Show ideas anyone for my show?

[videoholic]

I have a meeting on Monday to try and present ideas for next years shows and I am just looking for ideas.  Show is both car maintenance and performance.

Example of shows could be as simple as my previous thread, how in the hell do you choose the correct tire?

I have right now over 30 some od subjects, but I\'d love to get at least 50.

Think of car problems you have had, or simple upgrades to increase horsepower.

We primarily do our show on American made vehicles, but tweaking a little puss jap 4 banger wouldn\'t be all that bad either.

We neer do Euro cars though.  I wish we could though.

Oh and could you please keep your bullshit ideas down to a bare minimum?  I know they\'re coming, but if you feed me crap at least feed me an good idea as a side order.

how bout a show shedding light on all the BS additives and shit like
"the Vornado" that they sell on TV?

or how about a couple of low-cost things you can do to your ride
to increase performance...that you can do without having a dyno
or that crazy garage you have in your studio!

Oh God, the Tornado.  THose guys call us all the time wanting to be on.  We finally let them do one placement with us last year.  It will be a while till we let them on again.  Oye...

How about a show about all the bull bolt-ons that produce far less HP than advertised. I guess that wouldn\'t go over well with the bean counters.

. . . or take a car from a viewer ala This Old House and do some performance mods on it.

I will reluctantly give you my car as a test.

How how a few shows on basic fundementals of mods :

How to replace :

Shocks and springs
drain the tranny and fill it up again
water hoses
belts
etc etc

Believe it or not, a lot of people are too afraid to try until they see how easy it is. If it worked for Martha Stewart...why not with cars? Guys have too much pride to ask another about how to\'s.

Another is to show the before and after affects of mods such as thicker rear sway bars, changing the stiffness of the shocks or the entire suspension, super chargers, turbo, octane boosters, piggyback Chips.

I like the idea of showing real world HP #s for parts, but that makes it hard to sell when you are going to say a company isn\'t producing #s they promise.  Doh.  Check please.

I knew that would not fly. I get crazy when I see a company say 20 more HP when they know damn well it\'s not the case.

We dyno test people\'s stuff and we were most surprised with the cold air intake from K&N. We got a great increase on a camaro and a vette.

Fine, but what comes across from these companies is that is the norm for all cars.

How about a show that takes it to the track. A performance mod show that shows real world gains at the track. Maybe a narrow audience but you guys deal with performance mods so I think even people who don\'t visit the track would still be interested.

how about a show about the best mods for your buck.  What gives you the greatest HP increase per dollar.  Most of these shows spend 5 grand and gain 7 horse power, it would be nice to see some mods that net you some cheap ponies.

How about a show that mimics tose stupid house shows (I don\'t remember what its called) but like trading something or other...

Anyway, you take two guys with fixer uppers and you have them swap cars and they do the work they would like on each others cars, then give them back.  Sort of a Man\'s version of those women\'s shows.  Now you could do it as an actual show that has many episodes, or just one show as sort of a way to see how others would do things much differently if given the opportunity.

Show some nekkid ladies.

That would be pretty funny BS.  Although it would take hellacious prep and take forever to shoot.  Remember, to paint a wall in a room takes an hour.  To paint a car takes days.
