I loved unique whips, and when they brought it to velocity I dvr’d and watched it religiously. Wish they wouldn’t have cancelled it

[@saviordream]

The 2000s were when I first really started getting into cars, especially the import scene. While I watched a bunch of build shows, I think my favorite was Tuner Transformation on the Speed Channel. Focused mainly on the sport compact scene, but they seemed to care more about performance than they did about the looks or crazy body kits that a lot of the shows relied on. They had those too, but my favorite episodes were the ones where they just tried to build a faster, better handling car. Really wish that show was still on...

[@クラウススタジオプロダクション]

still better series than tv shows now

[@BrianLTU]

Agreed

[@nicholaslavoie6008]

Rust valley restorers is a really good show I’m just waiting for season 2

[@CarswithNash]

Nicholas Lavoie I enjoy it but they don’t show enough of the actual work being done to the cars.

[@nicholaslavoie6008]

Matt's Garage yeah true but still really like them

[@vikingbluesbreaker729]

I honestly dont think there will be another season, the only entertainment is the idiot who just says dumb shit and breaks things, after seeing him on tv i wouldnt want anything that they build or fix...and i think he ended up in the negative didnt he?

Anyone remember there was a show on I think the DIY network that modified cars? I remember them showing you how to do a rear disc conversion on the 6th gen Civic hatchback.

Yes me too. can actually learn something. Ed China was pretty good at fixing almost anything. The new guy Ant is ok I guess.

[@noobinator9854]

Yup, although havent watched the show with the new guy who replaced Ed China. Some of the auto channels on KZbin are great too.

Even the French version of it is cool, and for some random reason I live 300m away from where it's shot.

One word, black people/culture had a big influence in the 2000s

[@edwardkelly3280]

Honestly every race had some influence in car culture Asians had Tuner scene and Fast and Furious Blacks had Pimp My Ride and DUB magazine Whites had Monster Garage and Truck s Hispanics had Low Riders

In reference to the to early cars of the 2000s looking wacky in general: The 2001 BMW 325 looked great VS it’s Audi rival and other cars in its class.
