"The Instigator."
An unscripted automotive adventure series. Three experienced dealers test car culture's loudest myths across America's most unforgettable roads.
Cars inspire strong opinions. Some earned. Some repeated until they became fact.
Every season, three experienced dealers take a different automotive argument across America's most unforgettable roads.
If something fails, the failure becomes part of the story. If it survives, that matters too.
Three dealers. One argument. No reverse gear.
Three car dealers take high-mileage German vehicles across 1,000+ miles of the American South — where mud, mountains, and competitive pride put decades of German-car stereotypes to the test.
Three high-mileage Nissans. 1,500 miles of punishing Western terrain. One transmission's reputation on the line.
The Good, The Bad, The CVT — what 1,500 miles produced.
Season 1 on YouTube. Streaming on Driven — the automotive-first platform backed by Tanner Foust, Ant Anstead, Jenson Button, and Ben Collins.
