...I've watched all the specials and the amphibious car attempts and the indestructible Toyota, and now I don't know what to do with myself.

Is that show actually any good? I've never dared to watch it. Top Gear not being in the UK (to me) just seems wrong, somehow.

Technically, what I linked is NOT Top Gear: America. But what Top Gear America SHOULD be.

Show is actually called Roadkill, hosted by David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan, both long term car guys, hot rodders, and racers.

What do they do? Kind of like Top Gear Challenge and Specials episodes, only. Updates every fourth Friday.

Well, they haven't quite done anything like the Bolivia Special, but their "Viva Ranchero! Alaska or Bust!" episodes are pretty fucking spectacular. Driving from LA to Anchorage, Alaska. In the Winter. In a hot rod Ford Ranchero. That's a MINIMUM of 3,396 miles or 5,469 km, one way. What do they want to do there? RACE the Ranchero.

Yes. Good show. Lots of fun.
