Lochdown…

Predictably, they followed the formula… the bombshell at the end was not as surprising as you might think…

How were you able to watch it so soon?

Edit: Never mind. I clicked on the trailer and it keeps going for the whole episode.

My 11 yo son set the clock on his iPad to GMT so we could watch it at 5:00 PM MST… when I walked in the door from work, he hit play.

I watched it last night.

On my Amazon account it just came up as "suggested for you". If you liked the other shows, you will enjoy this one. I found it funny that all three of them had decided to keep the cars they started the trip with as a personal car. Only about 5 cars have been keepers over the years.

Can anyone explain the inside joke about the keyboard keys being worn down?

Back in high school, my friend's dad had a 76 Caddy with a 500ci motor. That car was HUGE! Dad bought her a Cimarron to drive. You know, lots of my friends dads had Caddys. A friend whose dad was my dentist had a 78 Caddy and a 74 455 Trans Am. Another one used to drive her dad's 82 Coupe de Ville...

I remember parking my 914 next to one of the Caddy's with the 8.1 liter engine. I pulled up to the same wall as the Caddy so our front bumpers were about even. My rear bumper came to the middle of his rear doors.

One of my friends bought one of those and ripped off all the emission stuff, and put on aluminum heads and a good intake and carb, and a limited slip rear end. It was the best burnout machine ever. He sold it because he destroyed too many tires and he was getting 6 MPG.

They were trying to imply what type of pron Mr Willman prefers.

Wow. that was spectacularly bad. I think I dozed off for a bit in the middle... Easily their worst least funny adventure. Really helps when the cars are at least interesting.

Rrrriight. Now I get it. I'm visual. I need to be hit over the head with the joke like the birds-eye view of the bridge segments.

Good episode! I laughed out loud several times. The formula works.
