Just as a thought...is it possible that the gas station incident was staged?
TG is a TV show. Incidents like the gas station confrontation provide compelling entertainment.
I have a friend in England who has sent to me every TG episode of the last 3+ years. After watching these types of challenges in previous shows, to me they appear to be scripted. If nothing had happened in Alabama, what would Clarkson, May and Hammond had to talk about. The over the top reaction at the gas station plays directly into Clarkson’s American stereotypes. Stereotypes that he routinely uses on the program to describe how fat, burger-eating Americans are ignorant and uncultured.
