Cars: what are they? Are they just rooms we control with our hands and our feet and our hearts, or are they something... more? Furthermore, America: is it just an ideal we will never truly live up to, or an actual place, sandwiched between Canada and Mexico? No one can say. But if there’s anything that will have…
Listen: we get it. We know you have lots of options when it comes to TV these days. Some might even say there are too many shows! But we at Jalopnik know you are craving a car show that’s in touch with real, grassroots car culture, and Car vs. America aims to be that show.
They say young people don’t care about cars anymore. They say the culture is dying. They say human driving doesn’t even have a future. You, the Jalopnik community of readers, know that isn’t true.

It is physically impossible to watch every episode of every good TV show. Yet we actually feel guilty for not keeping up with our shows. “Did you see Better Call Saul?” your friend asks; “Oh no, sorry, I’m a few episodes behind,” you say, like you’re letting everyone down.

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond brought car culture into millions of lives with over 20 seasons of the BBC’s Top Gear.

There are exactly two types of TV shows about cars: sensationalized “build” dramas set to slow-motion footage of sparks, and Top Gear knockoffs. The latter “boy’s trip” motif tends to be a little more bearable so I’m excited to see what my friends have in store for the third season of /Drive on NBC Sports.
