QUOTE (richee3 @ Nov 24, 2010 - 1:15 PM)  I'm sorry, but I don't need every single thing explained to me. "You'll never see his face, you'll never hear his voice. All we know is he's called the Stig." Wtf? Where is the witty sarcastic humor? Yes, we KNOW he's called the Stig. The only reason we're watching this show is because we're all familiar with the real Top Gear. No, that's why YOU are watching the show. A lot of people have never heard of Top Gear before, and this is their first experience with this show. So explaining the Stig on the first episode of the first Top Gear USA is completely understandable. -------------------- |

So explaining the Stig on the first episode of the first Top Gear USA is completely understandable. Yes, that is why I'm watching the show... Good call. And my point was also proven in the second episode. Still no witty or sarcastic humor pertaining to the Stig. Still no humor at all, actually. As I told Ferdi, I feel like this show is more "Car and Driver" than it is "Top Gear." The bit with the Evo was cool, but still copied from Richard Hammond racing an Audi down a mountain against two skiers. I'll admit, in the first episode when we got a preview of what's to come later in the season, I did see a bit that looked interesting. Looks like these three buy some old trucks and take them out and test them. Not something we'll ever see on BBC's Top Gear, so that will be interesting. Otherwise, I really don't feel like this show is aptly named. I enjoyed the bit with the 370Z's quite a bit. Tanner and a blind man vs. the other two guys, and the other two hosts were outdriven by a blind man with less than a day's driving experience. Props to Tanner Foust for that one. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
