How has it come to be that we always must make fun of America in order to boost our own, needy egos? Making fun of the most uneducated, clearly the most improverised portion of America, and acting as if it represented all of America, is very unsettling to me. Have we become that insecure? Where is our pride?

I get so tired of the pompous anti-American rubbish on this show. You would think the UK had produced more than a handful of decent sports cars ever. 'America can't produce a decent car'..bollocks. Ever heard of a Corvette, a Mustang, or a Viper? Cobra? Trans Am? Unlike the impossibly expensive sports cars shown on Top Gear, the US has produced scores of very fast cars for decades that a normal person could afford. GTO, Chevelle, 442, Super Bee..the number is, as Clarkson would say, staggering. But if your view of an entire nation is this backwoods hillbilly place as seen in this episode, so be it. Enjoy your ignorance and arrogance.
