I got introduced to 2 cool shows on the Discovery Channel : Monster Garage and Great Biker Build-Off.

Monster Garage is hosted by well-known chopper (customised motorcycle) builder Jesse James. Each episode, they're assigned 2 things: a regular car (say, PT Cruiser) and a functional purpose (a wheat harvester). Their task is to combine the 2 so it looks (more or less) like the regular car but works like the functional one - 7 days, with $2,000. Today, it's a 1982 DeLorean that they have to make into a hovercraft.

The Great Biker Build-Off is a build-off between 2 known chopper builders. They have 30 days to build a new motorcycle (their own design). They ride their final product halfway across the country to a Bike Week event somewhere (different places each time) to show off their work, and there's a vote to determine a winner.

Guess a bit of that geek in me is shining through. :P
