It was an ok episode, but listening to Clarkson rag on alternative energy for the thousandth time is getting really old.

thelightguy posted:Because driving into NJ involves jersey drivers and driving out of NJ involves paying tolls. As someone who grew up in Jersey, I actually don't know of a single way to leave that doesn't involve paying a toll. There are only a few border crossings to the west and south due to the Delaware and north or east is New York. They love letting you in for free but gently caress you if you want to leave.

FogHelmut posted:Where 295 loops around Trenton and turns into 95 in PA is free. I think there might be a few single lane country roads elsewhere. That would explain why I didn't know about it. I stayed away from Trenton like it had the plague. Which it may as well have.

IceAgeComing posted:its ok to like top gear as a dumb car show: but if you start taking the political views of jeremy clarkson seriously then you deserve to be mocked While I agree with this for the most part, it's just as dumb as John Stewart claiming that because the Daily Show is on Comedy Central, it should just be viewed as comedy. Both of them, especially Clarkson due to how viewed his show is around the world, are on huge shows who are seen by more than just people who see them as comedy shows. The BBC is technically governmentally sponsored programming, so when you have Jezza being a racist (and his schtick is, whether he is or not. Or gently caress, James the colonial and Hammond the modern yabbo hating the foreigners whoever they are, mexicans cough cough), it is obviously going to offend someone. I still love TG but any of you denying the fact it's a bunch of middle aged, anti-modernization guys, jerking off about super cars; are out of your mind. They poo poo on anything that isn't made by a white person from the EU and even if they give props to an Asian car, there's always some snide comment.

The Jag racing to Geneva section was the only amusing part of tonight's episode and it wasn't near as good as any of the other races they've done before.

I actually hollered "gently caress yeah" when they actually accomplished what they set out to do in the recent Roadkill. I wasn't expecting that at all. e; speaking of youtube car shows, Project Binky has a new episode out today/tomorrow depending on when you read this.

Two things. First does anyone else feel like Hammond just finished playing a pirate in some play right before this picture was taken? And second someone should probably make a Grand Tour thread soon.

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.

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.

captainOrbital posted:How could you possibly know that? I've watched all the "celeb" interviews this season, they're just boring as hell. I'd rather watch the stunt men get blown up last season, at least it takes half of the time. At least before they showed us a list of all the "celebs" doing their laps so we could see who was the fastest, now we just get two of them and I don't know and/or couldn't give a gently caress of who they were.

projecthalaxy posted:Yeah, I've loved these last couple of history based episodes. What I would like from either TGUK season 25 or the Grand Tour is another Cheap Car challenge, the cheaper the better. Still one of my favorite segments in Top Gear history was them trying to buy cars in Miami for a thousand dollars. Yeah the cheap car challenges are some of my favorite episodes.

I wonder if they know how much people hate the star in a car bit. If I actually watched it on TV I would change the channel during it, it's so bad.

Only 6 episodes this season and the last one was a stinker. I couldn't give a poo poo about SUVs and the testing was boring anyway. The Alpine part was decent but not enough to make up for the rest of the episode.
