK guys had to work it out? And you expect the US guys to have that right out of the box? Why???

But I digress...

All in all, I am just happy to see another seemingly high quality car show on American soil. Considering the horrible "car shows"e they have been peddling here in the past, there are worse things then having TG:USA and TCS on DVR.
