HAha well we'll see in about 5 more years. Oh and the reason ppl over here in the states dont touch rotary gins that much is because most americans dont understand how they work. Think about what makes more power a piston that goes up and down which vibrates the engine so much or a rotor that keeps spining and evens every thing out. I mean a 13B Rew is known as the V-8 killer. a 20B kills the V12. and the 20B Rew matches the V16

That dumbass needs a basic lesson in combustion efficiency.

That is not an American car show. I have never seen it before and it is god awful. That's not to say there's anything that compares to top gear here or anything like that just saying that's substandard even for America.

EDIT
Sorry, double post

This is where i'd link that awful lexus IS-F review which is on the same lovely level (if I could find it). They're all undeniably bad, and the ones here in canada are probably even worse. I'm just curious why 95% of NA review shows are "spec sheet + shots of it driving slowly down a country lane". Doesn't have to be top gear entertaining, but for gently caress's sake have some balls and tell people what you actually think.

I just watched that whole season of Canada's Worst driver for some reason beyond my comprehension. The conclusion was total BS, they chose the guy who decided on his own to pull over and stop, rather than the old lady who broke dozens of laws in one small trip, and was completely oblivious to what she was doing. She is by far the greater danger.

The worst driver in that season got kicked off the show anyway. I do agree though, Dale should have taken the title. She just doesn't understand she has no business being anywhere near a car.

I felt sorry for the dude with the wife. She was just straight up abusive.

Also, the two girls bailing out of the spinning car has to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. They are lucky as poo poo the car didn't run them over.

I don't think that's supposed to happen. Or is it? I've never had really agressive brakes.

No, it happens. We had an autoX go into dusk once with new HP+ pads and fresh rotors and it was throwing sparks on every application of the brakes. Pretty cool but unfortunately no one got any pictures of it.

Also, there are no-stud classes (rubber to ice) if studs are too much trouble, but you have to be kinda insane so they tend to be empty.
