Easy: a naturally aspirated flat-pane V8.

I like Top Gear, but I think I'd watch a car show with just James May even more.

In newer cars, I rented a Citroen C2 in July 2006, for the long weekend of Bastille Day, as I had recently arrived in France. I just got whatever was the cheapest and could take me to the Mediterranean coast.

Oh, *that* race? You mean, the bike nearly won over a runner, and the muscle car was TOTALLY late to the party?

Yeah, because nearly able to beat a man on a bicycle is exactly what I expect of a muscle car. There must have been a corner or two? ;-)

That's fucking IT. America, due to this heresy, your car privileges are hereby REVOKED.

On my first trip to Portugal, I once lingered a bit longer than I should have in the passing lane. Despite going a little bit over the limit, the inevitable happened, and a BMW 530d showed up on my tailgate.

I'd rather have an M135i. Curse you, BMW!

Does the DirecTV feed have the 44 minutes (to make space for ads) or the full 60 minutes version?

But then, you'd have a bunch of Mustang V6s.

What the heck is this? Photoshopped MiTo? If this is real, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Always hilarious to see Air Canada winning "best airline in North America", they're all right, not that amazing, but I prefer a less convenient layover in Toronto than flying with anything based in the US, so they kind of just win by default...

Sure, Bullitt and all, but also, Le Mans!

Yes.

Does that have a live rear axle? If so, can it even turn? ;-)
