THE A&E NETWORK REAL-LIFE SERIES

KING OF CARS

RETURNS FOR A SECOND SEASON

TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2007

NEW YORK, NY, JANUARY 18, 2007 -- KING OF CARS returns hotter than ever, with faster rides, more rollercoaster wheeling and dealing, and even crazier costumed characters.  The second season of the series, which is set in a Las Vegas based dealership run by a hip-hopping car dynasty magnate named Chop, premieres on Tuesday, January 30^th in a new timeslot at 11pm EST/PST.  

Life at Towbin Dodge heats up as Chop drives his sales force to stay number one and build his car dynasty.  This season he brings the customers into the fun with an Ugly Truckling contest, and creates the first ever King of Cars calendar.   Chop motivates his sales teams with even more intense competitions  - at stake for the winners are big cash prizes, or a promotion that hinges on a game of Hoops - but for the losers its all about pride, whether it’s having to wash cars, shave their head’s or in the case of some, model in their Speedos.

New characters this season include a sassy saleswoman named Sunny who keeps everyone on their toes;  tough guys El Supa and Big Thunda who fight their way up the sales-food chain, and the gun-slinging Auto Marshal from Texas who challenges the Blue Genie’s position as mascot.

This season also finds us getting more intimate with Chop as he reveals his personal collection of customized rides on a photo shoot for Dub magazine, and there are even more hot cars for the King of Cars – as Chop buys whips customized for the likes of Snoop and Missy Elliott.  We also see Chop celebrate his birthday with the biggest hopping car contest ever, while his fiancée Venus plans a super surprise bash behind his back.  And beyond the dealership, Chop lives out his other great passion – hip-hop and rap - as he takes us into the studio to lay down new tracks with his own group Tru Cents and special guests like Sonny from the rock group POD.
