Monster garage is pretty wild, they take ordinary secondhand cars and turn them into budget versions of special application vehicles. There's one where they turn an old Ford Explorer into a garbage truck, complete with hydraulically operated swing open roof, and then they race it against a real garbage truck to see who can pick up the most rubbish in two minutes. It's pretty damn good fun. There's another where they took a Series IV RX7 and tried to turn it into a sand racer but failed, so Jesse James (the show's leading man) shoots it to bits with a truck mounted minigun. Pretty stupid, awesome fun.
