What show got you into cars & trucks? 📺🏁

[RealTruck]

Maybe I'm just getting old , but it feels like there used to be a lot more automotive shows that you'd actually look forward to watching.

Growing up, I loved watching Pinks. Something about two guys showing up, racing what they brought, and potentially losing their car made that show awesome. I also remember watching shows like Overhaulin', Monster Garage, American Chopper and all the weekend automotive shows.

It got me thinking, what automotive show did you guys grow up watching that helped get you into cars and trucks?

And what's one that you wish they'd bring back?

Drop yours below Bonus points if it's one I've completely forgotten about.

Lizard lick towing. Nah I'm jk, but honestly probably more inspiration came from video games like gran turismo and grid, or forza too. Need for speed games also!
