A show centered around the construction, customization, or restoration of a unique vehicle, or modifying an ordinary vehicle to be more unique. Ranges from the down-to-earth how-to programs, to outlandish workplace reality dramas. It's also referred to as a "petrolhead show" outside of North America. Compare Home and Garden, feel-good shows about giving houses/gardens a makeover. |

Roadkill: Any given episode can be summed up as Gearhead Show going on a road trip using The Alleged Car on some sort of Zany Scheme. Cue lots of duct tape, roadside repairs, and just technically legal shenanigans as the hosts drive across the country. Their spinoff Hot Rod Garage started as a straight-up educational show, but they gradually started goofing off during their work as well. | |

Top Gear (UK), and its Channel 5 competitor, Fifth Gear. Let's face it, there should probably be a picture of Jeremy Clarkson in the dictionary next to "petrolhead". Of course, this includes every other version of Top Gear as well including Top Gear (US). |

Monster Garage: May have started the current trend. It was originally centered around converting street vehicles into souped-up power equipment, that would then challenge the real deal; i.e., converting an SUV into a trash truck. Focus began to shift as they ran low on ideas. | |

Overhaulin': It's centered around classic American car restoration. Much lighter on the customization than most other gearhead shows. Dips into melodrama and littlest cancer patient moments often. | |

Pimp My Ride: On MTV, Rapper Xzibit and the crew at GAS (earlier, West Coast Customs) take the most trashy, beat-down cars their viewers can show them, and convert them into luxury custom machines. Gets more outrageous with each episode, usually including video and audio equipment that quintuples (at least) the value of the car. | |

Scrapheap Challenge: In it, along with its US equivalent, Junkyard Wars, teams compete to produce a machine for Task X using random scrap and some expert advice. A giant catapult, say, or a train. | |
