 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A short lived show about an illegal, underground, cross-country, The Cannonball Run style street race, written by Tim Minear and starring Nathan Fillion. Everyone had a reason to be in it, with many of those reasons involving blackmail. It was supposed to mix character study and action, but it didn't last long enough to succeed at the character study, at least not to the level advertised.No matter where FOX put this show, how many ads they ran for it, or who was in it, the show couldn't get any viewers. Four episodes aired in two timeslots on two weeks before it was canned, at which point the usual people blamed FOX for everything.This show's failure is a major reason that Sunday nights on FOX are reserved for animation, and perhaps vice versa.

 The Pontiac Solstice that Leigh steals also counts. Too bad she can't drive stick...

 Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: As a reward for being the first team to reach the checkpoint in Rome, Georgia, Alex and Corinna are given a chance to skip the next checkpoint in exchange for completing a task. That task turns out to be robbing a bank. It doesn't end well.

 Cool Car: Subverted at first, as most of the characters are entering the race with their own cars, which include a Ford Taurus, an old landscaping truck, and even a minivan. (Only the Salazars' Impala lowrider and the Lairds' Trans Am count.) Then, in episode three, Alex gets that black Dodge Challenger. The Pontiac Solstice that Leigh steals also counts. Too bad she can't drive stick...

 Eureka Moment: Leigh realizes that the clue to the next checkpoint, "Surrender, America", is a reference to Appomattox Court House in Virginia, where Lee surrendered to Grant, after seeing that the highway is named for a Confederate war hero.

 All Bikers Are Hells Angels: Subverted; the badass-looking people riding the black Harley are revealed to be an old couple once they take their helmets off.
