One Car Too Far is an American reality television series. It stars Gary Humphrey and Bill Wu. It premiered on Discovery Channel on August 19, 2012.[3]
Lasting for five episodes, One Car Too Far is a miniseries in which former United Kingdom Special Forces soldier Gary Humphrey and California-based automotive enthusiast Bill Wu attempt to survive various climates using only the parts of an automobile.[4]
Allison Keene of the Hollywood Reporter gave the show a mixed review, saying that its "reason for existence may be without explanation" but that "its general theme of 'how to use all of a car’s parts to survive' is engaging enough".[5]
