Tune In: Speed TV with April Rose

April Rose, your very own fairy garage mother, takes you on yet another dream ride this weekend. Get ready to kick your car lust into overdrive with this line-up of shows:



Friday, Dec. 16
Dan Woods’ Chop Cut Rebuild (12 pm-8 pm) will rev any auto-lover’s engine: Two different world-class customization teams work against the clock on seemingly impossible rebuilding and customizing missions. As the teams breathe new life into classic cars, the miracle of mechanics will have your heart racing. Then, prepare to be stunned by the close calls, crashes, stunts gone wrong, and just generally abysmal drivers Dumbest Stuff on Wheels manages to catch on camera. From 1-5 a.m., it’s an all-night marathon of stupidity—which happens to be one of our favorite things to celebrate!

Saturday, Dec. 17
On Truck U (2 pm-8 pm), hosts Bruno Massel and Matt Steele show you how to take your truck to the next level. If you have a truck, SUV, Jeep, or 4x4, get ready to learn some cutting-edge customizations for your large and in charge vehicle. And the celebration of XL vehicles continues with American Trucker (8 pm-5 am). The show unveils the battles of a job on the road, a profession filled with dangerous roads, crazy deadlines, and even crazier drivers. Host Robb Mariani sets out to uncover the largely unknown, underappreciated culture of the trucker, from the precious cargo that they transport to the weather conditions they battle on the road to the iconic machines that built the industry.

Sunday, Dec. 18
We’ve all been there: standing at the gas station, mindlessly filling up your car, thinking about nothing. Well, imagine if you were suddenly bombarded by a cameraman and some guy with a microphone offering you money and prizes. You’d be pumped, right? The aptly named Pumped! (2 pm-7 pm) does just that: Host Greg Fitzsimmons approaches people at the pump and takes them through a whole game show comprised of pop culture and automotive questions. Tune in to see if people manage to put some money in their pocket while they’re draining their wallet at the pump! Then, Speed brings you more tales of sweet customizations: Rapper Xzibit and West Coast Customs take the world’s worst cars and upgrade them a few times over in Pimp My Ride (7 pm-5 am).
