00:00 To us, the show is really going to make sense because it's American cars and culture that's
00:04 relevant to America and the perfect place for it.
00:07 I didn't get that until we got like three quarters of the way through shooting it.
00:11 How different.
00:12 You know American car culture is different and you can pretty much track the history
00:16 of the country with the automotive history of the country.
00:19 But I didn't realize what a unique thing it was for this format.
00:24 To talk about a pickup truck or to have a super loud car and be like that's awesome
00:30 instead of it's hideous and wrong.
00:33 With the UK show, the rest of the world's car culture is just so dramatically different
00:37 than ours.
00:38 It took me a while to really realize how much this hits right in the heart of the American
00:43 car culture.
00:44 Are you doing any vehicle testing like they do?
00:47 Yeah.
00:48 I got to drive the American car culture.
00:50 I drove the Porsche Panamera Turbo, X6M.
00:55 It's a good mix of old and new.
01:04 This is a Martin V12 Vantage.
01:07 Some fun cars.
01:08 Are you at all shy about bashing a car if you don't like it?
01:12 They're pretty much not shy at all about that.
01:15 I think it's a little more politically correct in the US.
01:18 I think if we're supposed to not say what we feel, they forgot to tell us.
01:22 Oh, okay, good.
01:23 They'll say something sucks.
01:24 What do you think?
01:25 I go, I don't like that.
01:27 How many episodes have you filmed?
01:28 Ten.
01:29 Ten of them?
01:30 Ten, yeah.
01:31 Is that all for the first year?
01:33 So far, yeah.
01:34 But it's been a lot of fun.
01:35 Yeah.
01:36 It's been a lot of fun.
01:36 Yeah.
01:37 I'm excited.
01:37 I'm excited.
