Default 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.

MotoIQ and Jalopnik/OppositeLock are my favs. Also post on RX7club, ft86club, and Zilvia.

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 I don't read much and I am sure my knowledge-base on car stuff is getting out of date but I am okay with it.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.

YouTube when bored/tired. Most channels mentioned above other than Electric Federal, he does videos infrequently but they are usually interesting/unique.

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.
