Yep, it's on Speed TV. Link to the show...
Alonzo Bodden from Last Comic Standing is hosting the show.
Basically, Alonzo is running through a group of interesting cars, whether they are cool, or the antithesis of cool. From the Citroen 2CV (1948-1990) to the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO. BTW, the 2CV originally had 9 (nine) horsepower... my MOWER has more than 9HP. The EVO has 286 HP.
The cars are pretty slick... or just pretty... or make slicks. English cars, French cars, American cars and Italian cars. There are some great anecdotes and interesting stats about the cars.
Even if you aren't into cars, there is a lot of great material here. Some of these are recent, and some go back quite a way. Some are amazingly rare, but others could be picked up over the weekend on EBay.

I'd love to hear from you...
I ordered my pink ferrari...like (LOL) so when the market changes and there is a total frenzie...that they would consider it...you know...(wink)...and my license plate (after I make all the money from the frenzie that I'm not holding my breath for is going to read...
"Cause I can".... well, you know...you have to have dream's and I have a big one... LOL
Seriously, when I was young my Dad and I rebuilt a 1970 midget MG...I wanted to be a race car driver then...might have been a first...He wouldn't let me...said I would kill myself...
Smart man...probably would of...without that Hann's device...I'm sure.
Love car's, have some great book's going back to the old dayz...my friend...fondly known as "Miss Kitty" here where I live has one of the original Packards...she still drives it on occasion, when not in her BMW and it's in mint condition...hard to get part's for though..
Sorry...done now...this is getting long enough to be a blog... LOL
Fun post!
Karen - It's longer than my post... That is ok. I used to know a guy that races MG Midgets and Austin-Healy Sprites. Nasty fast little cars.
Lane - I've watched the show, and I don't get it. His selection criteria dowsn't make sense, and he usually doesn't do much with the cars except talk about how strange they are. The speed channel has some great programs, I just don't really like this one very much.
Larry - The criteria doesn't make sense... and I could never get a list up to 101 or down to 101... so it is just fun to listen to the comments.
a list of 101 cars eh... ( <--- sneaks into his skunkzorz laboratory for analysis )
Castellum - I could come up with lots of lists of 101 cars... and it would be tough to do just one.
Several of them on the list I could care less about really :-). Citroen 2cv? Get real! I've driven 22 of them though and owned a handful of them. Quite a few on there I would like to my list.
There are many that I think should be on the 101 list that aren't. One that I think should be on the list and isn't ? 427 Cobra. Acceleration so fast it'll suck your eyeballs to the back of your head
Larry, I will definitely have to check this out. I love cars!
Bob - Autoweek did a test of a turbocharged 2CV... it burst into flames. But the kit did get it to 60mph in just over a minute (stock it won't actually reach 60). And I love watching the vintage footage of the racing 427s. They cornered like pigs, but they were hell on the straights.
I think the new Corvette ZR1 will be on a list of cars that we MUST drive. Over 630 horsepower makes this car a land rocket!
Sam - I am NOT a Corvette guy. But the latest generation I find intriguing.
Lane, let's make such a list then :) Maybe we'll base it off of the cars from this past weekend's hershey show.
Castellum - Maybe I will... I have a list of 10 already.
Lane, cool post! So glad you commented on it so I could find it again. Bookmarking now!
Tanya - I'm glad you enjoyed it...
