The US TOP GEAR has arrived....

... and I'm happy. Not entirely impressed but super excited for what's to come.

They tried to pull off the British humor think at first but then it seamed as if they relaxed a little and started to enjoy themselves. I think as time goes on they might actually get into a groove and pull off what's never been done before and export TOP GEAR to another country.

I don't really know the hosts all that well and to me that's fine. I still don't know the UK hosts background and I think it make for a better experience. Just three average-ish guys playing around in the world of cars. I know the one guy's a drifter and another an actor and the last a numbers guy or something with NASCAR.

I also couldn't be happier that there's a Stig! There were rumors at first that Stig wouldn't make the trip to America. But he did and was one of my favorite parts of the premier tonight! More for the reason that I can be the Stig for Halloween next year and Katrina can't say, "No one will know who you are!"

Things I don't know about.... The rehashing of things done in the original. They previewed the season and one shot was of one of the guys in a car full of water. Be done. There was something else that I saw. On the other hand it'll be interesting to see an American twist to these stunts.

Over all I'm stoked! I don't think I can make up my mind on just one episode but hopefully the next nine will blow me away like the original. Who else saw the show? What were your thoughts!?!?!
