'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'Viking Trucks'

April 2nd, 2013 10:03pm EDT
Top Gear USA
The Top Gear season is over already? What? Yes, Virginia, it's that time again - but at least Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust and Rutledge Wood are going out big. They're not even in this country.

They're in Iceland, to be specific, with Adam and Tanner delivering a suitably dramatic introduction to their last shenanigans. They've all bought the best American trucks they can find, and are tasked with seeing which one can best survive this international expedition. Tanner arrives with a Ford Bronco, Rutledge and his International Scout will never get lost in a crowd because they're both bright o...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'Minnesota Ice Driving'

March 26th, 2013 10:01pm EDT
Top Gear
As if Mammoth Mountain wasn't enough, the hosts of History's Top Gear are now going to tackle ice driving in Minnesota, which Tanner Foust describes as "one of the harshest environments in the country." Yep, the producers are really trying to kill these guys.

Trying to identify the perfect winter vehicle for under two thousand dollars, the hosts first have to get their chosen vehicles out from underneath piles of snow. What did they pick this time around? Adam has a Chevy Blazer S10, Tanner a Nissan 300ZX, and Rutledge a Subaru Legacy GT. After the usual round of disagreeing, all three car...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'Mammoth Mountain'

March 19th, 2013 10:04pm EDT
Top Gear USA
Top Gear likes to go big, and likes to do things the hard way. You had to figure they were going to tackle Mammoth Mountain at some point. Tanner points out that today's SUVs seem to be sorely lacking, and so the three hosts have decided to put them to a serious test: driving from Pismo Beach to the aforementioned mountain. He shows up in a Range Rover, Adam Ferrara gets a Cadillac (because "Adam" and "Cadillac" are always used in the same sentence), and Rutledge Wood rolls up in a Jeep.

After slinging insults and a reference to the Kardashians, the guys race each other to their first pit ...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'Doomsday Drive'

March 12th, 2013 10:02pm EDT
Top Gear USA
In the great tradition of Top Gear Apocalypse comes Top Gear's "Doomsday Drive." Having been on location while this end-of-the-world challenge was coming together, this is a Top Gear to remember.

Considering there's a whole TV show about people preparing for the apocalypse, this is a perfect challenge for these guys, who haven't met a situation they can't handle (or somehow unintentionally complicate before handling). Cue Tanner rolling up in a massive military vehicle that he is clearly in love with. Unfortunately, it costs a cool $750,000. That's way out of the price range. Time for the ...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'Taxis'

February 26th, 2013 10:02pm EST
Top Gear
Being a taxi driver is no easy feat. Just ask Richard Hammond, who attempted to do just that in this season of Richard Hammond's Crash Course. Yet that's not going to stop the Top Gear hosting trio from trying. And earning a disclaimer that says "Local authorities monitored the filming of this show. No laws were broken."

Our heroes Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust and Rutledge Wood are in Las Vegas, as Tanner tells us that being a taxi driver is supposedly one of the worst jobs in the country, partly because of the cars they're stuck with. It's therefore up to Adam, Tanner and Rutledge to fix th...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: '150 MPH Challenge'

February 19th, 2013 10:01pm EST
Top Gear
How cheaply can you get to 150 MPH? That's what the guys of Top Gear are trying to find out with some inexpensive 1990's vehicles.

They're in the Mojave Desert to answer this question. Adam Ferrara picks a '95 Pontiac Trans Am, while Rutledge Wood sides with a '94 Infiniti Q45 he's armed with nitrous (what?), and Tanner Foust selects a Saab 9-3 Viggen that he's coordinated with his outfit. Before they can try reaching 150, though, they've got a series of other challenges to go through first.

The first is racing a flaming arrow to save one of their prized personal possessions...which the p...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'RVs'

February 12th, 2013 10:05pm EST
Top Gear
After finding America's toughest car, the hosts of History's Top Gear are taking on one of the UK show's more outrageous challenges: making motorhomes. If you expect this to go well, you're watching the wrong show.

Tanner informs us via voice-over that RVs are expensive, and so they decided that they ought to make ones that are both cheaper and fun to drive. His idea of this is of course, one that goes fast and drifts, so he brings us a 1983 Porsche with a giant rocket strapped to it, "because that is awesome."

Adam's response to this is a 1973 Buick that he's put a replica of New York Ci...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'America's Toughest Car'

February 5th, 2013 10:01pm EST
Top Gear
After looking for the nation's toughest trucks, the guys of Top Gear are now on the hunt for America's toughest car. There are only two rules for this search: each car has to be at least 20 years old and cost no more than two grand. Other than that, anything goes...of course, because this is Top Gear.

Before we get into tonight's episode, let us wish a very happy birthday to Adam Ferrara, who celebrated his special day last Saturday - by freezing his behind off in Iceland filming another segment for the show. Happy birthday, Adam. The things you do for our entertainment will never cease to...

'Top Gear' (USA) Recap: 'College Cars'

January 29th, 2013 10:12pm EST
Top Gear
Top Gear is back on our screens with a Mexican road trip, in which each of the guys must drive something similar to what they had in college and of course, put it through its paces along the way. Tanner Foust rolls up in a '91 Eagle Talon TSI, while Adam Ferrara shows up in an '82 Cadillac, unsurprisingly, and double unsurprisingly, Rutledge Wood has a '76 VW Microbus. Clearly, their tastes haven't changed too much since their college years.

The first challenge set in front of our hosts takes place in the parking lot of San Diego's venerable Qualcomm Stadium - it's all about football. They...

Top Gear
America's wildest show on wheels is back. History's Top Gear is returning to your screens tonight for ten more episodes of car-centric adventure fueled by human craziness. Hosts Adam Ferrara, Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust are still doing everything they can (and some things they shouldn't) behind the wheel, including revisiting their college cars, taking on RVs, and facing the apocalypse. Yes, the apocalypse.

BFTV recently joined Adam, Rutledge and Tanner on location to get the scoop on some of the mayhem coming your way. The fun starts tonight with 'College Cars,' in which the guys get b...
