Whether you like Jeremy or not, the show is really quite good and entertaining. Especially compared to "pinks all out" on the Speed Channel.

I cannot believe he selected a car with LEAF SPRINGS as a "car of the year".

It is not just the whole season if you poke around a bit that site has every episode. I almost hate to give it out worried that it will crash his site.

Now I'll be looking for a ZR1 at my dealer's Red Tag sale event.

How long until Hertz starts renting out their new yellow ZR1-Z with black stripes?

I am posting to the Corvette forum becasue my boss has a C6 and he allows me the pleaseure of staring at it for 15 minutes a day from a window three floors above it.

I must admit that the ZR 1 is the car of all cars! I have tried to talk him into getting the ZR 1 but he wants to trade up to a Z06 instead. Please HELP ME convince the old chap.

He's very funny. Love the show and the episode where he drove the ZR1.

Default Real endorsement

Aren't these the same guys that hung a 200hp outboard motor on the tail gate of a mini pickup for one of their shows? I seem to recall it rolled over and sank.
Now that's an endorsement we can't live without.
