Haven't the last 3 episodes been repeats? When is the season finale?

The season consists of 13 espisodes... There where some repeats due to the 'mid-season break'. Keep in mind that these guys are traveling the country to make these shoots...

Definitely makes sense, I was just wondering if it was over or not because there's really nowhere to see what episodes are coming up or how many, and the description on the cable guide says the same thing for every episode.

When is the next new episode on?

Just catching a few minutes of a Ford GT / Saleen / Carrera GT / USMC episode and without a doubt this is one of the worst television shows I have ever seen.

And really much of the stuff that comes out of the so.cal section.

I liked it, always been a fan of those LCACs. Seems they want to compare everything to the CGT. Does anyone know if the S7 road car tried its hand at the Nuburgring North Loop record? I know the race was probably staged but its possible, isn't it?

Anyone know why the headlights were taped over on the silver CGT? I was thinking to contain the pieces should the CGT wreck but then why wasnt the Ford GT headlights taped?

Alex if you didnt catch the 10pm monday showing or the 6am tuesday showing theres one at 9:30pm saturday it seems.

My guess is that the CGT was being raced on the track with the Fords and the headlights were covered in racers tape to prevent a possible stone chip to the headlights. New headlight units for the CGT are uber-expensive and the racers tape offers cheap insurance.

I think all of those here criticizing the show need to lighten up a bit. Will the show go down in history alongside “Gone with the Wind” as a great American classic, of course not. But given that the show is produced in the good ol’ U.S.A., official home of NASCRAP, I think the show is a success and I enjoy watching it.

It is great to see a show about, or mostly about, European exotics here in the U.S.

BTW, my thanks to Alex and all of the others here who have allowed their cars to be filmed for the show.

Me too! After contributing to the USO, my family and I actually got a ride in one of those Beasts a couple of years ago - I sat where Tanner sat in the Pilots deck as well as below. The transition from terra firma to the ocean is so smooth. One could barely feel the transition.

What a great vehicle. Last year when we had fires in Santa Catalina Island, the LCACs brought Fire Engines and Fighters to the Island. Good use of tax payers' dollars in my book.
