0:00:02 > 0:00:04Now on Top Gear, we find out how much car you can get for 1,000.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08Air conditioning doesn't work, that window doesn't go down.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10We welcome a Modern Family man on our track.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Unleash.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15He's going way too fast!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18And we go back to the roots of NASCAR.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Top Gear.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28On this show, nobody will get a makeover,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30we will find nobody here named Snooki,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33but if you love cars, you're in the right place.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I'm Adam Ferrara, that's Tanner Foust,
0:00:36 > 0:00:37and this is Rutledge Wood.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, we all know the economy is in the tank.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42People are tightening their belts, cutting out luxuries,
0:00:42 > 0:00:43getting back to basics.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45And that gave our producers an idea.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50The average cost of a car in the US is just under 29,000.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53But what could you get if you spent less?
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Much less.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55So they gave us 1,000,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58told us to go out and buy the best car that we could find.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Then, we were all to meet in a small town in North Carolina.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06They handed us a series of challenges to figure out who got the best deal.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Our meeting place - North Wilkesboro, North Carolina,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17the heart of the rural South.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Since this challenge was in my backyard,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I was the first one to arrive.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27This is the 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It was it was Motor Trend's car of the year for 1987
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and really, it was the first time that we saw
0:01:33 > 0:01:36the ideas of Japanese and German engineering come together
0:01:36 > 0:01:37to work in an American car.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And I got it for 1,000 bucks!
0:01:40 > 0:01:41HORN BEEPS
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Tanner rolled up next.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Is it my high school science teacher?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51What are you driving?
0:01:51 > 0:01:551987 300ZX.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Nissan's foray into the sports car world in the US,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- and the ideal road trip car. - You know we're in the South, right?
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- Yeah, that's why I don't want to get stuck...- Pride of America, and you show up in a Nissan?!
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- It's reliable. - Is it female? I noticed it's been wearing a bra for a long time.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Maybe it is. You, on the other hand, are in trouble.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15What is in there?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19It's custom, it's a custom interior, it was really hard to find like that.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20There's a fuel pump.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- 16-inch aftermarket alloys. - And somebody's sweatpants - are those yours?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27No, but they're nice, they're all-cotton.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- They've got blood and grease on them.- Oh, no, that's just years of performance and power.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Don't tell me that's what I think it is.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Holy crap, it's a Coupe de Ville!
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Huh?!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I worry about Adam sometimes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Wow.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Ha-ha!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Oh, wow!
0:02:52 > 0:02:541976 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Gentlemen, this is a sign of prestige and class, as you can plainly see,
0:02:59 > 0:03:00and the end of an era.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02This is the last of the big Cadillacs.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04In 1977, all the Caddies got smaller,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and Elvis died on the toilet.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Wow.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08No offence to Elvis,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11but there's a reason both of those things happened.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15There is some grandfather wandering around right now lost,
0:03:15 > 0:03:16looking for his baby.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Did you see this?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19That's a real positive.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21A full-size spare.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- A rear-view, in case you want to look...- Yeah, I need that, give me this.- You may want that.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29This was the finger-pincher, that would clip people's fingers off. Close that...
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Wait, wait! Watch how you close it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33You don't want to catch your fingers, because it has...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Get your fingers in there... - ..a motor.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- It's properly got, what, 400 under the hood?- Five, my friend. Five.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- 500 cubic inches. - 500 cubic inches.- Really?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46You better start buying gas cans now.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50The smart move was that you brought an American car.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Tanner made the real bad move of bringing that
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Japanese hunk of crap over there.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58That's cos I wanted to get there - look at this thing!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00You paid 1,000 bucks for this?
0:04:00 > 0:04:021,000 bucks, and it's the best value here.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05This car weighs 5,000 pounds
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- That's 20 cents a pound. - Pretty good deal.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10That is terrible logic!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12'Logic? No, this was strategy.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17'I knew this Caddy could take whatever ridiculous challenge the producers threw at us.'
0:04:17 > 0:04:21"To find out which is the best 1,000 car,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24"you'll put them through the ultimate test of drivability,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26"durability and manoeuvrability -
0:04:26 > 0:04:28"moonshine running."
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Back in the day, moonshine runners
0:04:31 > 0:04:34had to be fast, reliable, and agile,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36to outrun the revenuers.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40In their off-days, moonshiners would race each other,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43which led to the beginnings of NASCAR.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Load up your trunks with bottles of grain alcohol and head across town for your first challenge.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Adam, I'm going to help you with your hood, it looks funny.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53No, don't, what are you doing?!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Go, go.- Give me that!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I don't have it, man!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11HORN BEEPS
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I knew a guy that could get us some grain alcohol.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Along the way, I learned that when it comes to 1,000 cars,
0:05:21 > 0:05:22you get what you pay for.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Now, when the turbo kicks in, it sounds fine...
0:05:27 > 0:05:28..I just...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Because the speedometer quit working,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I can't tell how fast I am going.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36In '87, the Thunderbird set the fastest lap in NASCAR history
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- 212.8 mph, with Bill Elliott at the wheel.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43My coupe has heritage.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I love this car. It reminds me of when I was a kid.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51My father always had a Cadillac,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53and that was the car we took on vacation.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55We used to camp at Lake George, New York,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57and it was a five-hour trip from our house on Long Island.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I could sleep on the back deck, right below the rear-view window.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So, for 1,000, I got a Cadillac.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I knew it was going to be comfortable,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I knew the ride would be smooth,
0:06:09 > 0:06:10and I knew it was built like a tank.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12But there are a few things that don't work.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16The air conditioning doesn't work, that window doesn't go down,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18the glovebox doesn't close,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20and there's a small, tiny exhaust leak.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22HE COUGHS
0:06:27 > 0:06:28My air conditioning does work,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30that is a huge bonus,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33because it is hot and humid out there.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36The clutch feels pretty good, radio's on internal seek,
0:06:36 > 0:06:37as it should be,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40The dome light is eternally on, maybe...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Little bit of a vibration up front. Transmission...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51.. not so good.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Horsepower...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I don't think we're clicking on all six cylinders,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58it really wouldn't even climb that last hill.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I don't think we're going anywhere fast.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Rutledge led us to a shady barn
0:07:11 > 0:07:13in the middle of nowhere.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- How many do we have to pack in? - 100.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28100!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30That would be 25 gallons.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh, Adam, are you going to be able to get out of here?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40That boat, she's laying anchor, my friend.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- THUD! - Yep, that is the ground right there!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Thanks to Rutledge's kinfolk,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49each of our cars was loaded with 100 quarts of white lightning,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53and at over 50% alcohol,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56it was the highest octane fuel these cars had ever carried.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Ow!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03'We were asked to drive 50 miles outside of North Wilkesboro
0:08:03 > 0:08:05'for our first challenge.'
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Adam, how's that land yacht doing?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It looks like you laid anchor with that hitch back there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16All this weight does not make a bit of difference in this car, my friend.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19My car drives even better with the weight in the back.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I feel much more secure now.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23You keep thinking that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25There's your car right up there.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30I can hear your bottles clinking every time you cue the microphone.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32That is because they're in the car with me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36You guys have the luxury of having all of that flammable liquid contained in a trunk.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You should light up a cigarette, it'll relax you.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43If you need a cigarette, I got several thousand butts in this one.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47'We arrived at our first challenge - an eight-mile stretch in the woods.'
0:08:47 > 0:08:53"Legendary moonshine runner, turned NASCAR champion, Junior Johnson,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55"is credited with inventing the bootleg turn,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58"where a driver escapes his pursuer by putting his car
0:08:58 > 0:09:00"into a 180-degree turn,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03"then speeding off in the opposite direction.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06"Cars must go to the marker, execute a bootleg turn,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09"and race back to the start line. Fastest time wins."
0:09:09 > 0:09:11'J-turns required a handbrake,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14'this is a perfect challenge for my car,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17'but the 400 pounds of hooch could be problematic.'
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I think if I get on the grass a bit,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23that'll make it nice and smooth for those bottles back there.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Three, two, one, go!
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Come on, baby.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32First gear.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Oh, he is in the ground!
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Oh!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh, wow.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Come on, baby, come on!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- How did he do?- 17.72.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Three, two, one, go!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53'It was my turn to show the Yankee and the drifter
0:09:53 > 0:09:54'how we do it down south.'
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Oh, my God, I can hardly watch!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I think he hit the wrong brake.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08He's still going into the river.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Come on! Come on!
0:10:15 > 0:10:1626 seconds even.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19This is going to help.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22You got this, buddy, no problem.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Go big, or go home. Ready? - 30-point turn, coming up.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Three, two, one, go!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30He is so dead right now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Oh, my gosh.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Look at the speed.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- He had it going.- He did. I thought he was going to do it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Here, step back.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50He smoked ya.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52He smoked ya!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55'But Adam's reckless driving cost him.'
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Wait a minute! What's that down there?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- It looks like you got 50 or 60... - Just a little bit.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Let me investigate. Step back. - Oh, there it is!
0:11:03 > 0:11:04It's right there.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Bonnet's coming down!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10"Congratulations on completing your first day.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13"Since moonshiners often spent the night
0:11:13 > 0:11:15"sleeping in their cars out in the woods,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- "to evade the authorities..."- What? - "..you'll be doing the same."
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Son of a... That sounds awesome, moonshiners!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Those seats don't even recline that far.- Oh, that sucks so bad.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44We were weighed down by 25 gallons of booze.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46During the journey to the campsite
0:11:46 > 0:11:48our cars were really starting to show their true...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50value?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Oh, my gosh, I can't even make it up this hill.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That hill was a little steeper than it looked, huh?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10This car is getting hotter and hotter by the minute.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15If anyone's curious, I'm trying the old heater-on trick -
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Which is great. It's only...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I dunno, 90 degrees in the car already.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'm going to have to slow down this sucker,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24we are hauled away in the route.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'm going to have to pull over.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33'Rutledge's car was having some issues,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36'so we decided to give him a hand.'
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Do you feel guilty leaving him back there? I don't think we had an option, really.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I felt a little guilty, but it went away very quickly.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54How much do you want to bet that Rutledge gets put up by, like, a sweet old grand-lady?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57He's going to, "Yes, m'am" his way into a shower and a bed.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01'As we neared our campsite,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04'Rutledge was still somewhere in rural North Carolina
0:13:04 > 0:13:06'bonding with his Turbo Coupe.'
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Oh!
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Bone dry!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13'No wonder my engine was overheating-
0:13:13 > 0:13:15'the thermostat was stuck.'
0:13:15 > 0:13:17There's got to be something in here
0:13:17 > 0:13:19to put a hole in that thermostat.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21A textbook - that won't help.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24That could work.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31There we go.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34'I had to sacrifice some of my rocket fuel for dirty puddle water
0:13:34 > 0:13:36'to fill my radiator.'
0:13:36 > 0:13:38That should be fine. It's an '87, who cares!
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I'm pretty sure that we're kind of getting duped a little bit here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Moonshiners - why would they stay in their cars?- They got stuck?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- No.- No.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- They were like masters of not getting stuck.- At least I've got a comfortable car to sleep in.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- You're going to sleep sitting up. - Thanks for reminding me.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04No way is that Rutledge.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Hey, fellas.- We're just saving you a seat here.- How are you, pal?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Aw, thanks, I could use one,
0:14:09 > 0:14:10I've been working a little bit.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You know, I didn't want to leave you.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Really? I didn't get that same feeling
0:14:16 > 0:14:18We were so happy to see Rutledge,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20we broke out the good stuff.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Clink.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Oh, my God. - HE CHOKES
0:14:29 > 0:14:31That is so smooth!
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Mmm, mmm!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38That's awesome.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Oh, it's burning so much.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Right in here.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44HE CHOKES
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Do you need somebody to hold your hair?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57HE COUGHS
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Ohhh!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Hey, I went and checked - that wasn't a bear I heard.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Aw!- Yeah, take a big old...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Oh! It does kind of sting a little bit.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Do you think it's flammable? - Yes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Oh, you're going to spit on it? Hell, yes!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Ohhh!- Oooh!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Ah! - HE GAGS
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Take it!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Oh, oh! It burns my whole face.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29I think my beard's fallen out.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32This is fun.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I am the God of hellfire.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Oh!
0:15:37 > 0:15:38THEY LAUGH
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Why don't you spit on the fire all day, tough guy?- Fire!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44You know the scariest thing though, right? Sasquatch.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Cannonball, coming at you.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I'm going to die!
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Why d'you say that to my face?
0:15:51 > 0:15:52THEY LAUGH
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Oh!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57'Camping turned out to be pretty fun.'
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- I think it's time for me to retire. - Good night.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03'Thanks to our liquid dinner, we would have no trouble
0:16:03 > 0:16:04'sleeping in our cars.'
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Good night, ants.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Damn...car.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- HORN BEEPS - Sorry
0:16:21 > 0:16:23APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:16:25 > 0:16:26That was pathetic
0:16:26 > 0:16:31That is the worst stuff I've ever put in my body.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- It's like liquid devil. - You're from the South, I thought they breast-fed you on moonshine?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Live and learn - Rutledge is just a big wuss.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42OK. Well, it's no news to us.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46In the news... Have you guys heard about the new Porsche 918 concept car?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47- Mm-hmm.- Pretty impressive.
0:16:47 > 0:16:503.4 litre, 500 horsepower motor,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54but it also has an electric motor that puts out 218 horsepower.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58They think, combined, it'll do 198 mph,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00and get 78 miles per gallon.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'm kind of all over this, I think it's pretty cool.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06When you hear "hybrid", I would rather think about that,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- than the terrible Prius, but... - LAUGHTER
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I still don't think accountants would drive this,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I think they'll probably just stick to the Prius.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- It's a beautiful...- No, Enron accountants would drive this.- Yes.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20But Porsche isn't the only one, the Italians are doing it as well.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21This isn't a concept -
0:17:21 > 0:17:25there is actually an electric Lamborghini that you can buy now.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- So, do you want to see it? - Yeah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29There it is. LAUGHTER
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Wait, that's THE Lamborghini? - That is the Lamborghini.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37One of his sons, I think it was Zeppo Lamborghini,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39said "Daddy, I want to make a chainsaw",
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and he's like, "All right, go and make a chainsaw"
0:17:42 > 0:17:44So that's the electric Lamborghini chainsaw.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Some good news, though. In Nevada, there's a guy - Eugene DiSimone
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- He looks like a Eugene, doesn't he?- Yes, he does.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53His political platform that he's standing on,
0:17:53 > 0:17:57is that he's going to make it legal to drive 90 mph
0:17:57 > 0:18:00for 24 hours if you pay 25 bucks.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- 25 bucks for 24 hours, you can drive at 90 mph?- Yes.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- What do you think of that? - THAT is awesome!
0:18:08 > 0:18:10CHEERING
0:18:10 > 0:18:13You could go 90 mph anywhere you want?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15For 24 hours.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Can you imagine going 90 mph down the Vegas strip at night
0:18:19 > 0:18:21watching the lights go over?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It is on the freeway.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25But yes, that would be pretty awesome.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28You could go 90 mph through a drive-thru.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33What do you think that works out to be per year?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Like, eight grand. A little more than eight grand.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Who would've thought a guy with a moustache
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- could come up with such a good idea. - LAUGHTER
0:18:41 > 0:18:44OK, there's a company in San Francisco,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47they did a study on the cars most likely to get tickets,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49and the cars least likely to get tickets.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51We'll start with most likely.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54You will be most likely to get a ticket in a Toyota Camry Solara.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Which makes no sense to me,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58you shouldn't get a ticket,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01you should get a trophy if you can speed in that thing.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03A Scion tC
0:19:04 > 0:19:07And the Hummer. You're most likely to get a ticket in a Hummer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Now, the cars you are least likely to get a ticket in
0:19:10 > 0:19:13is the Mazda Tribute, the Kia Spectra.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14LAUGHTER
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Ha-ha, that's for sure!
0:19:16 > 0:19:18The Buick LaCrosse...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20and the Buick Rainier.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Least likely to get a ticket. - I think that's probably
0:19:22 > 0:19:26because most people who have Buick's are just about to die.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- Yes.- Their slogan should be, "Buick - how's your hip?"
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- "Buick - your turn signal's on." - THEY LAUGH
0:19:37 > 0:19:40"Buick - it worked for Tiger Woods."
0:19:40 > 0:19:42AUDIENCE GROANS
0:19:44 > 0:19:46APPLAUSE
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Right, I've got something I want to show you guys.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53It's right over here
0:19:53 > 0:19:57So this is the 2012 Mustang Boss 302.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's built basically off a Mustang GT,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00so it's the 5.0,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03but this one's been massaged -
0:20:03 > 0:20:06new heads, new valve train, new intake, new pistons.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09All that together is good for 440 horsepower,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13but the best part is that it redlines at 7,500 rpm.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- That's a lot for a V8.- Yeah.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Now, this is the Laguna Seca edition,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21that means they were trying to beat the time of the M3, which they did.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23They started with a set of R compound tyres,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and built the suspension around that.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27So in this one, you've got adjustable shocks,
0:20:27 > 0:20:28stiffer roll-bars,
0:20:28 > 0:20:33you've got a backseat rear-delete with a huge crossbar.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- I mean, this is a real race car. - With a live rear axle?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Yeah, hell yes.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38I think it's cool,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41but... Just that all mustangs look the same to me.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44There's 98 different versions of the Mustang you can get,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47different packages, the Super Snake, the Super-whatever.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49This one - it looks the same as the rest of them.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51How can it look the same?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55You've got 19s on it, it's got 14-inch Brembos on it, the same size as the Dodge ACR.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57A huge real splitter, not just for looks.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Now, the ACR does have them on the back also, what does that one have?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Slightly smaller. This has Recaros. - LAUGHTER
0:21:04 > 0:21:08It's got a six-speed short-shift, this is a real stout car.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I see that they've done some stuff here,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13this is a pretty bona fide splitter, goes all the way back.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15That's a Ford racing catalogue part.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16That's a real splitter.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17But it's a foot off the ground
0:21:17 > 0:21:19which means that it will do almost nothing.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Why are you such a snob?! - You're upset that it beat the M3.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Because this car can actually get in your driveway,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28it's a real race car that you can really drive.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31But the sound is my favourite,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- do you guys want to hear it? - AUDIENCE: Yeah!
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Now, keep in mind...
0:21:36 > 0:21:38..this is totally stock.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41They have exhausts that will come out the back
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and they've got turn-downs.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46ENGINE REVS LOUDLY
0:21:46 > 0:21:49APPLAUSE
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Our guest tonight stars in the hit show Modern Family,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57please help me welcome Ty Burrell.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- I like this, I like it.- You like that? You know where that's from?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Is it from that Coupe de Ville?- No, it's not from that Coupe de Ville!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- That is from a Grand Cherokee. - Really?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Yeah, it was parked in the lot this morning.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Nice.- Thank you for being here. - Thanks for having me.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You're having an amazing year.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- You guys won an Emmy, Modern Family's won an Emmy, right? - Yeah.- You were nominated too.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28And Entertainment Weekly called this gentleman right here,
0:22:28 > 0:22:33"This season's break-out comedy actor."
0:22:33 > 0:22:37You deserve all that stuff. A great year, now you're in an aeroplane hangar sitting on stolen seats.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Come on!- See how fickle showbiz can be, my friend?- That's right.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44So you guys had a car on the show, you had a Country Squire Wagon?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Yes, it's a gigantic station wagon,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48with the fake wood panelling and everything.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51The family has this car, and they can't get rid of it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55They're trying to sell it, but the sentimental value is too high.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So they take it out for one last sort of picnic,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and it ends in complete catastrophe,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05with the car going over the edge of a hill. And...
0:23:05 > 0:23:07We do that here a lot.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10So it was really a blast to shoot.
0:23:10 > 0:23:16- At the same time, I was buying a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle...- Uh-huh.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20..from a guy who was having a very difficult time letting go of it.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25I called him and said, "I'm really interested in the Beetle",
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- and he started to interview me. - To buy the car?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32To buy the car. He literally was asking me questions
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- to see if I was up to purchasing the car.- Were you buying it, or adopting it?- Yeah!
0:23:36 > 0:23:40He really was like, "What do you plan on using the car for?"
0:23:41 > 0:23:45I would like it to travel from one place to another,
0:23:45 > 0:23:46that would be great.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49So, I finally passed muster and then he said,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53"OK, but I'm going to actually need, before you pick up the car,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55"I'm going to need a weekend with the car."
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I think his words were, "I need take it out for a beer."
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I'm trying to send him pictures and stuff,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- and let him keep in touch. - Oh, that's nice!
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Does he have visitation? Is he allowed to come out?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- We're working with the State of California on that.- Very good.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- And that's your daily driver? - Yeah.- That is very safe.- Yeah!
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Trust me, I do nothing but drive this car when I'm driving.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It's not like a modern car
0:24:19 > 0:24:23where people text and drive, or talk on the phone and drive, or whatever.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25so I'm literally doing this,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27and pulling a series of pulleys and flaps.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30And, you know, it's like, you DRIVE.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Were you always a Volkswagen guy? - Yeah, yeah.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37I was looking for a Beetle, because that was the car we had when I was a kid. It was largely sentimental.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- So how do you think you did on the lap? You want to look? - I'm very curious.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42If it would hold true to my normal driving,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I would think it was pretty slow,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- But I don't know, we'll see. - OK, you guys want to see the lap?
0:24:47 > 0:24:48AUDIENCE: Yeah!
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Let's take a look.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54There are dozens of horsepower.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Unleash.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03That was such a little-ole-lady start.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Nothing like driving with wipers on
0:25:06 > 0:25:08to make you feel like a race car driver.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Safety first, we like that.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12This is the Teardrop - the slowest part of the track.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- And I made it slower.- No!
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Look at that.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Feeling...
0:25:17 > 0:25:19..raw...
0:25:19 > 0:25:20fear.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21I mean, power.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23This is the quickest part of the track.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Look at that, you're hitting that nice.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29# Do not get too close Camera people
0:25:29 > 0:25:32# Don't get too close to me. #
0:25:32 > 0:25:34That's very sweet, you're singing a warning.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Are you coming into Cameraman's Curve?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39- Oh!- Yeah, exactly.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42For the first time in my life I feel alive.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44This is the final corner right here...
0:25:44 > 0:25:46There you go, you're getting on it now.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Nice finish across the line!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Well done.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Now, that was a wet lap.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- We do mark it as a wet lap.- Right.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- I can almost guarantee that you will be somewhere in the top three.- Yes!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Where do you think you came?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Uh... I'm going to say 2.45.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Well you did it...in 1...
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- ..40...- Oh.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18..6...
0:26:18 > 0:26:19APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- ..0.6.- 0.6.
0:26:23 > 0:26:261.46.06 -
0:26:26 > 0:26:28and it was a wet lap, so we're going to put you here,
0:26:28 > 0:26:29but that was a wet lap.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You're above an astronaut, and below a hobbit.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34All right!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And you were a great guest. Thank you for being here.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38- Thanks so much.- Ty Burrell!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Welcome back to Top Gear.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Tonight, we're finding out just how much car you can buy for 1,000,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53by taking three bargain-basement rides
0:26:53 > 0:26:56and putting them through the ultimate test -
0:26:56 > 0:26:58that is, of course, moonshine running.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Yeah, to get away from revenuers, moonshiners had to have cars
0:27:01 > 0:27:03that were fast, agile and reliable,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and thanks to those early moonshiners
0:27:05 > 0:27:08we now have the great sport known as NASCAR.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Yes. Thanks to your people's hard work
0:27:10 > 0:27:13we can all enjoy driving 200 mph in a circle.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16You suck.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18OK, let's get back on the road.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30'Spending the night in our cars certainly took a toll on us.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32'No sleep and a long road trip don't mix.'
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Sleeping in the car sure did suck.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- HE YAWNS - Oh, my gosh.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I had a good time last night.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43We were spitting fire.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45That's cool.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Wake up.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Rutledge threw up, that's cool.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Almost fell asleep right there, I just had a dream.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57'We had a 100-mile drive to our next challenge.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01'Adam and Tanner were brimming with confidence.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04'I just wanted the T-Bird to win an event.'
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I really think Adam thinks he made the right choice, you know?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10He's Italian, he's in a Coupe de Ville.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12He thinks that car is the stuff, cos growing up,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15if you had one of those, you were cool.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20'Now, when I was growing up,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22'if you have a car like Adam's,'
0:28:22 > 0:28:25it meant you were 80, and you might die soon.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Looking out of the hood,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31this is like looking out of the deck of a battleship.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Planes could land on this hood.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37So the seventh number on this VIN number is an E.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39That means this car was made in New Jersey.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47I'm just passing, as we speak, 278,000 miles.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54That is more than 10 times around the planet at the equator.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58This little car has driven 10 times around the planet,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01and is still running almost perfectly.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Unbelievable.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11It was time for our next challenge.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17All right, fellas. Challenge number two - the ultimate durability test.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19In order to avoid revenuers,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21moonshine runners didn't always stick to the road.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23With police in hot pursuit,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25they often took short cuts through the woods,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28crossing creeks, fallen trees, and steep terrain.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31To find out if your cars are cut out for bootlegging,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34they will be put to the test in this off-road course.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38'This course was made for dirt bikes and Billy goats,
0:29:38 > 0:29:39'but we had no choice.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41'The fastest car around would win.'
0:29:41 > 0:29:44All right. Finally a challenge I can sink my teeth into.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49- With that?- Yeah, I'm ready. - Have you looked at the course? There's two huge jumps.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53There is a cliff by that giant tree right there.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Yeah, We're screwed.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Is that your lack of confidence that I hear?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59That's refreshing. I would like another sip.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- Pick a number from one to ten.- Seven. - Close - eight. You go first.- Yeah!
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- Let's do it.- That didn't sound fair.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14This is going to be bad.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15- Are you ready?- Yep.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Go!
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Big turn.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Whoa!
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Now, if by some miracle your car makes it through the water feature,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40this part will get you.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Oh that was... There was some definite breakage there.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Oh, oh, a shortcut.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Look at him. Oh, no! Oh, man!
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Almost rolled it over.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Uh-oh, I think it's done.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Noooo!
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Shall we tell him that he already crossed the finish line?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Nah, let him go. Kid's having fun, let him play.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Oh, oh, oh!
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Come on. Come on!
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Yes!
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- He thinks that's the finish line. - Yeah!
0:31:22 > 0:31:23THEY LAUGH
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Oh, wow! That is one.- Look it's everywhere, it's leaking from here.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I meant to tell you, you crossed the finish line right there.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- That is what those other cones indicated. We didn't tell you that?- No.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39So that other stuff, when you were killing the car, that was just for us. Thanks.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41My old Bird was up next.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Do you think he is going to go for it, or granny-drive it?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- I think he's going to go for it. - Look at him pull up to the line.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50He's going to granny-drive the hell out of it.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53HE TAKES A DEEP BREATH
0:31:53 > 0:31:55This is it, T-Bird.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57We've had our ups and downs,
0:31:57 > 0:31:58you broke on me,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00but now I need you more than ever.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Just let me win one event.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Oh, man, this is a guy conquering some fear.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I'm ready, let's kick ass!
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Three, two, one, go!
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Come on, Rutledge!
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Come on, baby.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Come on. There we go!
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Oh, oh!
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Don't chicken out. - Come on, come on, come on.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Woo-hoo!
0:32:39 > 0:32:42BOTH: Yeah!
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Oh, that was awesome!
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Done.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48HE LAUGHS
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Hello!
0:32:49 > 0:32:52'Even though he drove like Betty White,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55'Rutledge still managed to do some damage.'
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Oh, my gosh!
0:32:56 > 0:32:58'Adam was next.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00'There's no way he could win.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05'Just sailing that 5,000-pound boat on the course was inviting disaster.'
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Want to make bets on if he get stuck?- I think the bet is how soon he gets stuck.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Man, you'll do great. You're going to do great.- Good luck.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18It was nice knowing you, Caddy.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21He's seriously scared out of his shorts right now.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23I don't know how to tell you this, Tanner,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26everybody needs to become a man at some point,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29and he chose to become a man in a '76 Coupe de Ville.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- And that was HIS mistake.- That's the same thing that happened to me.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35That is so weird. Mine was a '78.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38God, am I nervous. This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever done.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42I'm off-roading in a battleship, with a trunk full of moonshine,
0:33:42 > 0:33:43listening to two guys I can't trust.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47All-in kid.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- OK, Adam, here we go. Three, two, one...- BOTH: Go!
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Oh, he's hitting the grass!- Oh, no!
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Oh, my gosh, he's going way...
0:34:10 > 0:34:12He's going way too fast.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30How is it possible he's still going?!
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Through the water splash - this is where you get stuck.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Oh, he goes over the water!
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Oh, no!
0:34:39 > 0:34:42RUTLEDGE HOWLS WITH LAUGHTER
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Oh, man! He almost rolled it.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Oh, come on, Adam.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- Throttle, throttle! Hit it... - This is going to be so bad.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Dun-diddle-un-dun-dun!
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- THEY HOWL WITH LAUGHTER - Yay, Adam!
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Dude, the car is bent. Look at it. Look at it!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10It is like a canoe right now.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Oh!
0:35:12 > 0:35:13- Stop it!- Stop the clock.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18How did that just happen?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Oh, was that fun! That's my baby!
0:35:23 > 0:35:25THAT'S MY BABY!
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Are you OK?- Yeah!
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Wow!- That was unbelievable.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34I want to make fun of you so much and tell you it was awful,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36but I've never seen flight like that.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38You can't open the door.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Did you have to climb out of the window?- Yes!
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- You broke the windshield.- Yeah. - Dude, the whole car is bent.- Yeah.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- You bent that entire front clip. - Yeah.- And does it still run?- Oh...
0:35:48 > 0:35:50He did a 2.38.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I did a 2.01. You did a 1.52.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Yes!
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Yes!
0:35:58 > 0:36:01THEY LAUGH
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Look at all the lids. Look at them!
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You smashed every single bottle.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Look at all that glass, dude.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- You should close that before it just ignites.- Quickly.- You know what? I feel like... The motor works!
0:36:14 > 0:36:15My truck motor still works.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19'But after that beating, little else on the Cadillac did,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21'and with one moonshine challenge left,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24'we limped off the battlefield.'
0:36:36 > 0:36:38"Welcome to the Rock, Rockingham Speedway,
0:36:38 > 0:36:42"where NASCAR legends, from Junior Johnson to Geoff Gordon,
0:36:42 > 0:36:43"have traded paint.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46"There's a good reason so many moonshine runners
0:36:46 > 0:36:47"became NASCAR champions.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50"When stealth failed, it was all about speed.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53"This challenge will see how long you can outrun the police."
0:36:53 > 0:36:55The police?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57CAR IN DISTANCE
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- What?!- We're so screwed!
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Oh, no!- We're done.- Officer Stig.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22'Our cars were going to have a hard time getting away from the Stig,
0:37:22 > 0:37:26'our silent professional race car driver, but anything's possible here at the Rock.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29'Inside The Rock's famous oval was a one-mile road course.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32'We'd each be given a 15-second head start,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34'then the Stig was free to hunt us down.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37'Whoever could elude him the longest was the winner.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39'I was up first,
0:37:39 > 0:37:41'Rutledge second,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43'and Adam...
0:37:43 > 0:37:44'never.'
0:37:52 > 0:37:53ENGINE REVS
0:37:53 > 0:37:56He makes me nervous.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Are you ready?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Three, two, one, go!
0:38:05 > 0:38:0713, 14...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10There he goes.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Oh, my gosh, this car rotates a bit.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Go, go, go, go!- Whoa!
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Oh, in the grass. Look at that!
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Ha-ha!
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Oh, oh!
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Oh, he spun.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32He spun, he's in trouble.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Completely stuck. Here he comes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Oh-oh, she's starting to die. She's overheating.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- POLICE SIREN WAILS - Here it comes.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Hit him!- Get him!
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Is he going to spin him? Oh, he got him.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50I'm not going to tell him I'm impressed.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53I think I killed her.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- When you spun, was that the pressure of feeling the lights on you? - No. I wanted to see if he was there.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- The mirrors are all broken off, I wonder how that happened? - I don't know anything about that.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Are you up now?- I'm ready. Do you want me to show you what a real time is?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- I'm ready for that.- Re-setting.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Rutledge is talking a pretty big game, eh?- Yeah.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- The Thunder Coupe may have something in reserve.- Three, two,
0:39:15 > 0:39:16one, go!
0:39:16 > 0:39:18HE REVS ENGINE
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Is he getting out?
0:39:24 > 0:39:25What are you doing?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I tried to neutral-drop it, it didn't work.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30- Run!- That's it!
0:39:30 > 0:39:34That's your head start, man.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- What just happened there? - I don't know, what's he doing?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43The police officer's going to hit him. He wants to hit him.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45That's it.... Run! Run!
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Use your turbo!
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Now...- He's hanging it out.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Go Rutledge! SIREN WAILS
0:39:51 > 0:39:54ADAM LAUGHS
0:39:54 > 0:39:56He's bailing the evidence.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02One minute two seconds.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Don't say nothing!
0:40:06 > 0:40:10How much do you want to bet he's throwing up in the back seat right now?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Did you throw up back there, Rutledge?- That sucks so bad.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- Is that number seven? - That sucks so bad.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17I don't know what's worse...
0:40:19 > 0:40:23..the running, or what happened in the back seat.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29In the end, this wasn't just a journey through the South,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32it was a voyage back in time.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34We've all owned crappy cars.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40They may have been stinky, filthy,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42dangerous rust buckets,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45but when called to perform, our cars rose to the challenge
0:40:45 > 0:40:48and we grew to appreciate them.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52These cars may have only cost 1,000,
0:40:52 > 0:40:57but they gave us everything they had.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I love that car.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I'm still shocked that you can walk
0:41:06 > 0:41:08after jumping that Cadillac like that.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11What was up with the Ricky Bobbie moves you've got?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I had to get away from Officer Stig.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18- You know he's really not a police officer, right?- He's not?- Moving on.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23However, it was a great journey, but all that really matters is who won.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- That's right, so let's start with the J-turn. Now, Adam, you may have beat me.- I did.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- But Tanner beat you, so we'll give him that right there. - I smoked that one.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Next up was camping.- Hello.- That's not an event.- Sure it is, I won.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36- Mark it down.- Why did you win?
0:41:36 > 0:41:40I woke up in the morning straight as an arrow, my spine was fine.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41You guys woke up with scoliosis.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- I won.- True story. - All right - off-road.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- And that would be me again. - Yeah.- You killed the car!- Yes.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Style points AND the quickest time. Mark it down.- All right, fine.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- We'll give you that one.- Off-road. Next up, police. How did you...
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- I had the lowest time.- It's not the lowest score. This isn't golf.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- It's how long you could evade the police and...he won again.- I ran.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06I know.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10All right. Last up, moonshine.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- You get a point for spelling that correctly.- Thank you.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Now, I didn't have much left. Adam, how about you?
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- I had some. - You had none!- It was in the trunk.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Your trunk was soaked with more booze than Mel Gibson.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- How much did you have? - I had about a case.- Really?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Yeah, so I think I walk away with that one.- OK.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31So that would put you here.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Adam had two, I got the goose egg. Tanner with 3.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- Which means the Nissan takes it.- Oh!
0:42:41 > 0:42:43I don't know what you guys were thinking
0:42:43 > 0:42:45when you showed up with those cars
0:42:45 > 0:42:47because I knew from the beginning,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Nissan is the most versatile, reliable.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53If you have 1,000, and you're going moonshine running, it's a 300Z.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55If people had been enlightened, back in the day,
0:42:55 > 0:42:59they would be racing Nissan Z's right now in NASCAR.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- There'd be 300Z's ripping around everywhere.- That is blasphemous.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06All right. Well, that's all we've got this week.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
