1 | Imagine if Creator/{{ABC}} designed a GameShow based off DrivesLikeCrazy. Okay, now make contestants HotBlooded throw in some CarFu, add a little [[Series/{{Wipeout2008}} Wipeout]], and sprinkle liberally with [[MadeOfExplodium exploding]] [[EveryCarIsAPinto cars]]. |

3 | Yeah, it's ''that'' kind of a show. |

5 | Each show begins with five teams of two competing in various driving competitions. Basically, take every vehicle trope that exists, make it absurdly awesome, and make it a Crash Course event. Teams get eliminated until two remain, which take on an obstacle course to race for $50,000. Hosts Orlando Jones and Dan Cortese provide snarky commentary. |

7 | It's either SoBadItsGood, awesome, or just insane car-related entertainment. Whatever you call it, it was the "''Wipeout'' Lead-Out With a [[OneSeasonWonder Slim Chance of Returning Next Season]]". |

9 | !!This show provides examples of: |
10 | * BadassDriver: How many drivers can say they've successfully chased after a speeding semi, dodged falling barrels, then drove up the ramp and boarded the truck? |
11 | * CaptainCrash: Apparently contestants have driving licenses. It's hard to tell with some of them. |
12 | * CarFu: Car Dominoes, anyone? |
13 | * CatchPhrase: Orland is desperately trying to make "Two reds and a green" one. |
14 | * CoolCar: Well, not exactly. The cars ''are'' modified with roll cages and lots of reinforcement, though. |
15 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Those who don't end up becoming a BadassDriver do this. |
16 | * DontTryThisAtHome: Repeated ad naseum in case some moron decides to roll a car for fun. |
17 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: Orlando had a "showmance" with one couple that never stopped smiling. |
18 | * EveryCarIsAPinto: Purposely used. They love making cars "explode" with the magic of gasoline. |
19 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Besides the show's name, most of the games work this way. Like Car Bowling. |
20 | * IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: One contestant purposely drove off a truck ramp in attempt to flip his car. He nearly took out a few workers and a camera on a golf cart. |
21 | * MadeOfExplodium: They probably spend half their budget on pyrotechnics. |
22 | * RampJump: All over the place, including the flip-your-car-upside-down-stunt-ramp variant. |
23 | * SerialEscalation: How many cars will they crash? How many things will go up in flames? How many crazy drivers will drive their passenger to tears? |
24 | * ThoseTwoGuys: That's kinda what Orlando and Dan are there for. |
