There's actually been 9! I never watch TV anymore, so that's my problem haha. There were 9 (technically 14 or 15) last season too, they just split it up.

I can't believe I've missed basically the entire season. There's already been like 7 or so episodes

Season finale was last night. Ready for Shipping Wars to come on

They should play it again 5 or 6 times like they always do. I just keep the DVR set to record them and the handful of other shows I care about.

Did anyone notice the Ram screaming when it was pulling the 727? I would have loved to see the trans temps with it running that hard and moving that slowly. The low end torque or the EB put on quite a show.

If you have History channel, they're playing the last couple starting 8am on Saturday and running all day (IIRC) if you wanna catch some. I'd happily lend ya my info, but then you'd have access to my whole DirecTV account . . .

All that means is that episode will not be aired again for the next two weeks. My DVR is set to record only new episodes of top gear and it has a new one scheduled for Tuesday night at 9 pm eastern.

What I did like was how the turdra had the commercial where they pulled the shuttle, but the EcoBoost smoked it pulling the 727. Not only was it smoked, it came in dead last, even behind the hemi.

To be honest, they should have pulled the 727 in a straight line like maybe halfway down the runway and timed who got there the fastest. That would have been a lot fairer than what they did.

I actually got to see that episode... The Ram was DEFINITELY screaming. I wonder what kind of rpm's it was turning in 4L like that. It seemed like I couldn't even hear the EB AT ALL and IIRC, didn't the EB beat the Ram and Tundra by about 2 full seconds? I kind of wondered just a second if the Tanner ran the EB in 4H after hearing Rutledge's comment about thinking he could've done so in the Tundra..... Nah... Had to be in 4L right? He WAS making some pretty good speed by the end of the run though...
