O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #30 – November 29, 2010, 04:58:22 PM Its almost like they tried to copy the BBC version as closely as possible, but without out the humor.So it was a little boring and the guy with the beard annoys me a little as well, but I have to say its better than most TV.

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #31 – November 29, 2010, 07:18:04 PM I think its going to come around and be a decent show. The Italian/Jersey s guy sure can't drive though. Him trying to do a burnout in that 370z was hilarious. Only thing that got burnt was the clutch. lol. Quote Selected
O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #32 – November 30, 2010, 11:30:16 AM I Tivo'ed the first episode and got around to watching it last night. Going in, I didn't expect it to be anywhere near as good as the UK version but I was hoping it would be better than it turned out. I was very dissapointed when they introduced their test driver as the Stig. I mean come on, do the producers really expect us to believe that he is the same Stig? Maybe I am expecting too much, but I took a liking to the UK show and it's hosts from the first show I saw and I did not get that feeling at all with this version. There is something about the UK version that is just hard to pin down, because even my wife and 9 year old son who are not car people at all enjoy watching it with me from time to time.To be fair, I'll give it at least 5 episodes before I make up my mind to continue.

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #33 – November 30, 2010, 12:09:25 PM I really enjoy the dry Brittish wit. I recall Jeremy explaining how some POS old car he's driving will starve for oil in the corners, but that's not a concern because the cooling system is rubbish and the car will overheat before oil starvation becomes a problem...

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #37 – December 05, 2010, 05:49:17 PM Rutledge wood has no knowledge of cars and is to retarded to help the show succeed in any way. He has been hated on speed channel for quite some time and will help destroy the good name of top gear if he isn't replaced.Adam Ferrara is a comedian and not even into cars, he is there for comic relief and he isn't even good at it. I get irritated listening to him quote car facts when I know he has no idea what he is talking about.Tanner Faust is the final host, not only is this a horrible choice but it is even sillier to think he can be the American Jeremy clarkson! Tanner is such a monotone guy his voice overs get boring, not only that but tanner is such a narcissistic idiot that he ruins the show with his arrogant attitude. All in all this show needs some real changes, meaning hosts. Quote Selected
O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #38 – December 06, 2010, 01:16:33 PM I will agree about Rutledge Wood. He is too dumb to function and the fact he drivers some of those cars, that Aston Martin for example, I can't believe the producers trust him driving them. It might be more productive giving a 16 year old with a learners permit the chance, it would probably produce more. Quote Selected

O.K.....I'm watching Top Gear..... Reply #40 – December 06, 2010, 01:55:32 PM I guess I'm in the minority here, but I kinda liking how the show is shaping up now that we are a few episodes in.The only guy that really annoys me is Ferrera because he has little knowledge about cars. I like the other two. Foust can drive, but is pretty biased towards imports. Quote Selected
