The Ken Block episode was amazing. Granted I have a soft spot for Subarus, but he's a spectacular driver.

YEAAAAAAAH! OMG I wish I had those driving skills.
the budget car where pretty boring to me. Man, during the Celebrity talk, Jeremy was laughing hard as hell. the last time that happened, Will Young was on and he was partly gay or really secure with his manhood.

OK, fellow Mac guy here. Four steps:

1. Download this:
http://www.transmissionbt.com/

2. Download the torrent from link above, then double click the torrent once downloaded.
3. Watch program download for a long time (for me, about an hour since I'm on ultra-fast cable).
4. Enjoy at end of download via Quicktime.
5. There is no Step 5! (Apologies to Jeff Goldblum)

I don't think I could ride with that guy personally. I went on some instructor laps at Road Atlanta last year and I made many faces just like that. Riding is so much more terrifying than driving....

Yeah, one would think that with 1820 seeds, that it wouldn't be. I'm not even halfway done after two hours.

Probably the worst episode of the season so far in my opinion, but still entertaining. The panamera is one ugly car on the outside, but the interior looks amazing.

I can't believe that they did that to the Evo. No way was Jeremy in the car when it got bulldozed or shot at with live bullets though.
