Top Gear did a piece on it...not even close to what is all involved.

It's cool being able to nest quotes .Anybody watching Truck Night In America? Fairly low level stuff but the Thursday episode was excellent, featuring megabuild no-compromise rigs pushed hard on a particularly difficult and varied course. Watch the top two that dominate all the way to the end. Amazing builds and machines. Seeing that 3/4 ton regularly get air and be hammered hard was super super impressive; some huge hits. And lots of eye candy for Jeep lovers. The episode is called Grudge Match (but my TV provider is currently mislabeling it as Old vs New).

Really impressive and entertaining.
TNIA is a fantastic show. Albeit the hosts are a little annoying.
Love watching a show that pulls no punches and legit tries to destroy those rigs.
Extra points for the guys and girls on that show that go balls out and ruin their stuff.
...makes me realize my Jeep is woefully under-modded and would look much better on a 5" lift and 37's
I had a good eye; those two rigs on the episode I first mentioned here were really impressive. No TNIA episode since has come close to approaching them. Great episode.
On a related note, anyone interested into this type of extreme vehicle enthusiast stuff should check out Shifting Gears with Aaron Kaufman. Former GM guy now pushing the envelope of more enthusiast builds that are slower, extreme and extensive on his own new show. Their recent episode 2 of season 1, "King of the Hammers" is excellent. The previous episode on the build is great too, but this recent episode is about one of the most impressive off-road races in the world today. It combines extreme desert racing with extreme rock crawling into a concurrently timed extreme endurance event (165 miles in 14 hrs). Definitely check out King of the Hammers in youtube video searches. Great episode and amazing. Some serious 6 to 7 figure full custom built rigs for the extreme. And most still don't finish.
This show has great potential. It's just starting its first season.
Cheers
Lost in space was pretty decent. And damn it Will Robinson, why do you keep screwing everything up!
I stopped watching shows on netflix....sometimes i work from home and its far too distracting.
Yep. .. it was getting worse and worse every season untill now. Enjoying it and looking forward to the finaleHomeland is really really good this season. Building up to a great finale.
Hmm just started to watch legion....kinda weird too artisty for my taste, like american gods, didn't really take to that either.
Near the end of episode 1 it got better though...
Couldn't get past the first episode of legion. Hate psychotic type shows. Same as Mr. Robot. Started off so well, but lost me once the crazy kicked in.
The Expanse and Westworld are back! Gotta start catching up on the new seasons. Going to binge watch the last 5 episodes of The Terror first.
Mr. Robot is amazing, give it another shot down the road.
Ah, I tried a few times already, just couldn't get back into it. Perhaps, I'll attempt to re-watch it from the beginning in a few years. A lot of other shows keeping me company for now.Mr. Robot is amazing, give it another shot down the road.
