I have an idea for the boys at Top Gear (The REAL Top Gear)

[TheMightyFavog]

1. Come to the United States

2. Purchase a car for no more than $500.

3. Attempt to drive the length of US 41 From Fort Wilkins State Park in Michigan to Downtown Miami.

1. They did something very similar a while back.

I think they had $1,000 dollars for the car, though. I think there was an older Caddy and an IROC Camaro. As I recall, one of the cars was defaced with pink graffiti that said "NASCAR Sucks!" while they were traveling through the deep south. They barely made it out alive.

2. Miami to New Orleans, but yeah.

Camaro RS, pickup truck, big Caddy. They defaced each others cars to rile up the southernfolk.

3. And had rocks thrown at them by hicks.

I guess their guns were at the cleaners :P

4. Some stuff on Top Gear is obviously faked. This though

was not. I saw an interview with May a while ago about how they literally ran for their lives. Them, the camera crew, everyone.

5. I always wondered if it was faked.

I guess the woman at the gas station that said she had "called the boys" had really done that. And I'm really surprised that the BBC would be so naive.

I wonder if any of that made their local papers...
