Top Gear HD

The best car show in the world, some of the best (if not the best) cinematography of any show on television, an hours worth of hilarity, insane stunts and beautiful exotic cars... and it has always been shot in standard def.... (Clarkson voice).... Until Now.

The next season (the 14th) will be shot in HD. Finally. Honestly, this show more than any other show in the world deserves to be in HD. After pro sport, this is the show where HD will actually matter.

Here's hoping that Verizon does the right thing and brings the best show in the world to these HD loving shores.

As a side note, I would love it also if the BBC decided to actually show Top Gear on time, rather than months late... but I would settle for HD at this point.

A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
