They had Brian Wilson without his beard vs some South African cricket nobody. It was weird.

drgitlin posted:1200 miles in a day? I do hope you weren’t the only person driving that entire time. Nope. Worked out as well as it could have, honestly. My wife and i were driving from iowa to nh for Christmas with the families. We have two big dogs and no decent dog boarders in the area, so we usually drive and take them with us. We ran into some bad blowing snow at the Indiana/Ohio border and got a hotel room. 8 hours later, the snow was still coming down over the next 600 miles we had to drive, so we drove back to iowa. So drive 8 hours, sleep 8 hours, drive 8 hours. A lovely 24 hours, but it was broken up. Now she's on a plane and I'm hanging out with the dogs. I have done the trip from nh to iowa straight by myself once. It's not advised. As an aside, after the Demon blew by me yesterday, I saw a different colored Charger heading the other way sitting behind a flat bed, running but unoccupied with a pair of state troopers behind that. I wonder what speed you'd have to be doing in Illinois to win a ride to jail instead of a ticket, assuming it wasn't an outanding warrant or something. E: On TGT, having driven across NY on interstate 90 a ton, I can vouch for the left lane campers there. The only good thing I can say about the NY system is an ample supply of rest areas that stock local produce in the summers and some decent food options with clean bathrooms. Beats McDonald's the whole way with a building that reeks of poo poo and piss. Eat This Glob fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Dec 16, 2017 |

With how few episodes they actually do, you'd think they could get interesting celebrities people have actually heard of before.

Best part of the ep was when Brian Wilson conned them into thinking he's a baseball player. Other dude may want to give up the fashy haircut tho??

I've done New York to San Francisco in 3 days with an Alzheimer's patient on a stretcher in a minivan wearing diapers. My mom and I had to transport her mother from one side of the coast to the other when we moved because grandma was in a lovely home and mom wanted to be close to her in her final years. It was a coffee and cigarette fueled adventure that involved my mom having to hose out the inside of the van due to a diaper blowout. I was 18 and I don't think I'll ever forget the experience.

I've watched the last two episodes Thursday nights at around 9-10pm EST. Does anyone know just how early it gets posted? I'm super psyched for May's Stinger review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2suDlF4kK8U

The SIARPC sections are better than they were on old TG but they're still loving terrible. Before they would at least bring out known celebrities rather than whoever the gently caress they have on now.

Someone mentioned Jet Blue having a sponsorship deal last episode because of course they did but is this new? Too Gear couldn't what with the BBC right? Seems like that's a thing I'm noticing more and more.

That poo poo sucked, it was so contrived. Seriously? Product placement with something that isn't auto related on this show? gently caress off. I can't say that I'm overly happy with this season so far. Maybe they should just hang up their spurs and call it done. I think they are played out.

I really enjoyed the Conversation Street segment, I could honestly watch a show of trio just talking poo poo for an hour. Also the office park racing final was quite entertaining.

Aside from the fact that none of that stuff Jeremy tried would work, it was beyond unbelievable too because JetBlue doesn稚 have any classes, there痴 only economy. At least pick one of the other airlines that has a domestic first class

When does Top Gear UK come back?

Anyone else notice the pattern on Hammond's suit? I want it.  edit: simple way to improve the fastest person who lives with a bear: keep the paddington guy but replace the montana bear guy with marky mark, ditch the stuffed toy and use some of that amazon money to have cgi paddington and ted ride along and do the commentary for the laps winter.mute fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Dec 22, 2017 |

I have skipped every celebrity thing they've done this season. They're just boring as hell. As it is these episodes all feel about the same as the worst episodes of top gear, so that's alright I guess. They should do more challenges and specials. The Chiron hood cam and exhaust sound shots were awesome though.
