So he says the races against Teslas aren't fair in the beginning, but then says don't race them because you'll lose closer to the end. Mmm Hmm...

Automatic transmission are electronically controlled these days. While the default mode is usually neutral (shift into reverse or park at speed in a modern car) that setting is all in the firmware now. Some handbrakes are electronic now although most are still cable. Keys (even ones you insert into a switch) are…

Yup. 30,000 people die each year, the vast majority due to driver error. In NJ they stopped doing safety (brakes, rust, etc.) inspections because they can't balance a budget. They also don't enforce tailgating, sitting in the passing lane, using turn signals before turning, or anything else actually helpful. Mostly…

Wasn't that the cop? If so, looks like he does a WTF... oh these guys... and proceeds to get in closer to them. That is, I don't think he was swerving to avoid crashing.

Yup. Bandaids for improperly set mirrors. I like how OEMs tend to make the housings angled too far inward.

So you keep your mirrors in a less safe position for the 3% of the time you spend backing up? Also, you can just lean to the window or the center of your car if you need to see the sides of your car.

Eh, I kind of had the same situation. Getting a certified pre-owned Focus. I knew they were going to push crap on me, I thought I was prepared to deny it all. In the end though I gave in because my new job started next week and I had no way to get to it.

This never gets old.

You're argument is terrible. You're saying "I've never had problems, so let things continue".

I like mentioning to people how far they can bend before they snap. For some reason they aren't put at ease.

Hovercrafts are literally built to drift. There's no other way to steer them.

But the car was moved between photos...

Forgot your digital tire gauge, huh?

It's because of his Grade A1 Prime driving skills. He aimed at the curb head on on purpose. He had to limit the damage that was going to occur. Even despite the 1.5psi pressure differential in the rear tires that made him spin out mere moments ago. Simply amazing.

Depends if she blames her analog tire gauge for a 1.5PSI discrepency because her digital one is MIA or something.

BABY ON BOARD!

Well was your tire pressure 1.5 psi too low?

Any other V8 would have been a better choice.

There's just a complete lack of substance to this one. If we can't make self-referential jokes about our own past mistakes, what are we limited to? One of the joys of Top Gear, at the end of the day, is its relatable humanity, and I know of few human beings that have never joked about previous foibles.
