I thought season 1 was well thought out as far as story telling for people to follow. The timeline in season 1 was not perfect but it is horrible in season 2. They would show cars coming in first when in fact it came in almost last. The same goes for the challenge where certain team have better time according to my stop watch but ends up loosing.
The show has always been stupid but now is actually making me want to vomit thinking about it. The concept is stolen from Cannonball and they can't even make it right. In my opinion, these people are either too stupid, too rich, or the show is rigged as no true car person would put their car to the abuse with the very high probabality of not winning.
Yes, I did enjoy seeing those Evo boys have their face shut off but I didn't like seeing the car in that condition. The worst part is that the driver who isn't the owner of the vehicle acted like it is no big deal and I am assuming he's not paying for it. The Dart driver is even more stupid for wrecking his nice car after finishing the challenge.
I did enjoy the story telling of season 1 and the drivers, except for the Lotus and Charger teams, were reasonable people. Season 2 tried to use the same type of personality but failed miserably.
