I cant remember the hosts name, I think its Jermey or something like that. Either way, he hates every vehicle. He was bitching about the CCX. I'd cream my pants just to see one of those things, let alone drive one. :confused:

I thought it was funny -- didn't he like the h2?

Jeremy Clarkson did like the H2, even though it is apparently a "rebodied Tahoe" which is "completely flummoxed" by, among other things, "grass clippings". He claims also that whilst driving one in the desert, he got something like 3MPG. He lost absolutely all merit with the H2/Escalade/RR off-road disaster that was posted a little while ago.

I forgot about the mpg part...I loved it when he stomped on the gas and the computer read 1 mpg. Any mpg computer in any car would read that when the pedal is to the floor (maybe the prius would read 3 mpg?).

It's all propaganda anyways -- anyone knows the epa rating is bull**** and nearly impossible to match no matter what you drive. I think I read once that it's figured out at sea level, windows up, no a/c, 60 mph, averaged over a certain number of miles (was it 20). I have no idea where I read this (or did it come to me in a vision while drunk?) but it's probably not hard to find out how they do it.

I made some guy back up for nearly an entire block once. It was great, he was a good halfway down the street by the time I turned down. We came nose to nose, he's looking at me, I'm looking straight at him. He gives me the WTF look where he waved his hands a little bit, I just shook my head. He honked his horn, I layed on mine drowning him out. He started yelling at me, I turned up my stereo loud enough to not have to listen to him. Etc.. Etc.. All and all it took him about two minutes to finally give up and back up. Once he began to back up I proceded to go forward so that he could not parallel park, I wanted him to back up THE WHOLE WAY. He gave me the one fingered salute a few minutes before, I thought it was fitting.

Hahaha, that's awesome Carey! Did the same thing to a guy in a VW this summer, but I was the one in the alley when he decided to jump in. Well, needless to say he was the one that backed up... :jump:
