    My heart has grown three sizes this day. Now I am the :jellydance: one. That's winning at life, bud. :thumbsup:

    I need to find a way to get them out to Circuit of the Americas. Maybe I can bribe Jezza with some Franklin's BBQ...

    haha do it!
    I think what helped in my written application was offering Jeremey to drive my truck. Literally said if I was chosen to come, they could take my truck off-roading and make fun of me.
    I also said I would bring my girlfriend who loves the show, and they really try to keep a 50/50 male/female ratio

    It was great! They seemed more relaxed and actually had more fun.

    Also glad it is weekly...I admit... I would have binged.

    He looked really scared when he tried to slow down in that McLaren on that first drag race.

    Jeremey said at the show that he was genuinely terrified.

    Man, I paid $80 to subscribe and I'm sooo disappointed with the second episode, the part were a famous it's supposed to appear it got old already and the training facility part made me want to turn it off.

    Well... I suppose I'm the only one that liked it :notsure:

    Just finished watching it and although admittedly not as good as some of the Top Gear productions I still enjoyed it. The way I look at it is this... Give them a few episodes to find their grove. It certainly wasn't bad and I "personally" think it will keep getting better. I do agree with they need to drop the celebrities dying. That is going to get old really quick. It was funny the first time around but enough.

    Very psyched to see these guys back on my TV. That said, I'm not crazy about 'the American' as the driver, but we'll see. I'm interested to see what they do once they hit their stride; the motoring parts of the premier were awesome. The parts in the tent seemed kind of like they were trying too hard, but I think it's just because they hadn't gotten into the groove yet.
