On "Test Drive," motorheads and speed demons of all descriptions put the world's most buzzworthy cars through their paces. Why waste time cruising from one auto dealer to the next when some celebrity or NASCAR driver will test-drive all your favourite cars on television? You can go zero to 190 in your bathrobe, and you don't even need proof of insurance. Every week, "Test Drive" takes a test-worthy vehicle out onto the proving grounds, puts the pedal to the metal, and shows what happens. In recent episodes, "Test Drive" aggressively has challenged auto makers' and advertisers' claims about the performance characteristics of new products from General Motors: Is the new and improved Corvette as sporty and buffed-up as it seems? Does the new Cadillac live-up to its billing as the world's fastest production sedan and remain true to its Cadillac heritage. Is "Buick turbo" an oxymoron after all? By no means biased toward any nation's wheeled goods, "Test Drive" also has challenged the notions of "naughty Volvo" and "BMW high-performance diesel." Best of all, the television guys neatly outfitted in gloves, glasses, and fireproof suits, push, test, and punish the glitzy gas-gulping machines more than you ever could with the wife and kids in the back seat.

The Beach Boys composed the anthem, singing, "If that ain't enough to make you flip your lid, just one more thing"”I got the pink slip, Daddy." In California, "the pink slip" was the DMV's proof of title to the car. When hot-rodders drag-raced "for pinks," the winner took home the loser's car"”free and clear. Often deadly, always flagrantly illegal, in the Beach Boys' era, racing for pinks held at least as hallowed a place in the So Cal culture as long boards, buffalo plaid, and blondes. Speed Channel thoughtfully has reprised the winner-take-all drags on "Pinks" and "Pinks, All Out." "Pinks" does not provide a venue for "rice rockets" a la remakes of and sequels to The Fast and the Furious. Only American muscle cars need apply, and the drivers race by the "old school" rules"”no electronic timing or photo finishes. Usually burning up the quarter mile at closed, legal drag strips, competitors put the pedal to the metal until one wins three of five races and claims the precious pink.

Every week on "SuperCars Exposed" TV show Tanner Foust and Louise Brady take eager viewers into the turbo-charged, jaw-droppingly pricey world of exotic cars. "SuperCars Exposed" TV series make it clear, however, how belittling and insulting it is to call these works of art "cars" or "automobiles." The names--Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis"”are eponyms for masterworks of metal and internal combustion. Clearly, it is good to be Tanner Foust and Louise Brady. The list of "SuperCars Exposed" episodes reads like a list of adolescent boys' fantasies: Tanner Foust pilots a Lamborghini Gallardo down the California coastline; then, Tanner Foust puts the petal to the metal in an Audi R8, flying over the Alps and then gives drifting lessons as he pushes a Ferrari 599 GTB down the Autobahn. Taking time out from driving for a little serious wrenching, Tanner Foust devotes some time to exposing the SuperCars, learning how to tune the newest top-of-the-line Porsches. Then, he drives an Aston Martin around Nurburgring. Finally, Louise Brady gets to do something besides narrate and comment, taking a turn behind the wheel of Mercedes-Benz performance cars.
