Tori has revived the Mythbusters name on Motortrend. Called Motor Mythbusters and focuses on cars (duh.) I'm in the second episode and it's pretty good. Only one myth per show, lots of fabrication, good chemistry. I like the fabricator woman a lot, not sure about the British guy who was a pro driver. Anyone else watching it?

Really enjoyed Tori growing up watching Mythbusters. Techy racer boy...meh.. maybe he'll come around and the girl from all girls garage fits in way better with the Mythbusters gig. Hopefully the vehicle variant does well. Truthfully Engine Masters has been beautifully testing vehicle myths since the beginning 10/10 EM is amazing, well done, good chemistry, so interesting. 

 

Motor Mythbusters nitpic:

Turbo episode,  notice how the "junkyard boat turbo" magically becomes a turbonetics turbo thats painted to look old... 

I get it, it needs to work and be "Hollywood" but come on.

Nothing is more scripted than "reality" television.

I know the world is on a "girls rock" kick, but I'm gonna be honest. I can't stand this lady. She is a fraud. Her "on screen personality" is not who she really is. And I know a lot of that is MTOD's doing. I cancelled my MTOD sub last month. They've gone way down hill, to the point that I told them personally that they have become speed network.

Faye is weird, but I really do like her.

The guy is Bisi of "Bisimoto."  They build some cool stuff.

Can you elaborate?  I don't have feelings about her either way, but am curious if you have some sort of inside information.

I am also curious for an elaboration on this. I'm not a huge fan of her more scripted (motortrend) stuff but I do think she has that goofy/bubbly personality in real life. Her YouTube channel has a pretty interesting series where she works with a machinist rebuilding her 6M for her Supra. 

I just want them to use the way back machine to find "builds" posted by 17-26 year olds from 1995-2004ish that never seemed to bring their car out in public and never had photos of said builds. 

 

I want to see them actually build vehicles to the spec list that these infancy semi-trolls would post to see if they'd actually work, make power and not blow up.

I thought speed network was amazing.

Bisi is insane. 1k hp hondas, to twins on a 911 or cayman, to his new EV 935 clone...

Faye is mint on instagram but still needs to be scripted as she has not hit her persona yet. Watch anything she does with Supras and you will see her shine.
