Top Gear

Top Gear Episode 2, Season 9.

Plot: Three British car fanatics take unique views and unexpected challenges pertaining to perhaps the world's most popular transportation device - the automobile. The challenges, however, are highly unusual. Challenges range from finding a parking space for a power car in London to driving to the North Pole.

Genre: Documentary, Car Culture

Reading Level: Rated TV-PG

Similar Titles: Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters

Personal Thoughts: Much like Mythbusters, the show makes a series of complicated tests for two main reasons: to test if a challenge is possible and to do it because they can. The very quirky show manages to satisfy both "car guys" and non-car aficionados with solid information, surreal challenges, and humor. Additionally, they review and reflect on famous high-end cars, occasionally with British superstars.

Finally, the Stig. Look him up.
