Ride of your life is a super fun engaging show. I think it's a great storyline with all the garage antics and fun that you would hope to find amongst the car builds and cool storylines. The host is super charismatic and passionate and easy on the eyes. The team seems very talented. The cars are sick, especially that F150 they built for the gentleman with Parkinson's. My girl even watched with me and got teary eyed in the end. We look forward to more episodes. I hope they crank out many more and have a second season soon. I'm excited to see what other cool builds they are working on at Royl Garage.

What I appreciate about the show is the ensemble cast. I like seeing the group dynamics and all the different kinds of characters. I like seeing a female led garage which feels different... not just a female character but a true female lead. She adds empathy and balances out the testosterone. In terms of the builds... this show does a good job weaving the build with character development. I feel like after watching several episodes I get a feel for who Mikey is and his relationship to cars... I love RJ and Jackson and their humor... I love how Jesses is steady... and I like Will's design skills. If you want a show that is only about building a car from the ground up... this isn't for you but if you want a show that balances character building and car building... you will enjoy.

I saw a post about the series being one of the top two rated shows on MotorTrend. Go Courtney & tram! You can see all the work that went into this show. This series checks all the boxes! It has talented, funny characters working at Courtney Hansen's ROYL Garage building gorgeous custom cars that are given away in the end to deserving families. The stories are heartfelt, and the cars are unique. The car building is impressive, not at all boring, and the show keeps you entertained. Jackson and RJ crack us up. There's a nice balance to it, and it has something for everyone. The reveals are pretty emotional, and I have to admit I shed a few tears in the end watching the recipients surprised by the incredible gift of a free car, the classic car or truck they once had but had to sell. Definitely emotional. It's a wonderful concept, and I find Courtney inspiring to women. Nice to see this fresh spin of a female owner of a custom car garage on an automotive show. We will be watching! Great work Courtney & team! Looking forward to tonight's episode.

Got the chance to enjoy such a show after a long long time. Never imagined such an interesting plots and contents in car restoration but I am completely taken away by the final product. Everyone who has been a part of this show clearly deserve the credit, Courtney Hansen being the foremost for presenting to us such an epic series. All the scenes being varied and finely tuned makes it more entertaining and engaging to watch. Irrespective of place, time and age all individuals can enjoy it. I am sure after watching all the episodes till now that they will continue to make such great episodes and make it another hit!

I am so glad to finally have a show that includes such great content and cast members giving their 100%. Everything is based upon real life experiences and it is showcased in a very exquisite way. All the hard work and efforts have paid really well by the success and popularity it has received. All the cast mates are spontaneous and Courtney Hansen the life of this show is just impeccable. This show has stolen my immense interest and I am so excited to watch the forthcoming episodes. Sending all the love and support to this show!! Keep on making such a good work of art and entertainment. Certainly an eye catcher.

I thought we were getting another Overhaulin type show but not even close. This was brutal to sit through. A pretty girl acting like an idiot with very little car building shown. Obviously scripted but poor joking around with coworkers. It was horrible. I watch several auto shows like Bitchin Rides, Iron Resurrection, Texas Metal, and All Girls Garage. They all actually show builds and are entertaining at the same time. How this thing on television is beyond comprehension. I love seeing women who are into cars and building but this was ridiculous. I do not see this show lasting a season. If it does, it just shows how moronic TV viewers have become.

Courtney Hansen being the essence of the show is at her best as always. The entire cast and crew of the show display the elite content which made me not only watch all the episodes released till now at once but also eager to watch what's next. Too excited for the upcoming episodes. Its a great source for entertainment when one is willing to get away from the routine life. Every bit of the show is crafted thoughtfully and taken good care off by the people behind the camera. Extremely good co-ordination between the cast members and the ultimate outcome of there hardwork truely gets showcased and it stands out.

When I first heard of the new series I was extremely happy and looking forward to see what they had come up with. The concept is great, unfortunately ( in my opinion) they really missed the mark. I have always been a fan of Courtney however, the made up time lines and " we have one week to get done" harkens back to Boyd American hot rod days. Get it done,fast,now omg the world will stop spinning. I believe the stories of sacrifice and tragedy are true, sadly all the filler and fluff make me rethink watching the next episode. Less fluff and more meat people. I realize the need for balance need to keep all the different viewer's happy but, as a gear head my self I would really like to see more of the build, not just a few snippets here and there. To cool my haters out there,I am not a " arm chair" mechanic but some one who has actually restored cars, including a 69 road runner convertible.

Extremely awesome and exclusive show having the beautiful Courtney Hansen serving great looks and content on the show. Her personality definitely pulls this show onto another level and of course the rest of the crew did a great job! All the brand new ideas and concepts shown in the series are extraordinary as well as a great source of entertainment. The hard work of the crew members has clearly played a huge role in the success of this show. Very much excited to watch the upcoming episodes. I am sure the wait is worth and the future episodes have a lot to showcase. All the very best to the cast and crew of this show for newer episodes!!

I was so pumped for this show. Always been a fan of Courtney. But, the obvious scripting and lack of actual car building just ruined it for me. Plus the arrangement of the show just doesn't make sense in my opinion. I don't want to see the completed car first then go back to the build. The payoff is always the completed project. Motor Trend TV needs to bring back entertaining shows like Twin Turbo with the Deberti's.

As easy as Courtney is on the eyes it's just not enough to make the show work. She is usually the icing on the cake. Not this time unfortunately. If they tweak the show it might make more sense. But as of now, I'm no longer a viewer.

This show is one of the best works I have seen in the car restoration field. There is a super awesome content and knowledgable prospects included in the show which keeps the audience engaging. The entire cast and staff people have been successful in creating such a superb show which I believe is one of a kind. Courtney Hansen the host is just as beautiful as her personality appears on the show. Nobody would have pulled it better then her!! Cant wait to explore more episodes and watch the upcoming records. I strongly recommend this show for its uniqueness and affirmative team work along with new ideas.

Not surprised that this show is about drama over car building. Courtney likes to wiggle her assets for the camera over focusing on the work that is done. They do a nice thing for people but this is just another show that doesn't get, viewers want to see the work being done and not drama. Car people want to learn stuff and don't want the chitter chatter. I commend what this show accomplishes, it is far too light on the nuts and bolt stuff that is far more interesting than Courtney's personal business and her "look at me!!" outfits that are not necessarily family friendly. Too many useless interviews with the crew when they could show the work being done.

Yet another car show that is not about cars. Why don't these people realize there is a minimum proportion that a car show has to meet. A car show has to be about the car. Any car show needs to be at least 70 percent about the car. This show can be watched in 10 minutes or less if you skip all the crap. No one cares about manufactured drama or personal interest. When people look to create a car show they should watch a few episodes of Wheeler dealers, Fantom works, or Iron resurrection. These shows and others like them make the show about the car. I gave this series a three star rating only because there are other series that are so much worse. Courtney Hansen does not work in the lead role. She's ok in a supporting or ancillary role but just isn't able to carry a show on her own. Basically don't bother. It's a waste of time.

Very well planned and executed show this is. Did not expect such a blast while watching it but it is surely worth the time especially the host Courtney slays throughout the show along with her cast members. Got to learn quite a lot of new terms and thoughts on the restoration industry but such a hit show is full of exciting story lines and scenes. The team work of the members and the back end staff involved deserves a great applause for sure. Waiting eagerly for the new episodes and cannot wait to appreciate this popular show. It is really a great experience watching this series and everyone involved in this show.

Ride of Your Life with Courtney Hansen proves, once again, that a woman can have beauty and brains! I love the drama and heartwarming stories in each episode which add value to the overall experience. Although I personally would have enjoyed seeing a bit more of the car-building process from scratch to finish, this show is entertaining and reminds you that there are still good people in this world who make life-altering sacrifices selflessly. Congratulations to Courtney, ROYL Garage and MotorTrendTV. I am hooked on this show and can't wait to see what Courtney and her team comes up with next! If you're into cool cars and seeing good people win in the end... this show's for you!

Im always up for Automotive Entertainment,so for myself to tune into R. O. Y. L., im not shouting by the way, was nothing out of the norm for me. Barely 60 seconds into the show and i felt as if for sum reason Chip Fools excuse me Chip Foose would magicaly appear on the show shouting, cut cut go to a commercial! Wierd Huh...Ive got to be brutally honest here people this show has absolutely nothing, i mean nada going for it. If the shows producers thought Courtney Hansens Man Voice was going to carry this shows ratings into the stratosphere they were and are sadly mistaken. Im not here to bag on Mrs. Hansen but after watching the first brutal 60 seconds of this show,I had an innate desire to research the shows host and her resume' or lack there of. Her father at one time was the owner of Brainard International Raceway,What does that mean? In this scheme of things, nothing. This show was brutal to watch as this review is brutal to type. Facts being facts Courtney Hansen has the personality of a 2 by 4 , doesnt actually own a true blue in business automotive shop and for sum reason keeps poping up on television annoying people! So there you have it, oh there will be move lovely informitave reviews by Muah... Until then Peace and stay outta trouble.... Joe Glow.

Courtney is a star, her team is on point and this show is a hit! I laughed and I cried. My absolute favorite part is how she brings together people of various backgrounds to make for a dynamic show that is entertaining for anybody to watch. It's very diverse and all-inclusive. The car her team built was donated to a very deserving fellow. The guy was super nice and took care of his whole family after his dad passed away unexpectedly. The show really captures this individual's personality and charm. I can't wait to learn more about the car designer/builder characters and see the drama unfold in the upcoming episodes.

Way too much screwing around. Hard to take seriously and earn my respect as car builders and worthwhile shop/show. Has the feel of a high school shop class where everyone wants to get their $.02 in, talk, tease, flirt and toss in attention-seeking behavior to get on camera. The Royl shop is a mess. If I rolled up looking for work to be done, I'd pass right by, especially after seeing the crew. A lot of talk; not much productivity. The kind of vibe you get when a 2 week job turns into 6 months. Or more. Whoever is producing and/or directing this show needs to eat serious, watch other car shows and mimic them because what you're producing here is very poor. Sorry, just trying to help.

Ride your life with Courtney Hansen has proved to be an epic storyline gaining popularity day by day due to its exclusive content. I personally got swayed by Courtney's excellent delivery of the show. A big shout out to her for carrying on this show with such ease and elegance. When it aired it became a huge success in its time slot for obvious reasons. Ever since I watched it, I felt quite satisfied with the ideas and concepts. Apparently, this show stands the highest in my recommendation list and I am so looking forward for the new episodes to get released. Hope to get the remaining episodes at earnest. Something out of box for real!

It's really not that good. Tried watching it a couple times and it was hard to stay mentally engaged with it. Maybe it'll improve, most likely not.

Fantomworks had a lot of fake drama, but at least the cars looked awesome. These folks seem to stand around and joke too much. Lots of outsourcing work, it's not Bitchin Rides where most of the fabrication, bodywork, painting are all done in-house. .

Courtney Hansen has been around cars for a long time, and has a history with car show productions. The premise of the show isn't new or unique, pretty much it's a rehash of early automotive TV shows starring Chip Foose. I'll give it another viewing and hopefully the show will gel.

Car restoration is a segment where not many women try their hand. Courtney having stepped in with confidence and succeeding in it makes me be more of her fan now. The way in which the episodes run and are directed in an apt manner makes it quite different and unique. It can be clearly witnessed that a lot of thoughts and efforts have been put by the crew members both on and off camera. No matter how much appreciation I make is less for this wonderful project. Got to come across exciting alterations and fixations during the show and how one can excel in such an art work. Still so much more to know and see. In que to watch the upcoming episodes. Keep it up!!

Had so much fun watching this spontaneous show which has every bit of it projected in the best way possible. Got completely taken over by the entire cast of the show as they put their best foot forward. Became a huge fan of Courtney Hansen for the way she aces the role of the host and holds the show together. Would absolutely love to see more of Courtney's performance and the rest of the cast as well. I also love the way the scenes and whole plot of the episodes are planned and executed. They are just above the mark. I wish the show continues to be this biggie and we go on receiving such vivid ideas. Appreciation to the entire team of ROYL. Keep doing such impressive work in the future as well. Good luck for the next part!

A very desirable show for car lovers. I would definitely say that Courtney Hansen's ROYL Garage is actually Royal. Really I couldn't expect the glam in cars like this. Cars are modified very uniquely. She worked fabulously on show and also all the team members are co-operative. Who can modify a car very uniquely can win any race and definately this show will win all the races among all the shows. Very excited for upcoming episodes. It is absolutely worth watching this show. Specially with the sweet and sour host Courtney Hansen, this show will touch the sky. Keep it up Courtney Hansen and team!

Every show brought something different but each on made me tear up .

To hear the story of the folks who got a vehicle was wonderful.

Courtney's insite to see who needed help is spot on. For Courtney to work through all the difficulties of different personality and to bring them together to complete the task says alot about her talents.

Seeing Courtney jump in and get dirty one minute and than dealing with the logistics of a build is awesome.

Being a intelligent person in the car world shows by her knowledge and her dad's influence on her growing up. I'm sure her dad is very proud.

It is great to see a woman for the first time on a show like this do such a awesome job. No wonder the TV ratings are so high.

AWESOME JOB COURTNEY!
