    I like the scene at 12 minutes in...where the Maverick is leading the herd of cattle during the cattle roundup. The cattle follow the 75 Maverick, instead of the BMW and Miata....Tradition still holds...

    ...Priceless!! :burnout:

    and it was a different maverick they turned into a 4x4...71 or 2 I think. VERY entertaining show though. had me laughing out loud a couple of times...wanted that black interior and the deluxe gas cap :(

    The mavy took a good beating. The shoe lace belt had me rolling on the floor. The other cars had their age on their side. The mav is obviously the clear winner! Did you all cringe as I did when they took the sawzall to the roof? :cry: Cant save them all I guess.

    Most of the time, I can't stand to watch that show, I'd rather watch the original BBC one.

    Same here. It's had its moments, but not many...

    That said, Top Gear UK in its current format was dull as hell for its first couple of seasons. It took years for Clarkson, Hammond and May to become what they are today, so I'm willing to give them a chance. I want SO BADLY for Top Gear USA to not suck. Still holding out hope that Adam, Tanner, and whomever they ultimately replace Rutledge with will come into their own in a year or two.


    BTW, for anyone who missed the show, (I did) you can watch it online here.

    I'm about to check it out now...

    I do like the BBC one better, but I just can't always relate to what they are talking about.
