I think its a lot more complicated than saying I have a track, come race here. Most of the speedways are owned by two large corporations(SMI and ISC) and without those tracks, there’s no NASCAR. I’m willing to bet the contracts with those two companies give the tracks a lot of protection about losing races to Read more

You forgot about odometers. you can’t take that seriously either! Especially if you drive a Ferrari! Read more

I feel like we need to put these two into a boxing ring with those giant oversized gloves and run that on youtube live.... Read more

Why does it cost $750,000 to put an electric driveline in a gas car? You can buy crashed Tesla’s and swap most of the parts and my friends at EV west convert cars to electric every week and the cost of the parts are no where near that level. Maybe Genovation could make me an electric bicycle for $150,000... Read more

Wow does this look like a huge improvement. My biggest complaint with the last reboot were the writers and the forced nature of the hosts reading the script. Everything in this trailer was unscripted, the guys were using their words! If they can keep it to the three of them playing and talking about cars in their own Read more

The most frustrating part of being car enthusiast is not being surrounded by other enthusiasts with the same lifestyle. A die hard sports fan? They get awesome bars with a 100 screens so they can all get together and watch their favorite thing on tv. They have teams in every major city and get to watch them every week

Any one of those makes you a car for spending your free and money time loving cars. HOA’s must suck. Im not even in one and Im not allowed to work on cars in view of the street. Its hell sometimes. Especially leading up to a race if I need a part on a car parked outside. We have to wait till like midnight and get the Read more

Europe has it even better. If you’re driving in another country the tickets dont get sent to you! So rent a car in the netherlands and blow through 20 of these in france and nothing happens.... usually. I was late to the 24hrs of LeMans and totally blew off the last big speed camera. A few miles down the road a cop on Read more

This book is pretty awesome if you’re into ghost tracks. There’s a follow up book called more ghost tracks, another just on speedways, and this one which is older but pretty cool too. I hope Google starts saving historical years of satellite images - could you imagine being able to look up what all these places looked Read more

They should just install breathalyzers in cars and if you drive more than a mile with DRL’s on it makes you pull over and blow. Read more

I think the miles driven, given his cars did make a difference. I have friends with super rare cars that like you see maybe 300 miles a year, but man its so much better than all the others parked in museum permanently. But Joey had a 360 and 911TT. I dont know one person, let alone a car guy that would drive those 11 Read more

Exactly the article I came to post! Not one car mag had the information. I tried asking here and everyone either said he races bikes(which isn’t true) or pointed to the Jalopnik article which had good info, but not really supportive of him being a car guy as the title suggests -11 miles a day in his sports cars. So I Read more

Um yeah, read most of the articles on Joey “being a car guy.” All I found was that he raced in the toyota celebrity race 20 years ago. He wanted to race bikes at age 8 but didn’t, and owned two sports cars for 12 years that he drove on average 11 miles a day. Don’t you think you would put more than 11 miles a day Read more

Yeah I’ve read that. It said he wanted to race motorcycles at age 8 but never did. It says he owned two sports cars(sold them I guess) and during the 12 years he owned them he drove roughly 11 miles a day, combined. If my friends and I owned a ferrari and a twin turbo 911 we would definitely drive more than 11 miles a Read more

Nope. There are all sorts of car guys from the pebble beach auctions to the racers to the mechanics to the kid that worked two jobs to by his first car that he loves more than anything. And list goes on and on. My gripe is that Joey owned(is in like he doesn’t now) two sports cars, a 360 and 911 TT and in 12 years, he Read more

My point is that Top Gear sold him as a car enthusiast when really he’s an actor and this a simply a job. But if you look at people’s comments, they say he is an actual car guy and its well documented. Where? Read more

I think you guys need to read the articles a little closer. He never raced motorcycles, he wanted to... I can’t find one instance of him racing cars outside the toyota celebrity grand prix. He owned two sports cars that he drove roughly 11 miles a day... He also owned an SUV. Supposedly he once owned over a 100 Read more

Chris is the real deal for sure. No doubt they won’t grab someone off the street but think of all the awesome car guys you know doing videos and how many of them you would rather see on top gear than a celebrity reading lines? Why not find both like Clarkson May and Hammond? Read more

No doubt! Strange things happen when you quit your job to play and race cars for 7 years. If someone took my car from my driveway I would be pissed and find a way to keep it. Read more
