The Official Car Talk Video Thread
You know how Sharper Image used to sell those clocks with nature sounds in them to help you go to sleep?
Yea, I want to fall asleep to that car idling. And then a WOT pull to wake me up in the morning.

the sound is fking intoxicating. I was seriously just on cloud 9 listening to this thing. I think I want one. 
actually back in '98 when I got my Supra I was also considering a GTS. But I got the Supra because I always wanted to get one, so I did. But I've also always wanted to own a loud American muscle car.

also I personally prefer Chris Harris' commentary over Clarkson's for actual substance. Clarkson is definitely more entertaining, but he is a bit biased at times... comes off more as a straight up car guy than an automotive journalist

Marvelous review, it's nice to see a new guy and new video style other than Top Gear and such. I liked this better than the Top Gear videos because those usually seem to be more occupied with the theatrics and "cinema" feel of the videos rather than the actual content.. This guy rocks!

The guy was drunk and had passed out. The driver didn't even know what happened.
butt.. it's in Mexico. 
The sound of the GT-R breaking away at the end..
Definitely wreckless and glad no one got hurt, but I've seen worse.. at least traffic was relatively light.

Bat mobile documentary.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCAWj...ayer_embedded#!
As Hollywood director Joel Schumacher remarked, "There is no Batman without the Batmobile." Being the car guys that we are, we can't help but agree. Besides, Schumacher should know a thing or two on the subject; after all he directed two films based on the iconic Caped Crusader.Now a new documentary gives us a closer look at what makes a Batmobile a Batmobile. Its release comes just on time as Christopher Nolan's latest Batman flick "The Dark Knight Rises" hits theaters worldwide.Check out the preview of the documentary below and, should it tickle your fancy enough, drop a few bucks on the Blu-ray or digital download when it is finished for the Holiday Season 2012.

Sure they were racing but when they actually floored it there was just one car there off too the side which was passed within a second. There's been things a million times worse.
Gtr ? i wonder who's vette it was :P
i think it wasnt a fair race either vette driver had to go behind that car to pass the car at the front of him
