Gearz? Seriously, I just saw the show for the first time, and that has to be the absolute worst logo I've ever seen for a show. It's nearly unreadable, and it looks like a tattoo a drunk frat guy gave to his passed out "bro" as a joke. I'm not graphic designer, but I'm pretty sure I could poop a better design.

Gearz. I love the show though. I saw a few episodes of him building the Banshee and I loved the car and the build. Look at that car and then go play GTA III and tell me that the car in that game by the same name is not EXACTLY what his creation is.

I liked him on trucks, ever since he left that show sucks. The WORST is Horsepower, it's just blatent lies and advertising, "we made 3hp on this camaro with new super fancy plugs!!!!" might have been those e3s but as far as i know 3hp is the variation between runs on a dynojet. I've only seen a few gears as it's only on speed at like 2 in the morning,

Gearz is okay, but Stacey David laughs and smiles almost as much as Barry Meguire...not quite as creepy though.

Horsepower has been like that for years. I think they must be cramming it full of promo stuff to pay for the other shows or something.

I loved one of the LS1 shows they did, they spent like a grand to get about 12 hp.

But does he put his hand on your knee like Barry does when he's doing a sit-down interview?

I agree that Trucks was better with Stacey, but the host I miss most is Lou from MuscleCar. That dude was funny and seemed to know what he was talking about, at least most of the time. Out of the Power Block shows the only one left that I even care to watch anymore is Xtreme 4X4. Ian does a good job at fabrication. I also miss Jesse too, just for the eye candy factor though. Chicks with welding skills get me hot......

I actually met her at SEMA last year (wow, she is very cute in person!). She's working freelance now.

I think there is a need for a GRM type show. There is a hole in the motorsports tv shows the exact size and shape of our demographic. Although it was a breath of fresh air to see Stacy put a V8 in a miata and he called it the modern day Cobra.

I am so sick of when Horsepower goes to the drag races. I turn the show of then. But if they are showing how they tune at the drag strip, I'll watch that, and I dont even like drag racing. (I am sure its fun for the drag racers but I could care less.)

What happened to Lou? Who's hosting MuscleCar now? I feel like I've been living in a cave.

Lou has been gone for a while Host are now some skinny kid (who makes stupid jokes about the age of his cohost) and the older dude that used to do the show with Lou sometimes I really enjoyed Lou. He is very talented.

Jesse Freelance?!! I think i saw her on one of those ESPN car shows, can't remember what though. What happened to her Extrem 4x4 contract? She was bad ass. They must not be paying well at Spike if freelance is better than a host gig...but I still see her in ads run on Spike. Which is strange. I guess they are trying to still capitalize off of her image.

If you want to find a mechanic who understands your vehicle, find one whose hairdo is correct for the era of the vehicle's manufacture. Add a few years to the tail end in the following states: MS, NJ & FL.

And their clothes. I fully expect to see him wearing a t-shirt with wolves on it, or some other cool iron-on.

Make fun of him all you want.

The guy knows his stuff and I'm pretty sure he's not on some internet forum talking about us!
