Automotive TV legend Courtney Hansen is back with a great new show debuting this week. It’s called Ride of Your Life, and the mission is to reunite deserving people with the one that got away — the car they loved but had to let go, the one they’ve never forgotten. It debuts this Wednesday, and we’ve got a sneak peek at the first episode right here.

Each episode brings you the story of a car enthusiast who had to give up their dream ride for one reason or another — money was tight, family duties called, life got in the way. Courtney is the host and the shop boss, responsible for finding a donor vehicle and overseeing its restoration and customization to create a one-of-a-kind version of that long-lost, much-loved car. Once the build is complete, Courtney presents the fully customized vehicle to the unsuspecting owner with a surprise reveal that gets all the friends and family involved.

Here’s a sneak peek from Episode 1. Years ago, Dedrick was forced to sell his beloved 1987 Buick Grand National — his father had died, and Dedrick had to sacrifice his project car to take care of his younger siblings. One of Dedrick’s closest friends shared the story with Courtney, and she set up a meet-up with Dedrick, ostensibly to talk about his old Buick — but really, to present him with a fully customized Grand National to replace the car he’d left behind so long ago. Check it out:

Ride of Your Life premieres on Wednesday, September 7th and broadcast on MotorTrend TV at 10 PM ET. We can’t wait to see the rest of the dream cars Courtney reunites with the people who have pined for them.

I'm Not Certain Why I'm So Into These Artist's Renderings Of 1970 Car Front Ends But I Am
It’s a pretty common refrain among gearheads to complain about how all modern cars look the same. And, sure, you can absolutely make a valid argument that they do, and go to any parking lot and wave your arm over the sea of nearly indistinguishable grayscale SUVs, but if...

An Imaginary Car From An Imaginary Country: 1977 Spiro Scrubber
The term “death cult” is certainly potent and evocative, but it’s also so sensationalizing that it tends to deaden any objectivity when it comes to any culture that gets associated with the term. That’s why I’m reluctant to bring it up now when talking about the cars made by...
