Yeah, I noticed that too, haha.

The road definitely looks like GMR.

Can't touch JC's analogies.

P.S. Aircraft carriers are called ships, not boats, which are much smaller in size and different in design.

The vid wasn't bad at all. In fact, their production quality has grown immensely from the EVO X vs. '08 STI comparison he did.

Also, just because an aircraft carrier isn't fast, that doesn't mean they don't pull like nobodys business

"he said it catapults you like an aircraft carrier" I assume you know how an aircraft takes off from an aircraft carrier.

Apparently Farah is going to be a host on Adam Carolla's new car show...I wonder what will happen to the Smoking Tire?

I really like Matt Farrah. Along with Chris Harris and Clarkson, I think he's up there with the best presenters.
You left out Tiff Needell, perhaps the premier car reviewer of the past decade (He's my favorite, for his exhuberance, ability, knowledge, and sense of history)

Call it a statement of passion.
