So instead of Oliva Munn, how about Sara Underwood?




I Fully Approve of this idea.

Same here; it's an awesome truck. Ford has definitely been doing some good things recently.

The New York guy (The guy that sounds like he's from Brooklyn with the black mole on his face) really needs to get kicked off.


He doesn't know anything about cars... Did you guys see the episode where they try to do the longest burnout? He couldn't even burn out, all he burned was the clutch, BIG TIME CLUTCH BURN. How was he selected for this show? He's a dumbass, he can't drive, he's not funny... What more do you need before you fire him!?


The fat-beard is still just as annoying as before, they should def get rid of him too... Leave Tanner, he's cool and knows how to drive well... The Brooklyn guy is #1 priority to be fired, he's just awful. The fat guy + beard is lame as hell... He needs to relax majorly... He tries to act all kick back but he's so nervous/tense while trying to be what he's supposed to be. If he can loosen up a bit and actually be funny, he'd be ok... That other guy however, NO WAY. He brings nothing to the table and he's hard to look at. I have no idea how he was selected for this role, NO CLUE.

Having been on the set, I can tell you they gel together really well. Remember people it took Top Gear (british) almost 2 full seasons to gel and start to be real good.

As to putting some stupid ****ing slag **** on the show, that would ruin the whole thing and make it "classic american crap" like most the other car shows. The ONLY female who should even be alowed anywhere near a car show is Jessie Combs (the chick from extreme4x4) and only because she knows her car **** inside and out, and can wrench on her own stuff.

Also, can a moderator edit the pics posted above and change them from images to just links? They are so big that they are screwing up the page frames/lines. Thanks!

Lets keep in mind during the drifting competition against the blind guy, he couldn't do a burn out, let alone hold a drift or a slide, yet when he reviews the MBZ SLS in this episode, they try to make it "seem" like he can handle or dance the car around effortlessly.

Yeah, that was totally obvious and lame.

I'm going to have to disagree. I know that Jesse knows her **** and is very knowledgeable when it
comes to just about anything about cars. But her presentation sucks. She is like a shop teacher telling
you what she is doing exactly and going over everything. Even when she was on Mythbusters it was
the same way. I feel like I'm in class and should be taking notes when she is talking.

I think episode 5 was too much like the British Leyland cheap-car challenge except GM is still in business. It was pretty cool seeing Tony Hawk as a guest.


And in case anyone missed them.

Considering that the video for the first episode is still up after 5 weeks, I am thinking that the History channel hasn't hired anyone to remove them.
