  1. So I turned my car off because I didn't want to leave it running if that was a bad.
  2. Hi, car question! Since sharky's not around--

    I just jumped my car and started it for the first time in several months. When I did, some smoke? exhaust fumes? started coming out and I dunno if that's normal or bad or what. It was coming from the engine, I think. Right next to where it says "check oil".
  3. You're definitely right about that. They're both adorable and beloved, so I'm sure they'd find work hosting something.

    And yeah, you can definitely tell Top Gear is scripted at times. It's very easy to differentiate between the genuine moments of them playing around and crappy stuff happening and when they're acting. Not that it's bad or anything.
  4. Yeah, honestly, I've seen basically every episode of Top Gear since I started watching the whole thing on Netflix a year and a half ago and while they all kind of joke around with stereotypes, I can't think of anything they've done that's been hateful. And most of the time they're saying worse things about each other and England than they say about other countries.

    But I think the thing that bothers me most though is that as far as Jeremy goes he's basically said he's playing a character and doesn't actually believe everything he says. He's being entertaining for the sake of putting on a good show and like you said, it's never really hateful.

    But I also do feel really bad for Hammond, May, and all of the crew that are now out of work until this gets sorted. Probably more so for the crew really since I have no doubt Top Gear could be canceled tomorrow for good and May and Hammond would land on their feet.
  5. Honestly, reading over the remarks that are so "racist"...yeah, they are racial stereotypes, but nothing that's been actually vitriolic or offensive, you know? And certainly Hammond and May haven't said anything bad, so it's kind of unfair to them to pull their paychecks because of someone else.
  6. I would be too if I hadn't caught up yesterday. Might need to go back and watch some of my favourite until the BBC caves to the 350 million viewers that don't care what Jeremy did.
  7. OH MY GOD I'M WATCHING TOP GEAR RIGHT NOW
  8. Are you ready to census?
  9. No problem. I'll see if he can do it.
  10. I'm kind of busy! I can do it if need be, but maybe see if Jiro can do it first? (My parents are staying for the weekend, otherwise I'd say definite yes.)
