It was when Walmart Gangsta made a thread about how ugly my son was, and the hilarity that ensued.


Wait, wrong thread.

For some reason my favorite quote (from the visiting the USA segment) is, "They shot their own sign, what are they going to do to us?".

Will there be funny moments in the new U.S. Top Gear? I am curious to see how badly NBC will fsck up the show.

I say again, why can't BBC just show it on BBC America the same weekend? Dammit. I mean....$$$$$$ is lost every time I download an episode.

Either way, I hope the dealer will let me test drive the CTS-V
If their car can't survive a bad review from a program that is filmed in another country across an ocean where they don't drive on the same side of the road as us ... Well, I'd say they have bigger problems than Jeremy being cantankerous.

Young padawan, that is a reference to Apocalypse Now-click, a 1979 movie about the Vietnam War (though actually set in Cambodia and filmed in the Phillipines) and quite possibly one of the best movies of all time. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Watch it, then read Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness"...your life will never be the same.

Gosh DANGIT &*#&^#*$&#*&$#! I was JUST about to post the same DANG*&^# thing but got beat yet again to the punch!

I've got my download button set...I hope Clarkson reviews the 2G CTS-V this season. It sure has a lot of "bongs" for him to get cheesed off over.

GREAT trailer. "I don't want to grow up."

EDIT: The Top Gear Blog with some season teasers. http://transmission.blogs.topgear.com/
