Every week on "SuperCars Exposed" TV show Tanner Foust and Louise Brady take eager viewers into the turbo-charged, jaw-droppingly pricey world of exotic cars. "SuperCars Exposed" TV series make it clear, however, how belittling and insulting it is to call these works of art "cars" or "automobiles." The names--Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis"”are eponyms for masterworks of metal and internal combustion. Clearly, it is good to be Tanner Foust and Louise Brady. The list of "SuperCars Exposed" episodes reads like a list of adolescent boys' fantasies: Tanner Foust pilots a Lamborghini Gallardo down the California coastline; then, Tanner Foust puts the petal to the metal in an Audi R8, flying over the Alps and then gives drifting lessons as he pushes a Ferrari 599 GTB down the Autobahn. Taking time out from driving for a little serious wrenching, Tanner Foust devotes some time to exposing the SuperCars, learning how to tune the newest top-of-the-line Porsches. Then, he drives an Aston Martin around Nurburgring. Finally, Louise Brady gets to do something besides narrate and comment, taking a turn behind the wheel of Mercedes-Benz performance cars.

The Beach Boys composed the anthem, singing, "If that ain't enough to make you flip your lid, just one more thing"”I got the pink slip, Daddy." In California, "the pink slip" was the DMV's proof of title to the car. When hot-rodders drag-raced "for pinks," the winner took home the loser's car"”free and clear. Often deadly, always flagrantly illegal, in the Beach Boys' era, racing for pinks held at least as hallowed a place in the So Cal culture as long boards, buffalo plaid, and blondes. Speed Channel thoughtfully has reprised the winner-take-all drags on "Pinks" and "Pinks, All Out." "Pinks" does not provide a venue for "rice rockets" a la remakes of and sequels to The Fast and the Furious. Only American muscle cars need apply, and the drivers race by the "old school" rules"”no electronic timing or photo finishes. Usually burning up the quarter mile at closed, legal drag strips, competitors put the pedal to the metal until one wins three of five races and claims the precious pink.

PINKS All Out TV show follows the best drag racers in the country bring their game to the track in search of glory and their share of $18,000 in cash and prizes in PINKS All Out. Host Rich Christensen hosts the all-day shootout that pits egos and cars against one another on the quarter mile. It's pedal-to-the-metal action from the start line until the last car crosses the finish line. Every driver thinks they've got the stuff it takes to win, but only the top 16 make it to the finals where it's heads-up racing with no negotiations and no tomorrows.
