Usually I'll just let it run all night and by the time I wake up in the morning it's done.

*****Spoiler Alert******

Line of the night:

"You'd have to be bonkers to buy a ZR1. Which is why you should buy one anyway." He had the same criticisms that C&D did.....Randy Probst preferred the CTS-V to the ZR1 because the ZR1 was harder to handle in the curves.

I downloaded in 1 1/2 hours. Sorry I didn't share my source earlier, I've been hanging with my son tonight.

Yes, I enjoyed this episode. I also really enjoyed a repeat. The one where they went to Botswana. OMG that was funny.

OMG I almost lost it when they were trying to get up the hill test. Way too funny.
Love the comment from AutoCar about the styling.

The show needs all three. Clarkson can carry an hour by himself because of his bombast but they are definitely at their best when they're calling each other on their BS.

I hope so! It's a gorgeous car

I really liked the last episode, but I think they devoted a little too much time towards their car. Don't get me wrong, it was hilarious, but at the end I felt like there was more to be desired

That was the 8,000 pound episode that paid for the previous one
