He explained himself on SPEED channel one day. They were showing off his LATEST Corvette (at the time).

The interviewer asked him to explain his vigor, and enthusiasm for American cars. What he said, changed my way of thinking forever:

"I don't think many people in China are watching the Tonight Show. I support those who support me." WOW!

Well said.

I saw the youtube video of Top Gear's Corvette test, from a few years ago.

They have improved the Corvette so much since then , most notably interior perceived quality levels. As well as engine, trans, steering.

However, If I ever see that bastard in real life, I'm gonna run the other way, so I don't go to prison for beating him in the face with my bare hands. j/k

You know, I grew up with Dave, I saw his first show ever with Bill Murray - forever ago.

He has really begun to piss me off too. Acerbic is the word I saw describing him. No women that aren't skinny will even think of going on his nasty show.

I still record it sometimes, and ff through the bs.
