Sky's the Limit

Wed, Oct 2, 201943 mins

Since the turn of the last century, cars and planes have lead parallel lives as planes have dictated both the look and the science of cars. Jay goes up in the air with his old friend John Travolta to discuss his fascination with airplanes and plane-influenced cars. Whether he's using a Dodge Charger to land a U2 reconnaissance plane or blowing flames in a mind-bogglingly powerful aero-engine car, the sky's the limit for Jay in this thrill-a-minute homage to vehicles influenced by flight.

Unsung Heroes

Wed, Oct 9, 201943 mins

Jay jumps head-first into some of the most dangerous - and under appreciated - automotive jobs. Who do we have to thank for racetrack successes and film and TV car chases and stunts? The unsung heroes - pit crews and stuntmen. Jay introduces a bunch of people you've never heard of, who are the real heroes of the automotive world on and off the screen. Martha Stewart shows off the Maine estate of Edsel Ford, the son of Henry, and they take a ride in her pristine Edsel wagon. Jay then attempts to learn the intricate dance of a NASCAR pit crew and does a pit stop for Joey Logano during an actual race. He then transforms into a crash test dummy in a new Jeep Gladiator before doing a Dukes of Hazzard-style stunt with one of the original Duke Boys stuntmen.
