Rides Season 2: Episode Guide & Ratings

Comic/gearhead Christopher Titus is tricking out an SUV into a one-of-a-kind super-machine he affectionately calls "Killing the Soccer Mom." This refers to taking a kids-and-shopping family tank and getting rid of all that screams "suburban female head of household." Outspoken family man Titus has big plans for this rig, working with Wings West and making it into a ride that you'll WANT Mom to pick you up in.

Look at her — beautiful lines, curvaceous, ultra-sleek and the star of one of the biggest car flicks of all time. She's now being handcrafted, one part at a time, in Dallas. The place that makes this beauty is Unique Performance. She's Eleanor, the leading lady in Gone in 60 Seconds, and you too can have one of these way-cool GT-500E rides for yourself. But before you open the checkbook, check out the episode where we'll see an Eleanor get built from start to finish.

The sport is drifting, and Rides will build, test and enter top drifting cars into this crowded circuit of high-speed grace. We'll trace this growing movement from its Japanese origins, seeing how drifting has single-handedly revived the rear-drive compacts of yesteryear.
