Haven't had a chance to read the entire article, just skimmed but since when did Top Gear become a stunt show? Seems like Top Gear America is going to feature a stunt every episode, I hope it doesn't it become some sort of explosion filled spectacle with motor cycles jumping through rings of fire with nuclear explosions in the background.

Didn't really care about TG US untill recently when I started to listen to podcasts and stuff from Adam. I really like his attitude and personality.

And really, even if it's shit and unwatchable, all that means is we're left with what we have right now. We're either gonna gain a good show or gain nothing. A can't lose situation.

Exactly, I don't understand all the hate and vitriol you see on other car sites with posters who automatically assume it is going to suck more than anything has ever sucked before.

No one knows. They only just started shooting.
It's assumed sometime this fall, either shoed in somewhere where there's room or as a mid-season replacement for a show that gets cancelled.

"So she pops the hood and looks under it and says, “What do we got? High-rise manifold with a double pumper.” Awesome, except for I’m looking at cross-draft injection. There’s cross-ram injection, and it’s not carbureted, it’s injected, and there’s— it essentially looks like four side-draft Webbers in a cross-ram configuration, except what comes out of her mouth is, “Hey! Hah! High- rise with a double pumper!"
i love you adam

And according to the UK production team, it's going to be done exactly like the UK Top Gear as of late, which I thought you hated. So you seem to be a little confused.

It sounds like Carolla is getting a pretty free hand in controlling the direction of this show. Back when the rumor was that the show would be called "Gear", he would constantly refer to it as "Top Gear" on his show. That, and the whole freedom to say whatever about whichever car is also one of his talking points. It suonds a lot like the directional control that Clarkson had over the revival of Top Gear, and I for one am extra-pumped after reading this interview.

![]() Adam seems to repeat himself a lot... "I met with Jeremy, who seemed like a real nice guy. I met with him..." "As far as I know, and I don’t know that they’ve booked anybody just yet, but as far as I know..." Not a bad thing, I just noticed that. He seems alright, I'm still not sure though, I'm afraid I'm going to compare them to the Original trio too much to really judge them for who they are. But I like Tanner and Eric so far, so I'm most doubtful about Adam right now.

No reason to be offended, you haven't been a teenage girl since 1993, apparently they eat that stuff up these days.
I assume you had better taste

She's just aging really rapidly. Posting on the Interwebs will do that.
