101 Cars You Must Drive - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I have to say something about this show...

I hate it, yet I still find myself watching it (for the cars) when I see it on.. the guy who hosts it doesn't have any idea what he's talking about when it comes to cars... he just spouts out information that people give him (and a lot of it is wrong). He featured the VW Beetle at one point and pretty much everything he said I disagreed with.

Also, it's about cars you MUST drive, but there have been at least 2 instances where they've told you you must drive some car that they've only built one prototype of, it's sitting in a museum somewhere, and he doesn't even drive it himself.

WTF is the deal?

beautifulvixen · 08-27-2008, 02:51 PM

the dude-- Alonzo Bodden-- is a comedian. An odd choice, since a show like this is a little out of his element.

and p.s.-- useless fact: his daily drivers are a hummer and a mini. huh.

So...do we just break in and take it for a drive? What an idiot. If that's the case, that car shouldn't have even made it on such a list!

frosti108 · 08-27-2008, 06:08 PM

What? lol. Punctuation works wonders. Also.. Retart? Please tell me that was a joke too.. it's "Retard"
Not trying to be the grammer nazi but damn lol.
I haven't seen the show but from what everyone has been saying, i'd rather not..

beautifulvixen · 08-28-2008, 08:22 AM

i believe this Alonzo dude was the one who won in the 3rd season of 'Last Comic Standing'? and... I think he was in 'Girl next door'... a long way from cars, if you ask me.

CHAOS · 08-28-2008, 08:40 AM

he was a runner up IIRC... either way he does a solid job of hosting.

jdm free · 08-28-2008, 10:27 AM

i thought it was good until i saw the rx8 as one of them to drive

CHAOS · 08-28-2008, 10:37 AM

It is only an rx8, its nothing special. If it were an rx7, that would be a different story.

CHAOS · 08-28-2008, 10:59 AM

the rx8 is a great car... 50/50 weight distribution, the small rear door thing... and the revival of the rotary in main stream cars.

lownslow95 · 08-28-2008, 11:04 AM

It is a great lookin car, but I wouldn't think it should be one of the 101 Cars You Must Drive.

SLDWYSJDM · 08-28-2008, 02:05 PM

this show is horrible I want to strangle alonzo everytime I watch it.

olmytsi · 08-28-2008, 04:22 PM

I like Tanner Foust's show. Anyone see the episode where they street raced all kinds of high end cars on an airport strip? The one 996 turbo was 1000hp.....thing was flying.
