As opposed to the Top Gear cycling adverts, which were brilliant. My two favorites.

I'm far from being a tree-hugger, but what happened before we had trucks and cranes to haul these things away? Why not let nature handle it?

Yea for some reason I feel it would be easier if it was in LA. I tire of OC traffic. Hell even Pomona at the drag tracks would be a good spot.

I'd go more often if it was in LA county closer to the water. I work in Redondo Beach and don't get off until 8AM so I pretty much only make it out to Irvine for the parade of cars leaving the lot.

Physics would beg to differ. Spinning wheels have less grip.

What the hell insurance do you have that's only $85 per month for a Benz??? That is how much I pay for full coverage on our 2012 Volt with a $500 deductible.

so pitted

I'm inclined to call you an excellent driver.

You don't have to put on fancy shoes to let the world know you like cars. You can actually throw on a reasonably stylish shirt, like this Baja Bug from Curb. Make sure to check out the good people over at Blipshift, too, as they've always got great designs. Even if the Baja Bug is rolled. ($15-$28).

You may wish we'd developed laser cannons when we meet the Klingons...

grow up.

He brought up a really good point - driving around downtown LA is so much different then driving around any other large metro area at night. The whole time I lived there, I never thought about that until now. The place is a ghost-town after dark! What a neat experience.
