Rides: Season 03 (2005)
Synopsis of Rides: Season 03
Some of America's greatest custom-car designers are introduced to the Great Viewing Audience by actor and driving enthusiast Jason Priestley in Season Three of the cable documentary series Cars. The opener is "Hollywood Hotrods", a visit to the customizing shop of Troy Ladd, who tests out a pair of new twin roadsters along the hills of Tinseltown. Next up, Troy Trepanier redesigns a 1970 Barracuda for the host of Fear Factor in "Joe Rogan's Sick Fish". In "Hammer", Steve Strope explains the meaning of MOPAR to the unitiated. Chip Foose, the customizing genius who appeared in the series' very first episode, is back with the "prototype kings" from Five Axis, all of whom tackle a luxurious Cadillac in "The XLR". The next episode is "Tonight's Ride", or "You Knew That Jay Leno Would Appear on This Series Eventually" (and Jay's got his own custom Toronado in the bargain!) Then, the billionaire Herbst brothers get down 'n' dirty in a high-speed race along the California-Mexico peninsula in "Terrible Baja". Kevin King, top man at the Year One parts factory, builds a "sui generis" 1967 Chevy in "Mail Order Hotrods." "General Blues" details the re-creation of the General Lee of Dukes of Hazzard fame as "The Extreme Lee", with guitarist Kenny Wayne ultimately at the wheel. And in the season's final offering "Thump" the talented crew of the Alpine shop has a special treat in store for the annual Consumer Electronics Show. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
