Info

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.

Lost in Transmission Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
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.
jakestew Put together a dork pretending to be an expert with a doofy hillbilly and you have History channel's "Lost in Transmission".If you like seeing rich kids do stupid things to squander money while pretending like they are some sort of authority on the subject then you'll love this show.It really seems they went out of their way to find the strangest and most distasteful individuals to feature on the show.I wish I could get the wasted hour of my life back.The first two "restorations" are a complete failure. The DeLorean had salt water damage and was completely rusted out, so they had to scrap it.The other "car" wasn't even a car, nor did they restore it. It was some kind of obscure microbus that they converted to a golf cart.The basic theme of this show is that the dork comes up with a really dumb idea to convert some really crappy car that nobody collects into some sort of wacky sort of yard art.
