3. Would be funnier if they drove through Toronto with a hockey sucks sign |
|
Of course they wouldn't do that because they wouldn't get out alive

7. My jaw dropped when they showed up all piled in the back of the truck |
|
Now, it could have been a Saturday, but they were all available having nothing better to do. Then, there's six guys piled in a truck to defend Nascar.
*shudder*

Suppose you succeeded in beating the shit out of them. We've established that the backward South has a completely corrupt judicial system. They'd throw you in the clink and make you whistle while you dug ditches all day

I drove all over the country - through some small towns in some very red states - with half a dozen inflammatory bumper stickers on my car and never even got the finger anywhere.

15. This was a bit more then a wee bumper sticker |
|
We are talking about slogans pained all the way down the side of cars in the biggest possible letters designed as a dare to see who can get the other arrested or shot in Alabama.

14. You have to see the whole programme |
|
It was hilarious from start to finish what with Hammond driving his pick-up truck into an alligator infested river, Jeremy Clarkson with a dead cow on top of his sports car and so on.
The end of the show is the three of them arriving into New Orleans and seeing what a mess it's in deciding that they can't sell their cars in such a desperate place and giving them to the local mission instead. And even then James May couldn't get rid of his Cadillac!

19. Did they actually chase them once they tried to leave the gas station? |
|
Edited on Mon Feb-12-07 01:42 PM by RubyDuby in GA
Couldn't they be charged with some type of crime?
- trying desperately to remember why I was once proud to be a Southerner...

23. IIRC the fact that the rednecks were throwing rocks at them should have got them arrested. |
|
Especially if one of those rocks hit one of the camera crew..

Crazy redneck hicks think they can get away with anything just because you don't agree with them.

31. Just watched the episode |

Laughed hysterically until I saw that they were actually driving through Pissant, AL, with those slogans on the cars. Whoever gave them that challenge really had it in for them...
