Synopsis

Top Gear co-host and automotive aficionado, Rutledge Wood and his friend and fellow car fanatic, George Flanigen, are on a mission: to rescue America’s greatest rides from barns and backyards across the South. Together Rutledge and George will comb the garages of America to rescue the under-appreciated examples of automotive styling that time forgot, fix them up and get them back on the road. Their journey will take them off the beaten track, where they will get lost in local traditions, meet eccentric characters, and discover the heart of American car culture. Two friends on the ultimate road trip saving America’s greatest, weirdest and coolest cars.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
osejr I enjoy this show a lot. The dialogue is entertaining, the cars are interesting (not just more Camaros & Mustangs), and the show focuses on doing something good for someone who deserves it. The only episode I didn't enjoy was the first because the owner was really bizarre and obviously stoned on serious chemicals and maybe didn't deserve it... (?). I like the fact that they solve problems without the excessive drama, and keep the whole vibe fun and positive. I do wish we'd see a little more of Rut and George doing the actual work, like the tear down on the Eagle and the VW Jetta Truck. All in all, funny and entertaining.
jfchristy This a good show that I enjoy watching. I love the obscure vehicles that get chosen! Many great cars are forgotten about because they weren't popular. A huge part of history would be lost if only the most popular cars were saved and restored.I enjoy the banter between Rutledge and George. I also enjoy that they incorporate the entire community into the show! You get to see the mechanic friend that runs Kenwood's garage, the guy that runs the body shop and Oliver that runs the local junkyard. I do wish that we got to see some other junkyards and part scavenging that goes on. I wish it came on earlier and spent more time actually seeing the process of restoring the cars. They try to cram too much into a short amount of time.
pdbenson-00594 This isn't a show that's going to overly educate you on automotive history. You WILL come away with a little more knowledge on the car of the day. The first show featured a DeLorean, the second show featured a Volkswagon Thing. Anyone who has owned a DeLorean or Thing will enjoy going down memory lane. Lost in Transmission is a show families can watch together. A buddy show. A show about friendship. Hanging out with the guys. Lighthearted. Don't we need more shows like this and less shows like The Kardashian's? It does come on late for family viewing but you can always set the DVR. Grab some popcorn and enjoy. As for one of the other reviews I never thought the hosts were Rednecks. I live in the south and I know firsthand what a redneck sounds and looks like.
jon-16211 It's kind of a small time Top Gear. It has a lot of talk, very little car involvement. In the premier, the completed car sort of emerges. No wrenching, no actual car depth. There is a lot of banter between the hosts, mostly inane quips, weak jokes. So not really car talk, and a lot of it. Maybe it was done just to introduce the characters, but wouldn't that happen anyway? Using a premise of a "rare car rescue" this show did not deliver. It was more like " hey there's a car you don't see every day" and then " hey look, the car is done!" I know they Had to start somewhere, but I think this bombed. I think fans are savvy enough to spot the utterly phony stuff.
