I worked as an editor on the long-lost TG USA pilot with Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust, and Eric Stromer. For a one-off pilot, it was pretty awesome. NBC shot themselves in the foot by shelving it; it had the best chance of recapturing that incredible chemistry that Clarkson/Hammond/May had that really made the show so…

Clarkson, Hammond, and May definitely made the show, but Top Gear was first and foremost a show about cars.  That’s what I think was missing about Top Gear USA.  All they did were challenges.  And bickering.  

This, but I even liked the reviews and the news as much as anything else on the show. They found a way to make novelty out of a traditionally dry format. Like the Enzo review with all the Pink Floyd stuff, the LFA with the big cartoon spaceships, Hammond screaming “I AM A DRIVING GOD”, etc.

While it’s hard to compare to the version with the trio that put it on the map, I really have been enjoying the latest iteration with Harris/Flintoff/ McGuinness. It feels much more natural than the ones with Joey, though I didn’t mind Rory (I don’t think anyone liked Chris Evans). It felt like they had the spark that…

I quite enjoyed a few of the non-CHM episodes, but a lot of the personality pigeonholing (such as predictably and aggressively cutting Chris Harris off at the legs in every competitive scenario) became too much of an ongoing gag that just wasn’t funny. The Hammond jokes worked because they’d make them, but then ease…

I love cars, just as I’m sure other readers here do, so I gave all the Top Gear iterations a watch. And...they were just always so meh compared to the Top Gear—the one starring Clarkson, Hammond, and May. And let’s face facts: it wasn’t the car reviews and stunts that truly made the show—it was the hosts’ constant…

It makes me think there was flood damage or something 

A little surprised any Toyota would need 9k$ worth of fixes at less than 100k miles, but the crunched tailgate is the real deal killer. ND

One of our favorite “elderlies” has a Boss 302 that he’s built up nicely, it’s LOUD and he loves to shred a tire or two or more. He was also a tunnel rat in Vietnam and has a fondness for THC resin. You just have to associate with the right foggies. 

First off, let me say that knowing the “elderly” people that I do, who are never shy about doing a burnout or two and can afford the tires to do so, buying from the little old lady from Pasadena is not a guarantee that the car hasn’t been flogged like a red haired stepchild. The difference is that they will be more…

WTH?!?!  Prospective buyers should take one look at that and run.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jackson Police Department sends the parents a bill for the first burial.

“crocodile tears”
I hate that term. Crocodiles are beautiful creatures, these people on the other hand are a disgusting virus.

I still find it hilarious, that the job that costs the most (corporate CEO), that does the least (corporate CEO) is also the one job not being highly automated.

Don’t forget Embracer also owns Dark Horse Comics. My whole ass is clenched just waiting to see what happens to them because of this.

Who could have possibly seen this coming!? Expanding at an unprecedented rate has never gone poorly ever, especially when you don’t even have the funds in hand to do so. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

At what point does this become a business problem for any Memphis-based freight company? If I were a dispatcher right now, I’d be doing everything I can to avoid sending trucks there precisely because I’d have no idea if that load will ever be delivered. I don’t get paid for undelivered loads.

Did he spray paint the wheels black, and then spray paint the grill silver?

Rob missed the opportunity to ask if we’d like to “slide into this Crossfire.”

Correction: Tom Hiddleston has always been the low-key best actor in the MCU.
