Top Gear has got to be one of the best/funniest shows on TV right now, all genres considered. They had a "US special" last Sunday where they drove through Alabama with various "liberal" writings on their cars. It was a total riot. Won't reveal the details as it would be sure to cause a stir here.

Very fascinating Wikipedia article on this as well. (I'm deaf so while I really enjoyed the video, this article really told me a lot.)

Have you seen the new 6.5 liter AMG? Saw one in Orange County last week. But I always see the greatest cars there first....especially Mercedes!

Sick ride.

Check out this one from Maybach. Not in production, though. They only made one for a tire company.

http://www.exelerocar.com/

218 mph at 2.66 tons! 0-60 in 4.4 seconds.

I think it sold for $8 million.
