How Top Gear Has Changed Our Lives...



If any of you has ever loved, liked or use a car, Top Gear is going to be a must "netflix" for you.  Now, History Channel has just recently come out with a "Top Gear" show but do not be fooled.  It is just an bad impersonation of the real deal.  the UK has created a show so wonderful it is our new dinner, nightly ritual.  Somehow, Top Gear has unleashed Gunnar & I's inner lust for muscle cars, super cars and ridiculous english humor.  I have always leaned toward having 'car infatuation' BUT this brings me to a whole new level.  AND for Gunnar who thought people who slammed on the gas real hard were just doing just to be jerkish and beat him off the line, has had his eyes opened for the first time and realized, no not jerkish, they just like their car... 

What Top Gear has also done is caused me to be accident prone and a real target for the local police who like to hide out and clock me. Accident prone because, if I see an Audi, Porsche, Corvette, Challenger, Mercedes or a BMW I immediately focus my attention to find out what kind it is, how it would be like to drive one of them and how fast I could go in it.  I now have mini heart palpitations every time I see a Police car I have to slow down because I am driving my Tahoe like I would be driving a Bugatti Veryon. 


What I have also found is my Super Car Preference.  As it turns out, I am not really a Porsche or a Aston Martin fan.  I know they can be fast and are luxurious and all but, I prefer cars like the Audi Q5 and the Challenger.  Well any Audi really...
My mommie dream car. 

If I could choose ANY car for Gunnar, This would undeniably be it.



So, if you have a hankering for super cars, or any type of cars really Top Gear can always feed your inner car beast.  Unfortunately this new found hobby of our is completely and utterly wasteful, at least until we are rich and famous right?
