"But hey remember Jason Dawe? Yeah... Me neither. So it might be off to a bad start but next season might be all good." Poor Jason Dawe, he was a jolly, affable, good natured fella, but he just wasn't funny or interesting. I like that poor portly guy, but dammit if James May isn't just funny as hell...

Not famous enough I guess, gotta have a big name at front-man. That said I never really thought Evans was a big name either, I recognized his ugly mug from somewhere, but before he was announced as the new host I didn't really know who he was...

Yeah this is actually stupidity. It happens around where I live constantly. Pickup drivers must be some of the most over-confidant people on the planet. They think that: A. anything can fit in the back of their truck (untrue) and B. nothing in the back of their truck ever needs to be tied down (especially untrue).

Man, your routs must suck, either that or I got really lucky. I was over there for a couple of weeks, used the trains for everything not in walking distance (because I didn’t have a car) probably 30-40 trips and I never got “sardined” even once. Maybe I was just lucky enough to avoid the most intense commuter hours

Can they also test the Regera here too? I want to see what revolutionary new engine designs do to this track...

Wasn’t Jiffy Lube the same place that had that big expose a few years ago about how they swindle their customers and how morally bankrupt many of the branch managers are? JL corporate acted as though they were singular cases but it was prevalent in a number of locations, showing a alarming institutional problem with

This is why I only believe in factory stock sports cars, because any car modified to go faster on the drag strip is always one race away from exploding a part of it’s self. A huge sacrifice in reliability for an increase in performance...

Amazing, over a span of 9 years this dude would have to average 304 miles a day to drive that far. It's like driving to the moon and back... Twice!

Yep, if it's been posted for 5 minutes it's already old news... Welcome to the instant gratification generation...

Hello Mr. Collins, it’s an honor to have you here to help enlighten us on an number of burning issues. My first question is; I understand you worked with Jeremy Clarkson for a while on top gear. In your experience is Clarkson less of a dick in person than we have been led to believe? or more of a dick? or maybe all

Yeah feels like a blatant lie, but though the 959 is a pretty hot car there’s no way it’s so fast the government hoards them with things like Veyrons running around unchecked. I have a friend who is a habitual tall-tale-teller (TTT) and he once claimed that he put a boxer/boxster (can’t tell witch he said) in Impreza

I’m sorry, please explain to me again why the MKIV should deserve my fawning adoration? A lot of people seem to talk about it like some kind of mythical car-Eldorado...

So did they just have like a super lean budget?

In looking at the headline I at first worried you were going to start out all sanctimonious, but you are right. Unless you are a millionaire who can jet off to your favorite track/private roadways at will, or you live rather close to a track that has frequent and inexpensive track days, or you live in a place that is

Was it actually produced by a BBC affiliate or was it Top Gear in name only?

Right and I’m sure it is more palatable to US viewers who for some reason don’t enjoy British humor. (I know, I can’t comprehend it either...)

That said despite what people say about Top Gear USA it has been running for 6 seasons (including the current one), the Aussie show’s cast was somehow even more milk-toast and was cancelled after 4 seasons back in 2011... I did catch an episode of Aus and a few of USA a while back, and I can say that charitably you

This. Although I realize there will be very noticeable differences, I relish the idea of having twice the Top gear in my life. I suppose I could have been watching TGUSA and TGAUS all along but fuck that noise...

Yep California bleeding-heart hippies care more about being green than saving lives...
