Default New TV Show: "Rides" on TLC

Guys,
There's a new show on the learning channel tonight. I think it's on at 8, but it could be 9 PM.

It's called "RIDES" - hosted by Jason Priestly. I think they do Hot Rods, but they might also be doing musclecars.

Just a heads-up!

Gotta Agree. That new shelby is "sweeeeeet". Although I am a chevy man to the core, you gotta give it to ford. They are positioned to rule the muscle car market, such as it is. Now, if we could just get chevy to produce a 05 camaro based on the 69 with that ZZ502...........

I thought that new cobra was butt ugly, way too boxy looking.

Perhaps I missed it. I was in a drooling stupor when they rolled it off the truck. Did they say who owns the 1st Cobra? Do I assume Shelby has it?

I thought the show was excellent. It took us inside the workings of a major auto manufacturer and the process of developing a new car from scratch.

I agree Ford is doing it right. They are building exciting cars like the new Mustang, 500HP GT40, and now the 600HP new Cobra. They are also keeping connections to the legends like Carroll Shelby. I think Chevy could learn some valuable lessons from Ford in this regard.

I would love to see them bring back the Camaro but not like they did with the GTO.
