I saw this title at Blockbuster, and I was curious if anyone could tell me anything about it?

I've seen it.
It's set in the not too distant future when all cars are run by AI. The story focuses on a group of teenaged drivers who actually driver there own cars instead of letting the computers do it for them. They are employed by the government to run down cars who's AI's have gone rouge and taken off on their own.
The show is set up kind of similar to your typical super-hero group like Power Rangers or Voltron. I remember liking the series, especially some of the extras included on the DVD's. The voice actors competed in some pretty funny races with RC cars and even go-carts.
I'm trying to remember if there was anything objectionable in it... It seems to me there was something, but I can't remember. Which makes me think it wasn't too bad.

There's really nothing objectionable about the show, other than one scene in one of the middle episodes where Soichii (sp? the kid) stumbles into the shower room while a new girl (forget her name, she's an eX-rider, drives a motorcycle--bit of a risque dresser) is in the shower. The new girl is unphased and asks Soichii to hand her some shampoo or soap or something, and I think he passes out and gets a nosebleed. In context, it's not really that bad. It's an ok show if only for the art; the story's so-so.

Its worth a rent, Ashley. *thumbs up*

Whoa, there's a new ex-Driver movie coming out. So, that's why I'm bumping this up. I'm totally in agreement with whats been said. Nothing bad about the show or overly objectionable. It's a very safe title.

I liked this show a lot. Great car scenes. I'm a car lover and when I see driving shows, I tend to watch just to see how they portray the cars. I'll definitely be checking out the movie when it comes out.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.
