I know that New York has tons of unnecessarily low bridges because Robert Moses didn't want busses bringing black people to the suburbs, but you'd think decades later the state could have actually fucking done something about it.

Why compare? We should be happy that we have these kind of car programs on TV. Other programs cares too much about ratings, and the presenters use exclamation marks after each sentence.

Yeah, because that recent TGUK episode where they raced those old hatchbacks through a grocery store was 100% off the cuff.

TV Executive: "Hey Car Enthusiast, I have a new idea for a car themed show."

Fifth Gear. A show that decided what Top Gear lacked was all the boring stuff that made the previous iteration irrelevant, so made their own version. Of course the evergreen and ever wonderful Tiff Needell was a highlight, but for the most part it just carried on where Top Gear left off before having it's much-needed,…

I'm so fucking sick of the constant TG comparisons/whining I could fucking scream.

I never said they were "real" but they were entertaining. Hell most of the TG shows are heavily edited and chopped and spliced. Notice how no matter how "close" the race is in UK TG they always manage to have frontal shots of the cars and trains and whatnot? Maybe they actually do race at some point but most of what…

The only thing I will say, and I know I will catch a lot of shit for it, is that top gear USA can actually be funny if you don't compare it to British top gear, because in all honesty nothing is better than top gear: UK. But the USA version has actually become enjoyable lately.

Better compared to what?

I think at first there was the expectation that they were Hammond, Clarkson, and May, which isn't it. But I think they thought that, too, which is why the chemistry is so weird at first. But as the seasons progressed, it got much better. I do enjoy it, and I enjoy that they do much more episode-long challenges and…

Thanks! I can't wait!

More of this stuff needs to stay and not get cut!!! That was awesome!

It's a great race! This will be my 4th year. See you there!

I also can't wait to see the VW at Lydden. My first year going. I'm excited!

Nope, not a lawyer. I bet we're missing out on some funny stuff and I'd love to see it. More teasing each other, please? :)

What are you a Lawyer!? Kidding, here's an oldie...

Ahem.

I'm usually a Corvette hater, but this is just heartbreaking. Auto museums are like sacred ground to car people. This ruined my night.
