carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-10-22 16:43	Apparently, this show has an IMDB page, but it's rather blank with very little information listed.

carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-10-22 21:18	By the way, there was at least one car you missed, a certain yellow Volkswagen with black stripes that's become a bit of a Jalopnik icon.

carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-10-22 22:40	There were a few cars placed on the track, apparently they're used as obstacles during the race. Forth thumbnail can be removed once the pages are approved, since it's the front of /vehicle_1078298.html, which is a Saturn SW. /vehicle_1078296.html (found this great side view of the car on Google: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ATtF11h-Zqs/maxresdefault.jpg) and /vehicle_1078289.html are both Chevrolet Cavaliers, if I recall properly, so is the third thumbnail. Next to last thumbnail has another Chevrolet Cavalier, a Plymouth/Dodge Neon, and at least two Nissan Sentra [B13]s, plus the already mentioned Pacifica. The side-by-side utility vehicle with the flag is a Kawasaki Mule. In the thumbnail with the Super Duty tow truck, there's ANOTHER Cavalier (silver coupe), Honda CR-V (red), and a nice white Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer. The school bus can be seen here on Google Street View: Link to "www.google.com" It's a GMC, and it's been sitting in the same spot for years, that image is from 2016, and an earlier view from 2012 shows it was there then, too. -- Last edit: 2017-10-22 22:46:24
carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-10-25 04:28	Episode 2 trailer is out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1cy9asq5Fo This week features a 1991 Yugo GV Plus (Link to "jalopnik.com") vs a 1974 Volkswagen Typ 1 that's had it's engine swapped (making it the second Beetle to appear in as many episodes of this show, except this one has an actual part in it).
carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-10-26 04:59	Cars featured in Ep.2: - 1991 Yugo GV Plus (3 stars) - 1974 Volkswagen [Typ 1] (3 stars) - 2013+ Nissan NV200 NYC Taxi (2 stars) - 2016+ Toyota RAV4 Hybrid NYC Taxi (2 stars) - 2011+ Dodge Grand Caravan (1 or 2 stars, it's the camera vehicle that follows Mike's Yugo, and can be seen behind it in some interior shots) - 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan [Typ AD1] (1 star, not really featured, but it's BRAND NEW and has a major frontal shot in traffic in front of the Yugo, might be worth listing for the fact that it is brand new, wouldn't be the first AD1 on the site, but it would be the first US-spec one) - BMW M1 (2 stars) - Lancia Delta S4 Stradale (2 stars) - Lancia 037 Stradale (2 stars) Plus, there were a LOT of random traffic and junkyard cars seen as well.
CougarTim ◊ 2017-10-26 05:30	More 1* from Ep. 1.01: 1996 Cadillac DeVille (model year chalked on rear window) & F-Series Ford Mustang Chrysler Pacifica More junkyard beauty shots The junkyard arranges its inventory by manufacturer/country of origin. 1. Upper left and center are German cars (looks like mostly Mercedes-Benz and BMW), upper and lower right are Chrysler products, lower left and center are Nissans 2. The three upper blocks from #1, plus a block of Toyotas on the right 3. Mazdas on the left (red wagon is a Mazda Protege5), Hondas on the right (white sedan is a 1996-1998 Acura TL) 4. Same as #3, plus the Toyotas from #2 -- Last edit: 2017-10-26 06:06:34
carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-11-01 03:02	Link to "jalopnik.com" Episode 3 preview, airing, as usual, at 8pm EST and PST. Only one vehicle shown in this 3 minute preview, a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor bodied 'Tuff Truck'. This one, in particular: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m2GBJ18jK3Q/maxresdefault.jpg
michail2003 ◊ 2017-11-01 12:52	carcrasher88 wrote Episode 2 trailer is out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1cy9asq5Fo Will it appear in YT?
carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-11-01 14:32	The episode itself? Probably not. Fusion's site only has the first full episode available, last week's isn't even up. Not sure if they plan to add the rest eventually or not.

carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-11-02 15:00	Episode 3 vehicles: - Blue 2012 Jeep Wrangler (3 stars) - Ford F-150 Raptor Tuff Truck (started as a '79 Bronco, apparently, 3 stars) - A bunch of Jeeps (Wranglers, Grand Cherokees, Cherokees, etc.) - One of those Jeeps, a black Cherokee [XJ] (3 stars) - Green Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (2 stars) - Various Tuff Trucks (Broncos, Blazers, a 1999 Kia Sportage, F-150s, Chevrolet Colorados, buggies, etc.)
michail2003 ◊ 2017-11-02 15:09	If only the episodes was at 123solarmovies...
CougarTim ◊ 2017-11-03 00:16	Episode 2 is up on Fusion's site now. I've started making captures.
carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-11-03 04:10	So, it seems they're gonna be putting them on the site a week after they first air on TV. Makes sense.

CougarTim ◊ 2017-11-03 16:38	Episode 2: New York City As cc88 noted, there were a lot more traffic and background cars; I only grabbed the ones that I thought were interesting or noteworthy. 0121 NYPD Ford C-Max Hybrid 0125 New York DLE9673 on CarFax: 2010 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ GLS/LIMITED 0132 Kia Niro - First one 'in the wild'; worth a page? 0142 New Jersey 2423NYP on CarFax: 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA/S/LE (LE trim badge visible) 0205 Tesla Model X 0237 New York 8L19A on CarFax: 2014 TOYOTA PRIUS V 0413 New Jersey ZXF30S on CarFax: 2010 HONDA ACCORD LX (in background for extended sequence) 0604 Mercedes-Benz Metris still uncommon on our site 0922 Infiniti FX35 on left, on right New York DGE3639 on CarFax: 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY LE/XLE/SE Willets Point: 1441 Kubota RTV 1451 Nissan Rogue & Honda Accord 1454 Cadillac SRX & Jaguar X-Type 1457 Toyota Matrix 1526 New York 22039MK on CarFax: 2017 FREIGHTLINER M2 106 MEDIUM DUTY 1529 Chevrolet Trailblazer 1557 Jeep Grand Cherokee [WK]; what's somewhat worrying is Texas FPG9669 on CarFax is a 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA LT 1629 Volkswagen Passat & McNeilus-bodied refuse truck 1818 Honda Insight Boro Taxi 1822 smart fortwo 1824 2013+ Honda Civic Si 1933 Mitsubishi Fuso box truck ranks one-and-a-half stars; oncoming traffic when the Beetle made a passing maneuver 1951 2017+ Chrysler Pacifica 2021 New York T690119C on CarFax: 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY LE/XLE/SE/XSE - I've never seen a New York plate with this digit format 2114 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Toyota Rav4, 2005-2007 Chrysler Town & Country long wheelbase 2116 Honda Accord Boro Taxi 2126 Chevrolet Chevy Van with license plate ROX5997 but I don't recognize which state it's from. -- Last edit: 2017-11-03 17:33:02
carcrasher88 ◊ 2017-11-03 22:21	28 Hyundai Veracruz models on the site, might be worth listing. The Niro is definitely worth listing, similar to the Tiguan already listed. Sadly, as otherwise worthy as the Model X is of a page, the image is too blurry. Not many Kubota RTVs on the site, might be worth a page. The ForTwo and Pacifica MAY be worth a page, given how new they are, but I'd leave those up for debate for now.
michail2003 ◊ 2017-11-05 09:43	1.03 is currently on a website,but I can't watch it

The episode involves the guys spectating a school bus demolition derby and retracing the route of the Vanderbilt Cup in a RHD Toyota MR2. - Various school buses (ranging from 1 to 3 stars) - Toyota MR2 Turbo (RHD, imported from Japan, 3 stars) - '48 Tucker (1 star) - 1909 Alco Six (3 stars) ...and various random traffic vehicles, etc.
