TOP GEAR USA: UPDATE -- It's getting much better. Show #3 was excellent

I just thought I'd update my previous review -- show #1 definitely sucked. Show #2 was better. Show #3 was funny as hell. Nicely done.

I didn't think the first show was THAT bad. Obviously a lot of the humour was canned.. etc. They've got huge british shoes fill.... 3rd show. I was in stitches. 4th looks even funnier, can't wait for the paint ball wars...

Agree. Still feels like the three hosts watched the UK version soo many times they are trying to emulate Richard, Jeremy, and James.
For example in episode 3, in the UK version Richard and/or Jeremy usually rear-end or bump into James' car any time they do that shot in the challenges where the three cars pull up and stop together.
In the US version, instead of the 'bump' routine, it seems it is for Rutledge to break something off of the others' cars. He busted off the caddy hood ornament, and also a mirror from tanner's car....
01/26/2023Better Running VirtualBox or VMWARE Virtual Machines on Windows 10+ Forgive me, Reader, for I have sinned. I has been nearly 3 years since my last blog entry. The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......
04/04/2020How many Ventilators for the price of those tanks the Pentagon didn't even want?This goes WAY beyond Trump or Obama. This is decades of poor planning and poor use of funds. Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......
01/28/2020Copyright Troll WarningThere's a copyright troll firm that has automated reverse-image searches and goes around looking for any posted images that they can make a quick copyright claim on. This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
