Fixed it for you: (put [ y t ] and [ / y t ] around "7cjXSdbljmg" (no spaces with the YT stuff).

(Edit: Wasted time--YouTube doesn't want it embedded!)

you nailed their problem. seems they think Americans aren't true car enthusiasts like the Euros..

Anyone remember the UKs Top Gear episode were the 911 gets trashed? Jeremy who drives the 911 and trashes it, prefers the 928 to them. I think this treatment makes Tanner's look very tame.
Show still sucks though.

This has been discussed here quite a bit already. Actually they spoke very highly of the 928. It is not a great show to begin with so we just need to take it with a grain of salt that they treated the car with more respect than a lot of cars they have on that show.

Coming from you, that speaks volumes. I just have a problem with trashing a great car for a TV show.

1) It got your attention, so the stunt worked.
2) There are STACKS of trashed and to-be-destroyed 928's out there, let em go
3) #2 increases the value of ours
4) If it didn't draw attention, they wouldn't use it. Its good...again, for the value of what's left.

Yes out of the three he does have some very good talent. He is also pretty humble with his talent. I just wish we could see him do more serious car content. He drove a newer Porsche in a super car challenge show and absolutely destroyed the other driver in the Farrari or Lambo, I forget which one it was and afterward he was saying how he did not even need to turn off the AC.

Remember watching Tanner in another exotic car TV show a couple years ago. His tallent was clearly evident but he already had the racing background by then. I agree, he is very humble about it too.

Maybe he liked his previous rocket shark so much he wanted to drive another. So perhaps the producers said. Were gonna trash a car on the next show so pick whatever you want. So being he was impressed with the shark...he picked another. I think he picked a shark cuz he loved to drive another one. To drive it...the producers said they were trashing it. Not him. The trashing is a residual of the show.

I thought the OP was referring to the "rocket shark". Is there another one? When will that episode air?
