Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

You fancy mofo with your motor trend on demand subscription. :P

It wasn't too bad price-wise. But the flaw is that i still need to wait a month for another episode of roadkill..

Can't wait for youtube red..

 

only reason why is i dont really know who British Chris evens is never seen him in anything

He was on one ep of top gear. But other than that he mostly does radio

ahh i see well im not sure i am going to be watching the new top gear may give it a season test run then revisit it at a later season see if its improved or gotten worse. i will be watching old top gear on amazon though wonder how big of a budget they got because i have seen some of the stuff they are trying to do and it looks awsome.

I'll watch it.  Chris Harris makes great youtube vids, now he has top gears budget...  and Sabine can drive like nobodies business, so it should be some good competition between them two

 

only thing I know about the other guy is from when he's been on top gear a couple times..  I have a feeling he might be like Rutledge Wood of american top gear, everyone is gonna want him out.  or I could be completely wrong... but from what I've seen I don't think he'll make that great of a host for top gear

 

edit:

wait, the 3rd host isn't gonna be the one in the pic, but an ex F1 driver?  so they're all gonna be awesome drivers? top gear is kinda turning into fifth gear... and why do they need the stig anymore?  all the "set the fastest time against the stig" compentitions are actually gonna make the stig sweat now

Only thing I care about Christmas anymore are the basketball games...

no NBA team here anymore, refuse to root for Portland even though Paul Allen owns them. College teams here suck aside from Gonzaga. Then I feel like a bandwagoner.

I just watch football and baseball.

"Although the press has reported that Harris and Schmitz are complete ‘unknowns’, we know just how good this show could really be. It’s hard to predict just how the new hosts will interact on camera."

 

Sabine have been on Top Gear before, she is in no way a camera shy person, and from what I have seen from her, a good presenter. And Harris, how is his an 'unknown' when he has his own show on YouTube? I mean, his latest video with the La Ferrari, 918, and the P1 had both Marino Franchitti and Tiff Needell.

 

At this point in time Chris, nor Sabine should be an unknown. Maybe when it comes to public television, but they are natural as presenters.

Yeah that sucks. OKC didn't really deserve a team but Seattle wasnt all that great. OKC has a great fanbase. And I'm glad Sacramento didn't lose their team.

I loved the Blazers back when they had Roy. Just cus he's a good dude.

I don't want to take another team. Would rather wait for an expansion... if that ever happens. Basketball is an easy sport to root for players over teams though.

If nintendo ever happened to go down the dumps, then the Mariners would be in question as well.

Mehhh EA hasn't really messed up a PC port of a frostbite game that I know of. Just their business model is usually the problem.

I'm still not gonna buy it til it comes out. Looks cool on the consoles though.

If you wax you don't have to worry about rain as much. Everything just slides off lol.

Of course it's not perfect but MUCH better than non-waxed paint. Almost to the point where you could just rinse and wipe down your car and it looks exactly like it did after you washed it.

the thing is: the last time i've waxed a car was last year. and that was just putting it on after the car dries. no claybar, none of that shit. just wash, dry, and slap that wax on there. but i plan on doing a proper car detailing some time soon.

I got to try the game out on an XBone (EAacess) I'm still terrible with controllers lol...

But it was neat... Lots of cutscenes though. Not my type of game in that respect. The characters seem kinda... Stupid. Lol

But the cars, the modding, etc. was neat. Fun game to fool around on.

Guess we will have to see what everyone else thinks.

the reason i wanted it is that you can buy alnost any car and modify it to suit you, after you found your perfect match. You pwn ken block and all other legends, you rule them ALL! (Im going to atempt playing through the game with only a Volvo 242)
