Last Car Standing

March 09, 2015

Last Car Standing pits the owners of extraordinarily lousy cars against each other in an escalating series of intense driving contests. In the space of each one hour show, we put five drivers through four high-impact elimination rounds until we’re left with the sole car-vivor. The stakes? The driver of the last car standing gets a $10,000 upgrade. Or, they can pass on the ten grand for a chance to compete in our playoff episode for a complete $50,000 automotive resurrection! And for the losers? Each eliminated beater will get impaled in front of its owner’s eyes on our massive Spike of Shame.

The Real Superhumans is a groundbreaking feature length documentary that reveals the amazing stories of real people with extraordinary super powers. Who are these “super humans”?
