EP1 Poor Man’s Turbo Aug 04, 2021

Tory, Faye and Bisi are curious to test an automotive myth from a famously fast film franchise that claims you can increase boost and win a Cuban mile drag race from a turbocharged engine with just a length of wire and soda can tab. Would this low-tech technique work in the real world?

EP2 Bedrock Buggy Aug 04, 2021

The Motor MythBusters team sets out to fulfill Tory’s childhood dream of building a full-scale Flintstones car and test if it’s possible to overcome the friction and inertia of a two-ton, wood and stone vehicle using just the power of their feet.

EP3 Underwater EV Aug 11, 2021

Bisi, Faye and Tory test the myth that an EV can drive through a flash flood and continue to operate. They build a five foot pool, design the car so Tory can control it without being electrocuted, then drive it into the water to see if it can survive.

EP4 Blown Brake Lines Aug 17, 2021

The Motor MythBusters test a common automotive myth often seen in movies. The team finds out if it’s possible for someone to loosen a vehicles brake lines so precisely that the brakes will fail after two complete stops, like in the movie ‘Strange Brew’.

EP5 Birds Prefer Red Cars Aug 24, 2021

Tory, Faye and Bisi test a survey that claims birds prefer pooping on red cars more than other colored cars. They consult with an ornithologist, do field research and design their own experiments to find out if birds really do see red when they poop.

EP6 Caddy Detonation Deflection Aug 31, 2021

Tory, Bisi and Faye test an explosive classic mafia movie myth. The team buys a 1981 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz to test if there is a plate under the driver's compartment that could withstand a car bomb, similar to the claim made in the movie 'Casino.'

EP7 Rolling Back the Miles Sep 08, 2021

In true Ferris Bueller fashion, the Motor MythBusters find out if it's possible to roll miles back on an odometer. Testing a variety of cars from different eras, they learn how odometers work and then drive them in reverse to see if they wind backwards

EP8 Fishtail Trailer Sway Sep 15, 2021

The Motor MythBusters test the dangerous myth that trailer sway can be corrected by accelerating. Bisi, Faye and Tory add remote control to a truck, load up a trailer, initiate sway and find out if a sudden boost of speed will stop a trailer fishtailing.

EP9 Hot Rod Hybrid Sep 22, 2021

Bisi, Tory and Faye test the myth that adding a turbo to a hybrid car will make it more fuel efficient. The team buys a 2011 Honda CR-Z, installs a turbo, and drives it on a flat road and in the hills to see if it gets better mileage compared to the original stock car.

EP10 Chop Top Van Sep 29, 2021

In true hot rod fashion, the team tests the myth that chopping the top of a vehicle will make it go faster. They buy a '70s Dodge van, cut out 12 inches from the roofline down, and then see if that modification gives it more speed on a quarter-mile track.

EP11 EV Drain Pain Oct 06, 2021

Tory, Bisi and Faye investigate the myth that when an electric vehicle's battery is depleted, its performance is reduced and acceleration decreased. To test it, they hit the track and run a series of tests pitting an EV at full charge versus 25%.

EP12 Farts in the Fast Lane Oct 11, 2021

Choosing which type of gas to use in your can be a difficult decision, but the least popular is passing gas. The team tests the myth that opening the window closest to the person who farted is the best way to remove the odor from the vehicle.

EP13 Leak in the Radiator Oct 20, 2021

The team tests the myth that urine can be used as a substitute for anti-freeze. They take a truck to the track, pour pee in the radiator, and see if they can drive it without overheating. Then they test other household fluids to see if they might work.

EP14 Range Against the EV Oct 26, 2021

The team tests multiple EV myths worthy of giving someone range anxiety. They take a Ford Mach-E to the track and test how the battery life and range are affected by using the AC and heater, mechanical braking versus regenerative braking, and charging a cell phone.

EP15 Talkin' Shop Nov 02, 2021

Featuring exclusive never-seen-before footage, Tory, Bisi and Faye share their favorite moments from the series. From their home workshops, they discuss which vehicles, builds, tools and myths they enjoyed the most!

EP16 Cars vs. UFOs Nov 09, 2021

Tory, Bisi and Faye use an electromagnet and a jet engine to recreate the presence of a UFO to test how it affects automobiles, just like in sci-fi movies as well as accounts from people who claimed to have had an encounter with a UFO while in their car.
