Top Gear USA Hosts Tempt Death By Corvair, Pinto And Samurai
Here's a a pair of exclusive photos from the set of next Tuesday's apple pie-flavored Top Gear on History, which reveal the boys will attempt to drive three infamous 
"dangerous cars" to the death: a Corvair, a Pinto, and a Samurai. Our 
money's on the Corvair.
It's hard to tell who is driving what from the photos, but I think 
the last time we saw Tanner Foust he mentioned he'd driven a Samurai at 
some point during the season. The Suzuki, of course, was famous for 
rolling over (a reputation that's a bit misleading). It was a blow to 
the brand they've never recovered from.
A bright red Corvair screams Adam Ferrara who is, if you've ever 
watched the show, clearly unsafe at any speed. That leaved our dear 
bearded friend Rutledge Wood to pilot the Pinto. Rutledge is not a hipster, but a Pinto is a kind of alt choice.
For Rut's sake, if he's driving it, I hope this whole trend of 
stuffing fireworks in the back of whatever he's in doesn't continue. 
Whoever is driving the Pinto was at least smart enough to modify the 
vehicle to provide some level of safety.
The rest of the episode, we hear from our sources (i.e. an email provided 
to us from BBC PR), will include Fat Tony in a small car and Rutledge 
trying to "teach Adam that it's possible to drive a car without breaking it by getting him behind the wheel of one of the quickest, most 
dangerous vehicles around."
Any guesses as to what that might be? I honestly don't know.
