Haha what do you know about old Barstow? It is a pretty disgusting place. I was stationed in a tiny Marine Corps. base there.

I hated seeing him tear up that nice Camaro. He did the same thing to a cherry El Camino on Monster Garage. He doesn't give a shit about nice cars.

Runflats only run flat for so many miles, and I'm guessing the number of miles drastically decreases the faster you go. If I remember right, I think you're not supposed to go above 35 or 45 MPH with them once your tires are punctured (pretty much just there to get you to a tire shop sans tow truck) But thats what I HEARD, so I could be wrong

That episode was pretty cool, I thought. I thought it was rice that he let them stay on his tail at the beginning, because he shoulda' pulled right away from the start. I agree that he shouldn't have been driving around the other people like he had, but I thought the preview show stated it was supposed to be in a closed-down residential area. It wasn't completely though. I also didn't like that he just waited for them to come get him either, and then have the car stall on him when they finally get there. I think it pizzed me off more to see him totally beat-up on that nice car and only call a draw on the first attempt and barely make it past 20 minutes on the double or nothing. Given, if he just took off, it wouldn't have been much of a show, but it didn't seem all that representative because a suspect isn't just going to stop and wait in a real chase, IMO. The 800 horse' statement was just stupid too, because I could've swore JJ said it was a 200 or 250-shot at the beginning of the segment.

My bottom line: it was an entertaining episode but not really practical or representative. I'll keep watching though
