    One thing TG hasn't dialed it in yet at is the actual road review segment. The cinematography was gorgeous as always (and a bit trippy too) and I was actually surprised when the ZR1 reared its head. I also knew instantly that Clarkson would backtrack on his California love confession, but as The Stig's times proved, in the right hands it was amazing on a track.

    Everything else in the episode I could basically take or leave. Lots of bad acting in the project film, and for some reason Michael Sheen came off as almost as big a dick as Dick King Jay Kay.

    I know I'm going to get shot in the face for this, but TG has jumped the shark for me. Clarkson telling me the ZR-1 can't go around corners (bullshit) and this lame hobby-shop electric car time-filler kind of clinched it.

    @stuntpuppy: The EU "tests" with the fake slow-mo and reverse footage were particuarly jarring and drawn-out, clearly to keep the episode's budget down. As for the planted audience member with the mustache, who for a moment believed any part of that incident was spontaneous?

    @bmoreDLJ: I guess that's the other thing. Yes, the show has always been scripted, but it somehow managed to maintain the illusion of spontaneity. Now it's like they're just phoning it in.#tips

    @Rust-MyEnemy: You're not getting rich that way.
    I knew a guy who obsessively bought Triumph Dolomite Sprints so that the two mint condition cars he had would be worth more.
    He's still not a millionaire, still buying Dolly Sprints, still not getting it.

    If anybody puts that engine in a soccer mom Volvo I will loose fait in ummanity! This kind of engine belongs in a real car like a Chevell or a 60's Camaro or even an S-10. No swedish crap could handle that manly muscle! It would be like building a Go Kart with a GSX-R engine out of a fridge cardboard box!

    That Vette driver was taking more different lines than Wall Street in the '80s. I can't say I'm surprised he stuffed it.

    I can see how that accident happened...it is very important to get the power down coming out of 8, since 9 is just shy of flat out...but there is very little runoff (about 3 ft) on the outside of 8...so a little too much gas, and an attempted steering correction puts you right in the blue guardrail
