OK, OK people - let's remember that their show is ENTERTAINMENT. Don't take
it so seriously (they certainly don't seem to). I for one relish the show,
and actually listen to it on the computer on Sunday's (since I am usually
working Saturday mornings). I think it is hilarious and very entertaining.
For me it is like automotive Jeopardy, where I try to guess the problem
before they do.
Yea, so they are a bit harsh on our beloved car(s), but remember that one of
them (I forget which) drives an old Alfa Romeo. That is definitely
something worth ridicule. (My apologies to any AR owners - I used to have
one and it was really nothing but a PITA)
