Thanks, but I got really sad around the 38 minute mark... they were in my backyard and I never knew.

When they said "Blue Ridge" I thought "Yeah, with that speed limit?"

Good job, and less America bashing than usual.

It's official- Jeremy can't drive worth a E36 M3 and Captain Slow owns them all.

Interesting how the US version of the SLS test is different than the UK version of the test, even though they are both done in the US

I was going to meet up with them in Intercourse, but my wife said Intercourse was reserved for her alone.

Goddamnit. They drove through Central PA? Missed it. It was my chance to make an ass of myself for a split second to the 4628291917 people that download the show worldwide.

I just watched it. While I was viewing it, my wife came in right at the time they were displaying the energy drink and laughed herself right onto the floor.

I watched it this evening. I thought the Bethlehem episode was going to be the season premier, but evidently I was wrong.

Good episode. Good show. Well done.

I'll take the 458 and a fire extinguisher thank you very much.

There isn't enough time left on the World Clock for TGUSA to even approach the Brits.

I got an invitation to go to VIR for the filming. They invited about 60 cars for an hour open track session. Then selected about 10 or 12 cars to hang around for more filming. I didn't make the second cut. The MINI Justa Cooper wasn't cool enough.

Yup. I can hear the track from my house. I probably thought it was some squids being douchebags.

I loved that they called Needell the "Emergency Stig" in the end credits.

my favorite part was the subtle way they used the rear wing on the Porsche as a table when they ate at McDonald's.. i also love that they treated NASCAR's history with reverence and even seemed to have a sense of genuine awe when they were driving around North Wilksboro raceway.
