    The show is dead.

    Per Matt's Facebook:

    R.I.P The Car Show. On to bigger and hopefully much better things (that I have actual control over to make sure they are good)
    And Autoblog:

    http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/07/t...-is-cancelled/

    I think we all saw this coming. I don't blame any of the host, I blame the producers and Speed. Who, apparently, have no idea WTF they are doing.

    YAY!, this show sucked my Bal**,saw this comming months ago, Adam Carolla killed this show, he is an unfunny pretentious prick that can't change his own oil, any show he was involved in was doomed to die....just my 2 cents.

    He built the engine for his motorcycle in his room when he was a kid.

    Its a great shame, the show had lots of potential and was getting better and better. As mentioned, the producers fucked it up and should together with TedBell be taken outside and shot in front of their families.

    OK, your accusation is still wrong.

    Honestly, I can't say I'm all that disappointed. I always enjoyed The Smoking Tire more than The Car Show anyway. Adam never really shined, his jokes were usually a bit forced and half the time he drove a car, he crashed and the segment ended without a real conclusion. I never did like Dan, he came off as pretentious and arrogant. John had a couple good segments before he left, but not much.

    I guess it's a shame, but only because they made such a mess of it from the beginning.

    Good show in concept, but hampered by shitty producers who didn't get their target audience. Every segment was way too short, and edited down to nothing.

    Speed would have done better by showing The Smoking Tire episodes.

    Don't worry, you can say "Ballk" [sic] in front of complete strangers here on the Internet.
