Downey's Dream Cars (2023)
Such a Downer

Downey wants us to know he cares about the environment, etc... so to prove this he thinks riding in an army helicopter and showcasing a $2 million car is what it takes. This show is so self-indulgent, so tone deaf and completely unself-aware. I'm no expert, but I don't think flying in on two Blackhawk choppers is going to win any environmental awards. It would have been nice to see MORE of the actual transformation of the cars, instead of the self-indulgent prattle of a rich movie star - who is transforming HIS cars to make HIMSELF feel better. Downey himself is affable enough, and is ok as the host. But this fails as a car show, and fails miserably as a case for EV restorations.
