American Top Gear!

[Ripper]

Where can I watch the BBC top gear? I can never find it on TV, and I can't find it on the internet other than youtube clips. HELP ME!

If you prefer cars to Clarkson's ENORMOUS EGO, check out Fifth Gear. Much better show.

Top Gear is a show about three guys that take outrageously expensive cars that few can afford, and go real fast up and down a runway outside of London.

WOW.

If you have an interest in cars, at all ends of the price range, ad want to know how they compare, check out Fifth Gear.

Fifth Gear did try to capture the magic of Top Gear w/ their own set of challenges, but it failed miserable. So they gave up on imitating TG, and revert back to every car review show on the planet.

Wasnt FG cancelled last season? I was surprised when they came back this season, but with half the roster and no studio footage at all.

Tanner Foust is a douchenozzle of epic proportions and incompetent as all get out.
Ever see him try and "review" cars on SpeedTV on whatever show that was? Yeah. The show is going to be that awful. I think one of the Lambo's he got in once, he got all the way up to 50 or 60MPH.
Can't tell you how exciting that was!!

The reason TG is awesome is b/c it's so over the top. Anything else is just a cheap Mickey Mouse copycat. It's destined to fail, and I'm glad it will.
So great- they review a Corvette, Mustang GT, Camaro SS and Charger in the first episode.
Now what?

Top gear is my form of reality tv. No, it's not realistic to life, but it isn't supposed to be. It's fun. God forbid three grown men get to have fun with crazy cars, and videotape it for my amusement. I love the British version because of the absurdity. IF you don't like top gear, watch the episode where they cross the amazon in 3 cars they bought sight unseen from bolivia. It's awesome TV.

I think Tommy Kendall should be the host of American "Gear" with Adam Corolla as a co-host (he's a total car nut), and I dunno who else for the 3rd presenter...maybe another former racing driver? someone who knows about cars, though...also, FU** JAY LENO!!!!!

I'd rather watch pass time.

I have an idea for a show. Call it something like "American Beater." Showcase hotrods built on a budget, but that can "tote the mail."

I'd be down with that.

Predictable bigotted 'jokes' and the Top Gear format of 3 middle aged blokes dicking about acting like 15 year olds in cars has been done to death.

You just know that the caravan they're towing is going to get trashed, or that any type of contrived race they set up is going to result in a demolition derby. You just know that as one of them stops and opens the door, one of the others is going to run into it and take the door off...or any number of takes on the same theme. Funny the first time, maybe even the second, but not series after series.

There were flashes of comedy genius, like trying to turn a reliant robin three wheeler into the Brit version of the space shuttle - that was genuinely side splitting, but variations of the same joke ever since have been worn very thin.
